Downtown Marketing Campaign
|
 The DTC is working with radio, billboards, social media & the Newspaper to develop a Downtown Marketing Campaign. The design and messaging should be ready fairly soon.
Pegg at the DTC along with a Board member or two will be visiting as many Downtown businesses as possible to see if this is something you'd find of benefit to your business. BUT! It can only happen if we sign up over 30 businesses to participate. The DTC is kicking in some funds and coordinating the effort as a benefit to our membership and all of Downtown.
What we will be seeking is $100 per month from each business for 6 months to roll out a campaign to promote Downtown. We have a few that have already signed on. If you are interested, please contact Pegg at the DTC or Andy at D.B. Searle's this week.
A special thank you to Townsquare Media for the current ads you've been playing to promote Downtown. We hope you are hearing them.
