The St. Vincent's area businesses are still struggling for foot traffic and patronage after the closure of the hospital and we are intent on raising awareness. In conjunction with Assemblymember Deborah J. Glick we will be hosting a Valentine for the Village Shopping Day complete with raffles and gifts. See below for more details on this amazing shop local event! Perplexed by all the tweeting and facebooking out there? Our seminar on Social Media is scheduled for Friday, February 11 and we hope you will attend.

We will discuss strategies and best practices for using these low-cost tools to best optimize your exposure, develop relationships and drive sales.
In addition to a social media expert from Constant Contact, hear from a few member businesses who have used social media to varying degrees of success and who have out-of-the box ideas for you to consider in your social media endeavors!
