We can advertise all we want, but if the vendors don't offer things that the visitors want, then they won't come.

WE HAVE TO campaign to let everyone know that we have the best deals. The big-box retailers have set up shop, and now the swap meet isn't the only center in town with discount prices.

Most swap-meet tourists are like part-time locals who have been here plenty of times before. They feel like they have already bought everything on the first trip so on the second and third trip our vendors have to come up with new things for them to buy.

a monkey cage, except that the visitors do not offer me any peanuts.

Another word for advertise is persuade.

Our operation of the Welcome Center and improvements to other buildings should bring additional visitors and vibrancy to downtown Wickenburg.
