(You could even make it a Game Day event supporting the local high school or college team). Main Street acquires a few of those little bistro tables that are popular in parks, and you have a quick little coffee and cookies or coffee and doughnuts break on the sidewalk. Go the extra distance—add table coverings, candles, etc. Make it something fun. Inflatable beach balls and those little bottles of bubbles (like from the dollar store—bought in 6 packs) loosen up the stuffiest, gruffest of us all. The sidewalk is filled (even if for just 30 minutes) with people who are having a coffee break…..even roll out some AstroTurf or some outdoor rug (plenty of them can be found at all kinds of places), set up a few pot plants or floral arrangements (that then stay with the business). Great music helps, too, (live or broadcast). Everyone can contribute something….most stuff can be reused for the next event.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Plan this as a 1-month-in-business celebration so it doesn’t conflict with the ribbon cutting, and it gets people back to the business. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This group is so good with promotions…think of it as a mini-promotion….that doesn’t require blocking the streets, hauling trash cans, or worrying if Santa will show up a little buzzed.
