Business Experience Tiers
Urban Yard is building a tiered participation structure that spans from emerging local businesses to established destination brands. These tiers represent capability and service levels within the ecosystem — determining the features, tools and support available to a business.
Tier methodology and specific criteria will be published as the platform matures.
