Join a shared local marketing program that gets your downtown business in front of new customers — starting this summer.
Join Free TodayBig-box stores and national chains have marketing budgets that independent businesses simply cannot match. Radio ads, social media, flyers, coupons — expensive and hard to measure. And yet, more people than ever say they want to shop local. They just need a reason to make it happen.
Everything in the standard membership is free. No annual fee, no contracts.
Your business name, description, and offer listed on ShopDowntown.org — visible to anyone searching for local shopping.
Reach the ShopDowntown.org subscriber list of local shoppers who have opted in to support downtown merchants.
Join shared radio spots and online ads when you want more reach — at a fraction of the solo cost.
