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!
Next up on The 3/50 Project road show: the delightful town of Darien, Connecticut, where I’ll be speaking at The Darien Library-—a place I’m anxious to see since it’s also the first LEED Gold Certified library in New England (quite an accomplishment). Tomorrow night’s session is free and open to the public:

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…]
