"Be careful of the people who
have access to your buildings,"
Mader warned. "Now nobody has
access to our offices upstairs unless
we know them."
Helping your customers get to
your location through clear signage is
also important, he said. "You have to
understand who your customer is,"

manager of Bayfield's Little Inn who
has been working with local
producers and manufacturers to
create unique products from the local
landscape. One of these is a rich

Zyvatkauskas stressed that the
terrois movement is not the same as
branding. The Provence region of
France, for instance, never had a
branding campaign to establish its
famous reputation, she said. That
j reputation came from respect for the
agricultural products of the region
and the food created from them. The
