Weekly Update Newsletter

August 9, 2017 

Greetings!

My name is Sydney and for anyone who has not yet met me or know about my role here at the Chamber, I have recentlytaken the lead on handling our Social Media pages, along with the Weekly Newsletter. Even though I have been with theBeach Chamber for only 5 short months, I have learned a great deal about tourism & marketing. Especially how itrelates to our island sized slice of paradise, that we call Clearwater Beach; that we call Home! It's been a great honorgetting to know all our Chamber Members and I am so excited to be taking a further reaching, more proactive role inpromoting your businesses!

As this Summer draws to an end, we see that our Visitor Stats have grown tremendously for May, June and July overlast year. We hope that your business stats have done the same! Our goal for the end of Summer is to capitalize on thisupward swing and start a new trend for many seasons to come. I would like to post on our Beach Chamber Facebookpage everyday something about all of your amazing businesses. Our Facebook page alone has over 8,000 followers! Bestof all, we do all of our social media promotions as a courtesy to you, our valued member.

With that said, I can only make this work with the necessary tools. So can you take a few minutes of your time and helpme, help you?   Here's what I need:

* Photos o Send me your best!

* Specials o Currently running, a code you use to track the ad, etc.

* Brief description of what the photo is about

All Chamber Members are welcome and encouraged to participate. Restaurants, Hotels,Pubs, Retail, Attractions, Watersports, Transportation, Services, etc. etc.
