Items of Note

• The BIA is the only organization marketing the town as a whole, we do not control parking, garbage pickup or any other municipal action item.

• The Board has turned over (all positions including Chair and Vice-Chair) and new Board Members were voted in during the January AGM.

• A substantial change in target market direction has happened, segmenting into three main focus categories: transient, local – on the island, and resident. This strategy and planning drive our marketing plan.

• Many exterior marketing initiatives and events are planned/in progress, offering a different level of outward marketing then we have seen before.

• A refocused look at generating traffic for both goods and service-based business is aimed at residents.

• Additional member communication and interactivity is in the process ensuring complete transparency and initiative/financial knowledge available to all at all times. This includes a fully functional initiative listing visible to all members.

• A comprehensive co-op program has been developed for members to advertise at a discounted rate and includes online, social, billboard, print and sponsorship.
