The survey is also a good marketing tool for the sales office.


How do you suppose that works? Do you think that the Developer goes and tells Costco and Trader Joes and Boston Market to come here? That is not possible. The developer has no power over those businesses. The family can contact them and say they received 8000 requests but they can't make them spend an enormous amount of money to come here.


It IS a marketing tool to TRY to entice businesses to come here. Nothing wrong with that. Making money is a good thing unless you are dealing drugs.
