Well we are excited to announce that our Drive-It-Yourself Tour was a huge hit. If your business didn't have a chance to participate this year you are certainly going to want to get in for next years tour. This was a great opportunity to get potential customers right into your door. I know the Chamber/Visitor's Center had over 75 visitors many of which said "I had no idea you were here." I know how hard it can be to get even 1 new customer so to have the opportunity to connect with people is priceless!
Below are a few of the testimonials:
"I thought today's TOUR was a great success. We had over 25 people stop in and we had quality interactions with most of them. We even had 2 new memberships get started! That's a Home Run for me. Great Job everybody." Pat & Julie McCoy - Owners, Snap Fitness 24/7
Here are some of the comments from visitors that staff recorded at the Library:
- "absolutely fabulous - live in Mantua, work in Aurora - all gems"
- "We'll be back!"
- "So fun"
- "businesses not familiar with - great"
- "enjoying it a lot!"
"From my perspective this program was easy to participate in and set up. It also generated a lot of traffic which hopefully will translate into future library usage. I know we took in a lot of library fines that day, so I guess folks checked the status of their cards when they were here. In addition, as an observation, we sold a lot of paperback books from our ongoing book sale area that day." Cheryl Chrysla - Aurora Memorial Library
"Count us in for next year!" Dianne Barben - Anna Maria
