Tuscaloosa and Northport have had shop local campaigns in the past but have just launched new ad formats created by Totalcom Marketing. The ads are in partnership with the Chamber and are fun with a secondary component aimed at educating citizens about how important their dollar is to increasing the local quality of life.
These campaigns are different because they invite retailers and service providers to take part in making them successful by using website banners, social media material, posters, point of sale tents, and bag stuffers.
The City of Tuscaloosa’s campaign is T-Town All The Time. The City of Northport's campaign is Shop Northport, Now.
Get the components mentioned above on our retailers resource pages. Click here for Tuscaloosa and here for Northport. Call 391.0561 for more info.
