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.

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.
