Critical Mass is Not Just a Religious Experience – The Rule of Clustering. This is one presentation you DON’T want to miss and it’s the most important ingredient to making your downtown an amazing destination for both local residents and visitors. To win you must institute “The Mall Mentality” – orchestrating your business mix. Think antique malls, auto malls, food courts, and intersections where there are fast food restaurants on all four corners. This is the rule of clustering. In this exciting and absolutely critical video, Roger Brooks will teach you the five steps to creating critical mass, showcasing several case histories, so that your downtown becomes THE place to spend time – and money and becomes the heart and soul of your community.

Are You Open After 6 pm? How to Make It Happen. Seventy percent of all consumer retail spending now takes place after 6 p.m. Are you open? One of the primary reasons downtowns are dying is because most downtown retailers close between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m., sending local residents – and visitors – to other destinations. This creates tremendous “leakage” of locally earned dollars being spent elsewhere. How do you change this? This video will teach you five different strategies you can use to help “Ma and Pa” businesses stay open longer, increase their sales, and make your community a much stronger visitor destination. After all, visitors spend the night where there are things to do after 6 p.m.
