BAH in December has light attendance, and considering a revamp for next one.
Two week intervals, with $50 Dino Dollars at end of each quarter.
Must take pic with selfie sign and #pclifestyle or share to Chamber page to enter.
You can choose to not post it in your shop. If so, just bring it to the next shop on the list.
Benefits – put sign next to products you are looking to highlight or move. Can move it throughout store during your time.
Merchants Responsibility – once your time is up, bring it to the next shop on the list.
Let Dina know if you want a certain 2 week window. Will start by reviewing and handing out sign at Feb.1 Merchants Meeting.
Great response. Different crowd and relaxed atmosphere.
Lighter response, maybe too long or didn't know about it.
Julie and Mardy sending thank you cards to photographers.
Easy program, not a lot of work on merchants, and can highlight a product or line in the store.
Ended up with about the same amount of donations that we do without the community group competition.
Think that there are already lots of groups that raise donations, and stretched too thin.
Likely will go back to KMMR coupons on Monday night only.
All were sold to the merchants, but merchants sold less than in previous years.
Strong consideration to go back to "be present to win" and three minute intervals for button numbers.
Merchants- keep your trees until next year.
Could add a "Button Button" promotion to replace Can drive. Merchants (sim to food bank coupon) offer a certain amount off if you present your Chamber button during that Monday night.
Encourage to stay open during week leading to xmas, seemed to be busiest for shoppers.
Keep using all forms of media, including articles for each week's events.
Dina to create a Merchants closed group on Facebook.
Can talk about hours will be open, concerns, issues and ideas.
Merchants can post their questions, and keep one place to check – esp during holidays, it was hard to know who was open and for what hours.
Could also use to let each other know what is on special or promoting at a certain time.
Nov 27 – None (keep open this after Black Friday)??
Kathy 1st and Eric/Dara 2nd Motion to keep officers as is.
Send your events to Dina so can have up to date 2017 events.
List of which organizations and groups the Merchants give to each year.
Dina to create a flyer with the list and be ready for Feb Merchants meeting.
Go out to local media, Facebook and print outs for each merchant to have in shop.
