More on Ladies’ Night Out

April 27, 2009

The Downtown Merchants of Historic Hillsborough (NC) present their very successful Ladies Night Out promotion this Thursday, April 30. The event draws hundreds of women into the downtown twice a year.  We discussed the event during a smallwander conference call.  An audio replay of the call is also available.

Since several member towns and promoters were interested in why the event is so successful, we share a brief slideshow presentation of the event prepared by Anne Derby of the Hillsborough Yarn Shop.

Next seminar – creating special events to stimulate downtowns

September 24, 2008

Our next smallwander.com seminar will be an open discussion about planning special seasonal events in small towns.  With the holiday season approaching, many towns plan Christmas parades and home tours.  How important are they for your downtown?  Share your experiences with other downtown managers and tourist officers who are hoping to initiate these types of events.

In case you can’t attend, check back for a recording of the call, which will be posted on this blog as a podcast.  Smallwander.com hosts a discussion about small town tourism and economic development topics every last Monday of the month, at 10 am.
