Marketing Committee met Thursday, July 23, 9am
COMMITTEES AND DIRECTORS
Thanks to the Marketing Committee and their lively discussion about the Selby Stroll for Saturday, September 26, from 10am to 6pm. We agreed to move forward collaborating with Union Park District Council, who will help us expand strollers by promoting to their area residents and homeowners. More aggressive social media is now being planned, and we will have posters and listings of shops/members participating in the Stroll. We agreed to sponsor a "Grand Prize" giveaway gift card on our Instagram site consisting of four $25 each gift cards to four businesses, effective immediately. A brief introduction about having murals designed and painted on several buildings was well-received, with the first building being on the corner of Selby & Saratoga. The 2020 Shop by Candlelight event, always a most successful turnout, was not discussed; any decision about Candlelight will depend on the Covid-19 situation in the Twin Cities as we approach November.
We have two committees for 2020--Safety/Traffic is one and Marketing is the other--each can arrange when and where to get together, given Covid-19 stipulations. The Board of Directors also will arrange when/where they can meet, as they are obligated by By-Laws to have four (4) meetings a year, and will have to nominate new directors for 2021 for those who have served their two terms.
Saturday, September 26, from 10 am to 6 pm
2020 Selby Stroll - AN ANNUAL AUTUMN WALK IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
We are all eagerly looking forward to the 2020 Selby Stroll, a delightful and lively Autumn afternoon to walk and browse and shop and snack or feast. We will have posters and signs and social media in advance of this annual event, which covers the shops on Snelling and Selby from the corners all the way to Fairview and Selby.
