RE: Business Event Newsletter Response
Background
At a Board meeting for the Convention and
Visitor’s Bureau, the Board asked for a monthly
newsletter to be sent to area businesses
conveying information on larger events that are
coming to Cottage Grove. The newsletter is a
collaboration between the CVB and the
Recreation Department and meant to inform
businesses about the possibility of an uptick in
business during times when these events are
happening and not a guarantee of increased
business during those times
Discussion
A letter introducing the monthly newsletter was
sent out to local businesses with an invitation to
sign up to receive the monthly electronic
communication about these events. Currently,
approximately 60 email addresses have signed
up. The image shown to the right is an example
of one of the two emails that has already been
emailed out to community businesses. These
electronic communications will continue to be
sent out at the beginning of each month moving
forward.
