Vancouver, Canada February 2010
 South
Granville Umbrellas Are Back!
Who
South Granville Merchants, Business Owners, Managers, Employees.
What
With the help of your South Granville Business Improvement Association, the South Granville shopping district is once again bringing hospitality back to customer service! As we approach the rainy season, your BIA will re-launch this promotional campaign to help keep your customers warm and dry. Each business in the South Granville business district will have the opportunity to provide their customers with umbrellas to use while they shop and conduct their business on South Granville. This campaign helps to promote and put more of a spotlight on the high level of customer service associated with South Granville.
Where
This campaign will encompass the eleven blocks of the South Granville Business District.
When
Launch Date - January 8th, 2010
How
For those South Granville businesses who wish to participate, the first supply of umbrellas will be delivered to you (number depending on the size of the business) starting Thursday January 7th.
Customers and clients will be encouraged to use the umbrellas while they shop South Granville. For example, as a customer leaves your business they will see your umbrella stand holding the new South Granville umbrellas. When it is raining, your customers will be encouraged to use a South Granville umbrella between businesses. When they enter the next business, they will simply deposit the umbrella in that business’ umbrella stand. The umbrellas will naturally circulate throughout the South Granville business community.
If you want to actively participate in this campaign, please contact:

British Columbia is a world-class tourist destination and with
that Vancouver has consistently ranked among the top ten cities
in the world to visit. In 2006 more than 8.6 million people
visited Greater Vancouver, spending more than 4.6 billion dollars.
Vancouver continues to receive international exposure as host
city of the 2010 Olympic Games and this provides huge potential
for further development of tourism in Vancouver.
As your BIA we are continually looking for ways to market and
promote South Granville to the Tourism market. Each year, thousands
of tourists shop, dine and spend time in Vancouver and we want
to be sure they know about and are made aware of the great businesses
that make up South Granville. Many of these visitors are guided
to the places they frequent by Hotel Concierge Staff and Guest
Services personnel.
 We
want to be sure that South Granville is top-of-mind for this
important group of people who influence tourists to visit
certain destinations. Concierge Tours directly target this
group and in turn the tourism industry in Vancouver. Since
the Spring of 2008, the restaurants and shops of South Granville
have been and will continue to host Vancouver's key concierge
staff in "South Granville Concierge Tours" of the area.
These tours will be marketed to local Hotel Concierge Staff
and Guest Services personnel, inviting them to be part of
these events which will take them into businesses registered
for the tours for a meet-and-greet, to find out more about
each business, to find out more about the products and services
these businesses offer and sample products and services.
Each tour usually lasts for approximately 2 to 3 hours and
ends with a networking reception at a local restaurant, lounge
or in a business on the tour.
Businesses who wish to participate and be included in upcoming
tours will need to register their participation in advance
and pay a small registration fee. This registration fee will
collectively off-set the costs of organizing the tour, hosting
the tour and bringing our tour guests to South Granville.
If you are interested in participating in future tours, check
back for more information to be posted here as future tours
are developed or contact Sharon
at the BIA office to let her know you are interested in
participating.
