Visitor spending fuels Grapevine's economy, especially in the Historic District. The reliable stream of customers drawn to the area by its authentic charm and special events is a key factor in Small Business success. And it's easy to see why: festival days and seasonal activations accounted for every one of the Top 20 busiest days in this strategic neighborhood last year... but most vendors in the area have learned not to depend on those surges for long-term success. Let's talk about what they do instead.

Here's what we're serving up:

00:00-04:43... welcome to GrapeFest
04:44-08:39... the core elements in every successful business
08:40-10:25... inside Giddens Art Gallery on festival day
10:26-14:05... Hip Pop's double-storefront approach
14:06-16:15... the electromagnetic theory of customer retention
15:16-18:05... an indie bookstore's unrelenting commitment to community engagement
18:06-20:06... what happens to an auto shop when the streets are closed?
20:07-22.40... doing business the old-fashioned way 
22:41-24:51... why volunteering is good for any Grapevine business, regardless of location
24:52-27:16... the invisible, essential benefit of community events
27:17-28:52... the party doesn't stop when the festival ends
