Are You Ready for Tourist Season??

Tourist season is "fast-approaching" - have you taken a really hard. objective look at the outside of your business lately? I mean - REALLY take a look at it - like a visiting tourist might. Does the front of your business reflect "pride of ownership" with sparkling, clean windows and a nice paint job? Is your sidewalk swept and free of litter?

Now go in the front door - what do you see? Is your business cluttered and messy? What would you think if you were a visitor and walked through the door for the very first time? Is your merchandise displayed in an attractive manner that makes people want to linger and shop? Perhaps you have a restaurant, a hotel or other "service-type" business. Be objective now - what would make you want to patronize your business - if you were a visiting tourist???

Let's all do our part to make our community successful! We all have an obligation to make Oregon's Bay Area a welcoming place where our tourists want to spend more time - and, let's face it - the more time they spend, the more money they spend. So much can be accomplished if we all work together toward one specific goal. If we show our visitors that we are a community with pride - why wouldn't they want to stay an extra day??
