What Inspires your Marketing? – DSP 309

Graham and Ashkahn talk about what it’s like when inspiration strikes, how they chase their floaty muse to a solid marketing idea and form it into an actionable plan. 

The reality is that it mostly involves a lot of listening and willingness to try, and fail at, new things. As with so many things, play to your strengths, focus on the things you’re passionate about and the rest is practice.

Monthly Budget for Float Centers – DSP 305

Graham and Ashkahn break down the real truth about how closely they watch their budget for Float On on  a monthly basis.

Financing Your Float Center with Investors

In addition to an increase in bank loans, more and more float centers have been using investors in recent years to finance their operations. Every center’s earning potential varies greatly — but a well-run center with no surprise buildout costs (or re-buildout costs) can do very well for itself.
