I’ve begun to play down the progressives. Shit no money is a hell of an incentive to point players another direction.
I don’t give a damn how much of a draw the progressives are; if they aren’t making me money, all the more reason to avoid their mention if they are such a big draw.
its like saying there are two concert halls. one you own, the other somebody else does. You have an opening band for your show; and across the street the’ve got the real Elvis.
So what? sure I wouldn’t mind getting the overflow; but when I advertise in the local paper; I don’t advertise “ELVIS PRESLEY NOW SHOWING ACROSS THE STREET! please visit our house band if you get the chance.”
I would advertise my house band. And if anything; I’d likely lose the traffic my ad did manage to bring in; to the damn Elvis show across the street, rather than it be the other way around.
In my eyes; its not a draw; its a damn distraction.
