Why aren't independent resorts and hospitality vendors seeing consistent growth anymore?

Because buyers today don’t want to be sold to

They want to be helped. 

And outdated sales funnels? 
They’re about as useful as a “Do Not Disturb” sign in a digital-first world.

So, how do you drive real revenue without burning trust?
➜ You answer their questions. 
➜ You build relationships. 
➜ You show up before they even hit “inquire.” 

That’s what we do at Lure Agency.

Since 2012, I’ve helped independent resorts and the vendors who support them attract, convert, and retain more business using a proven transparent relationship marketing strategy.

Built for how modern buyers actually buy.

What’s the difference?

Most agencies pitch impressions. 
We deliver impact. 
With clear ROI, scalable strategies, and messaging that doesn’t just sound pretty.

It sells.

Because after 30 years in marketing, here’s what I know for sure:

No trust = no sale. 

But trust? 
Trust scales.
Along with sales.

Struggling to find sales?

Let's connect and chat about it.

SOLD OUT: Last seat on the couch 🕺

Hope everyone has a festive and safe New Year. 🍾

LinkedIn evolution 101.

From lurker mode to FOMO creator.

Can y'all do better in 2026?!

J/K. I'm just goofing around here. 😂
You're all amazing.
Cheers to an awesome 2026! 🍾

No budget this holiday season? 
No worries…

All you need is courage. 😂

Most New Year's goals die in February.

Not from lack of motivation. 
From overthinking.

That's the difference between the thing you did and the thing you wish you'd done.

One text. 
One poll. 
One video. 
One live conversation.

Thirty seconds to hit send on the thing that scares you.

Here's the thing about New Year's resolutions:

Most fail because…

We wait for perfect timing. 
Perfect strategy. 
Perfect confidence.

But courage isn't a feeling you wait for.

It's a decision you make in 30 seconds.

So here's a challenge for you this year:
Stop waiting to feel ready.

Give yourself 30 seconds of insane courage and just go.

That idea you've been sitting on? 
➝ Send it.

That person you want to connect with? 
➝ Reach out.

That format you're scared to try? 
➝ Post it.

The human side of you is what people want to see anyway.

What's one thing you're giving yourself 30 seconds of courage to do this year?

I didn't need more motivation.

I needed better systems.

Motivation fades.

Systems stick.

I learned this the hard way when I opened Lure Agency over 13 years ago.

Early on, I'd get pumped after a conference or big win. 

Then life would hit, energy would drop, and momentum would stall.

The shift happened when I partnered with Susan Tucker and stopped relying on feeling inspired, and we started building repeatable processes.

Here's what changed:

→ Morning routines became non-negotiable, not mood-dependent.

→ Team meetings followed agendas, not vibes.

→ Client strategy calls are more strategic, less winging it.

→ Delivering services moved to a structured, repeatable framework that produces positive outcomes in less time.

The result?

Consistency. 
Growth. 
Less stress.

When you build systems, you remove the decision fatigue. You show up whether you feel like it or not.

And that's where real progress lives.

Not in the highlight reel moments.

In the unglamorous, day-after-day execution.

So if you're waiting to feel motivated before you start, you've got it backwards.

Build the system first.

The motivation follows.

What's one system you're building in 2026 that's got you fired up?

Public apology to Celeste Berke Knisely, MTA

Santa heard “send it.”
Comin' in hot this holiday week. 🏁

Merry Christmas y'all

Having spent years in the corporate and non-profit space, I know how difficult it is to find the time to plan experiences for yourself, your family or team.

My motto is simple: I create memorable, turnkey experiences for busy professionals and their teams or family.

Americans waste 700 million hours of PTO every year.  You work hard, it's time to put that PTO to use creating memories you'll remember forever.

Ready to book? Just shoot me a message and we'll get started!

P.S. All of my services are FREE! 
(Hot Tip: Any company you travel with (Disney, Royal, Sandals, etc) all have agent commissions built in to their public pricing so you pay for it either way!)

Mark Cuban made a bold prediction on AI this year and I think he's absolutely right. 

He calls it the "Milli Vanilli Effect" (Under 35? Google: Milli Vanilli 😂)

Mark says this: "Within the next 3 years, there will be so much AI, in particular AI video, people won’t know if what they see or hear is real. Which will lead to an explosion of f2f engagement, events and jobs.  
Those that were in the office will be in the field. Call it the Milli Vanilli effect"

The value for authentic human engagement, is only going to go up.  

This is a reminder, AI is a tool to enhance your human abilities, not replace them.

Love slower winter mornings.

Chocolate Banana muffins.

Ham and cheese frittata.

Baby on the table.

Love this season.

My kids practically refuse cereal at this point 😆

Read an email this morning, and my eyes skimmed this, then stopped and went back. 

“You have…to earn every second of attention you get.” - Will McTighe 

I needed to hear this,

I don’t deserve your attention.

I am entitled to no one’s eyes.

I have to show up every day and earn it.

I aim to do that even more in 2026.

Just getting started.

#LinkedInTravelAgent

I’ve seen this debate rage all month on LinkedIn and it’s time to put it to rest.

Unequivocally, this is the best Christmas show, period. 

Who’s with me?

Check out one of the new Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts properties 

Opening in 2026. 

Any guesses where this is?

Anyone else throwing down in the kitchen today?
