Mayet Strategic Consulting specializes in destination development with targeted expertise in community revitalization, the adaptive re-use of heritage buildings, and shaping unique hospitality offerings that are both creative and profitable.

We specialize in creating THE neighbourhood spots.  Whether we are working with established businesses to improve operations and grow revenue, or entrepreneurs hoping to launch a new concept, we offer tailored solutions and expertise to guide your hospitality concept. Our focus is to take you through a process that is purpose driven, then build a plan that is creative, easy to roll out, and results-oriented. Finally, we help you implement that plan always focused on profitability.

The Process starts by realistically assessing where you are now, then helping to guide your organization to determine where you need to be. Our unique approach brings together the soft skills of understanding the community you serve with a concrete market analysis to determine the products and services that will fit best.

The Plan, we develop a plan on how to get there,  with the right scope and scale for your needs. We build in regular and measurable targets. We determine a market share you can realistically expect to secure, and revenue projections that are attainable. Our priority is always to focus your limited resources for maximum impact.

The Making It Happen means we can help ensure the plan doesn’t sit on the shelf. We can be as hands on as you need to make it happen, including developing your menus and training your staff. Our involvement in your operation is scalable, allowing you to keep it affordable while still offering the services you need to support your leadership and employees through the launch or transition. Regular touch-ins to make adjustments as required.

Infusing heritage properties with new energy and purpose is our specialty. Whether they hold formal designations or are just previously loved properties, we believe that these unique places offer the raw material needed to shape interesting neighbourhoods and contribute to cities in a way that new buildings on their own can’t. Creating  an interplay between old and new, in concept and use, is our specialty.

Shaping the Vision. From churches to old stables, we have helped clients reimagine dynamic new uses and concepts that merge what a property once was with what it can be. When shaping the vision, we take a broad view, developing an understanding of properties in their larger context. We consider the meaning the building already holds and the community it currently serves, with the potential to maximize its purpose and value.

Assessing the Potential. So often people have dreams of revitalizing old spaces without a realistic understanding of what is possible. Appreciating early on both the human and financial resources necessary to bring these projects to fruition helps clients determine the best way to proceed. Both long and short-term profitability is central to our assessment.

At Mayet Strategic Consulting we are passionate about projects that have a positive impact on the way people live and the places they visit.

Revitalization Plans bring together an ambitious vision with a realistic roadmap.  Through our economic analysis, needs assessment and community engagement processes, we help clients develop an approach they can implement. Property owners, developers, municipalities, BIAs and community associations, together have a vested interest in seeing their neighbourhoods flourish. Finding a path that identifies shared goals and commonalities, while acknowledging divergent interests, is the only effective way to revitalize a community.

Community Engagement, when genuine and well planned, is a central feature of any successful revitalization effort. The more energy spent on effective engagement early on, the better we can develop a meaningful and executable plan that neighbours support. This process allows us to tease out the unique character of a neighbourhood, ensuring people see themselves in the larger vision.

Strategic Communications, Public Relations and Marketing Strategies are built to amplify the narrative that is a central feature of the revitalization plan. Here we help clients develop a brand, visual recognition in the physical space that reinforces the unique character of the neighbourhood. Our goal is to make residents feel at home and visitors to understand they have come to a special place.
