Marketing Committee Meeting

11-06-08 Canyonville Chamber of Commerce Marketing Committee Meeting

Those present: Pam L., Doug, Cheryl M., Dan B., Joanne G., Madalyn D.

Thank you, Misty for responding to my meeting reminder email. It is reassuring to know someone is reading these.

Misty announced through her email that Canyonville Ace will start having Senior Day on Thursdays. Contact her for more information. Also Friday, Nov. 14 there will be a Sock Hop at Canyonville School with carnival games in the gym from 6-9.

Gordon's Pharmacy was chosen for November Business of the month. Other businesses with ballots were: Morin Glory and Cyber Cafe. It was a difficult decision as each of the ballots contained glowing praises of each of these businesses. Therefore, Mori'n Glory will be the business of the month for December and Cyber Cafe will receive the honer in January. Madalyn will interview the businesses and do a press release.

Ballots will be handed out at the January Chamber meeting to encourage more voting.

Reminder: ballot boxes are located at Ray's, the Post Office and City Hall.

Discussion of low cost advertising posibilities: Create attractive posters and display them in prominent restrooms. Display same posters at Kiosk at city hall. Perhaps do a town wide poster. Further discussion needed on these creations. Pursue placing advertising in the 7Feathers shuttle buses.

Downtown Holiday Celebration! Friday, December 5 we hope to light a Christmas Tree on the corner in front of Umpqua Bank. Several music & choir groups will be invited to entertain the public at different locations downtown. All businesses are encouraged to stay open til 7:00 p.m., serve refreshments and offer some sort of attraction to draw people to our wonderful town. Madalyn will prepare a flier to be distributed to all businesses. Hope you can all join in on the fun.................

The newsletter is offering the opportunity for businesses to advertise in our quarterly chamber newsletter. A mock up with prices will be available soon. The next newsletter will be printed in January. Send an email to: newsletter@canyonvillechamber.org with businesses stories and announcements.

Please feel welcome to join us at the Thursday morning, 8:15, meetings at the Chamber Information Center (bring your own coffee). Or send an email to commgdn@pioneer-net.com with questions, announcements, etc.
