It's not the thing that would make our market go wild, but it's what people need, right? It is, in the chocolate-covered carrot analogy, the carrot. Right? The chocolate is the Ad stuff that everyone thinks they need to figure out (and they do). But the carrot is the actual offer flow. It's the traffic flow. It's the big-picture strategy. And then the tactics".
