NEWS
Welcome Bags - Bring your items by Friday!
The Chamber is bringing back Welcome Bags for residents moving into Dripping Springs! The bags will be cloth with "Welcome to Dripping Springs - It All Starts Here" printed on them. They will be distributed through our local Title Companies and the School District. This is an excellent opportunity to get new customers to visit your store or try your service!
We will be preparing 100 bags. We suggest that whatever you choose to include, that it be of some value - not just a brochure. People are more apt to try your company if they have something or value to redeem or remember.
If you have a coupon or small item you would like to include in the bag, please bring 100 of each to the Chamber by Friday, June 22nd.
