Through Digital Main Street I put our BIA forward to be considered to participate in a new program called Get In The Loop and we were 1 of 5 BIAs accepted!  I've met with the owner and team from Get In The Loop and was impressed.  Because this is being done in partnership with Digital Main Street the team is anxious to work with our members and to ensure that this new marketing app helps you during this crazy time.  All of our members can sign up - retailers, restaurants, services etc.  What I like about this program is that you can post promotions for anything that suits your business - whether it's driving people to your website for on-line orders, business hours, specials, virtual classes etc.  You determine what you want to promote - it expands on what many of you are already doing on your social media platforms.  It's another marketing layer and it is free.

 

Currently Get In The Loop has approximately 12,000 followers in downtown Toronto - those are the people you will reach.  We will also promote this new program through our social media so that our BIA followers can get it too. 

 

Broadview Danforth BIA businesses will receive free access to the premium Partnership Plan on GetintheLoop for 90 days.  This will provide local businesses with a mobile marketing platform to promote offers, information and promotions to the smartphones of nearby consumers in our area and beyond. There is no contract and no future obligation.

Current market conditions are challenging. This program will help by providing your business with a tool to communicate and promote how you are operating (curbside pick-up, delivery, ecommerce, buy now, use later, etc). In addition, this will enable your business to evolve and adapt offers and information to nearby shoppers as the market conditions change, all in an effort to drive more awareness and revenue. 

GetintheLoop local owner Adam Emanuel says, “Residents can download GetintheLoop’s free app and register to receive email and push notification updates directly on their phone. You can also follow us on social media and view offers online to stay connected.”

If you're interested in signing up or receiving more information about this program please email me directly and I will get the ball rolling for you.  Again, I was impressed with this team and usually Digital Main Street selects good companies to partner with so I'm recommending that you give this your consideration.

Thanks,

Susan
