MERCHANT PARTICIPATION
Here is your chance to
join in a fun event to promote business in the Hollywood District. We
are getting together to put on "Hollywood at Night," a special
shopping/music/wine/art/fun evening every third Thursday of the month
from 6:00 to 9:00 PM. We are promoting the event with posters,
banners, ads, press releases and fliers, so this will be a great
opportunity for you and your business to be part of the energy and
excitement.
How can you
participate? Here are some things other Hollywood businesses are
doing:
-
Having a local musician play at the business (find a local musician
who will play for free for the exposure)
-
Offering special discounts and/or promotions (ie: lemontree is
offering a discount for shoppers)
-
Wine tasting, cheese tasting, art show
-
Special events (ie: Quirks of Art & Furniture is holding a
two-minute art contest)
-
Special tours of the business (make it fun!) with refreshments
(check with the county health department first... if you are not a
food establishment, you can only serve pre-packaged foods or small
sample sizes)
So, what do you now?
1)
Let us know if you want to join in (tell the person who brought you this
info or email Kerry or Todd at
mail@quirks-of-art.com or call them at 503-282-4429).
2) Look for a
musician to serenade your business that night.
3) Think up some
fun stuff to keep visitors entertained.
4) Put the poster
in your window and put out fliers for customers.
5) Consider the
banner ad in the Oregonian; the more businesses that advertise together,
the bigger this event will look! top

Here's our new plan
to help bring people in for Third Thursday:
We are going to print out the
Event Guides and the
Trivia
Maps early.
That way we can give them out to our customers early, so they will be informed, aware and ready to
participate.
What this means for
you:
1) If you are on the
current Event Guide and the current Trivia Map, I am
going to take that same info and put in the November
guide and map. I will remove any specific info related
to trunk shows, etc, and keep it general, ie: trivia,
treats, music.
2) If you want the info
changed, let me know ASAP.
3) If you are not in the
guide or on the map, and you want to join in, let me
know by Monday, October 23.
We can always update the guide and map as the month
continues.
