How many local business partnerships should I have before opening?

Local businesses are your door into the community. The more, the merrier. During your Presale planning phase, your Performance Manager will ask you to begin completing a document with as many as 50 local businesses. From there, we will discuss how to contact and partner with them together on weekly calls. It is imperative that the brand be aligned with what STRONG represents and stands for. The community would be the same demographic as your target members and ideally offer a product or service that would be exciting for your members. While we recommend having as many business partnerships in the community as you can, the quality of the partnership is the most important.
