Connecting with the owners of your neighborhood shops and restaurants is essential to business retention. Keeping local merchants involved and active in the community results in fewer vacancies, more expansion and higher sales tax dollars. Findzall provides strategies to reach out to members of your shopping district to educate them, keep them up to date on meetings and events and increase participation. We review your current retention plan and provide a checklist of improvements that will strengthen your local business district and save valuable time.

Findzall supports your downtown business district or neighborhood organization with:

• A web site content analysis.
• A web based directory assuring that all shops and restaurants can be found with state of the art content design and maps with enhanced search engine technology.
• A "Members Only" section of the web site that includes volunteer opportunities, meeting dates, marketing and events information and education that is meant only for the local business owners.
• A new business information/marketing package containing everything a shop owner needs to launch their business in your community and make it a success.
• A listing for each member on popular search engines and review sites.
• A business visitation program with a checklist of questions to ask, volunteer opportunities and electronic surveys.
• Shopper Attraction strategies including an Email Marketing Campaign, a Shop Local Campaign and frequent shopper programs to strengthen member commerce.
• Creation of a reward for business owners/employees who refer a new business lead that results in a signed lease.
• An annual meeting checklist designed to plan an engaging event that will motivate and inform.
