A big high five to the folks at KDAF-TV in Dallas for the great piece about The 3/50 Project. Every voice out there counts!
For those of you wondering what brochure the reporter is talking about at the end of the piece, that’s actually the bookmark, available on the Resources page of our site. They print 3-up on 8.5 x 11 card stock, and are perfect for adding your store name, address, hours, etc. to the back.
And to the Bishop Arts District retailers: You’ve got a seriously neat gem on your hands. Here’s hoping that more of your neighbors hear about the Project, jump on board, and keep the brick and mortar love flowing…. Thanks for all you do, day in and day out!
Betsy Swango and Susan Foxworth are arguably two of the most respected stationery and gift retailers in the country, both by consumers and suppliers. Their store, Write Selection, consistently ranks among the top accounts with numerous vendors; you’d be hard pressed to find retailers who are more responsible, honest, and high integrity than these two.
Yet even they have had to deal with the same bone crushing slow months everyone else has. No one is immune. [click here to continue…]
I gotta tell you, if this doesn’t fire up a few folks to get their local community development groups and Chambers behind The 3/50 Project, nothing will. See those counter top signs being carted around town for use in the local businesses? MidTown, Inc., the business association in Columbus, Georgia, took it upon themselves to have these made, knowing that a city-wide campaign could only have positive impact.
I applaud their efforts, and hope other business organizations will follow suit. C’mon…what do you have to lose (other than a few tax paying local independents if you just sit back and do nothing)?
Thanks to the folks at WTVM (ABC) for doing the story justice. Good job!
I adore you. I appreciate you. I rely on you to help my “baby,” The 3/50 Project, grow and prosper. Thanks to your generosity of time, energy, ink, and airtime, we continue to see record growth for a grass roots message that touches us all.
Okay. Alright. You did it. You managed to get one or more of the local media outlets to do a story about The 3/50 Project, and they’re headed your way. So….now what? How the heck do you assure the accuracy of the story while putting your best foot forward? [click here to continue…]
Quite often, business owners ask how they can get local media to cover The 3/50 Project, knowing that greater consumers awareness equals greater success. While there’s no silver bullet when it comes to snagging coverage (every media outlet is different, with all sorts of personalities and nuances), there are a few things you can do to improve the odds. The important thing to remember is that if they don’t know about the story, they can’t cover it…which is where you come in. [click here to continue…]
Yet another great piece about The 3/50 Project, this time from our friends at WSAW-TV, the CBS affiliate in Wausau, Wisconsin. Big high five, folks; Wisconsin is really on board, with both feet!

Thanks to Atlanta’s NBC affiliate, WXIA-TV, for introducing their viewers to The 3/50 Project. Just a couple of hiccups to contend with so none of you fine media folks inadvertently wander down the same paths:
• If you’re covering the story, please don’t add the word “slash” to the middle of our name. It’s pronounced “three fifty,” not “three slash fifty.”
• The $42.6 billion dollars in revenue is annual, not monthly.
• Please don’t round the 68 and 43 numbers up; they’re good on their own.
• Also…please be sure to mention our web address: the350project.net since that’s home base for information, tools, and the list of businesses participating in the Project.
Don’t get me wrong…I really, really, really appreciate the piece and the great coverage for local businesses. Just want to be sure the info out there is accurate.
