Found another excellent marketing opportunity. The Greater KC Area Visitor and Convention group (visitkc.com) offers 225,000 visitor guides per year plus 3,000 convention organizer guides to people who run conventions or visit the city. Only costs $500 for a yearly membership. In addition to being listed as a tourist destination, they also have several groups a week that put in requests for a place to hold a one-day meeting. Our facility would be a great match for that option.

Also had an interesting news item yesterday that could substantially boost our traffic. Missouri has a maximum of 15 casino licenses in the state. The President Casino in STL is closing down. As a result, a license is up for bid. One of the bidders is proposing a new casino only a mile or so from our location. If it happens, it would be a huge boost for us. Fingers crossed.
