NO 2012 STARS & STRIPES 5K RUN/WALK !!!
DMA has decided it must cancel the 2012 Stars and Stripes 5K Run/Walk. Low runner participation for the past two years has made this event not economically feasible.
Thanks to all DMA members and friends for your past support…we hope the run can return in the future!
It was a balmy spring evening on April 3rd, when leaders of the Duluth Merchants Association encouraged local DMA member businesses to “expose” themselves and their product/services for all the world to see. The show was followed by applause; cameras flashed, and Video cameras rolled. Names and phone numbers were exchanged.
You guessed it! This was the first Duluth Merchants Association Mini Expo. Held at the Duluth Festival Center on the Town Square. DMA member businesses flaunted their goods and services. Eight foot vertical banners framed creative display tables, offering promotional give-a-ways and enticements. Handshakes and business cards flew around the room. The Positive Public Image monitor looped its colorful images and Duluth Patch DMA blogs for the pleasure of entertained and informed guests. Friendships and “Business-ships” were crafted.
Everyone enjoyed tasty Southern delights provided by caterer and DMA member Lynda Alley of Duluth Rexall Grill.
The audience included fellow DMA members, invited and distinguished guests, city officials, and potential new members wanting to get in on the fun. Exhibitors included:
Don’t worry if you missed the gala event. Since it was highly successful, Duluth Merchants Association and friends are planning Expos quarterly. Attendance is open to the public, but you must be a member to exhibit.
Become a DMA member and you too can “expose” yourself and your business for the Duluth Community and all the world to see. Just think, four times a year you’ll have an opportunity to stand side by side with your favorite local business, share business cards, get your picture taken, and bring positive attention to your business. Work on your presentation pitch. Gather your collateral, and get ready to join the fun. It’s good for your business, and good for the local economy.
