The organization needed to appeal to various demographic segments, including Elite & Affluent Empty Nesters, Wealthy Country Families, Boomer Power Couples, Up & Comers, and Young Influentials & Solos, each with distinct lifestyles and interests. The challenge was to create a robust marketing platform and enhance the value of the experience PLT offers its members, aiming to drive 200 new members within the first year of operation.
