Response 3: <br />Measuring Results* <br />Describe how yqu rlill promole you. event/activitylfacility to attrael tourists. <br />We plan to use multiple ways to attract tourists. Paid advertising on Kittitas and <br />Yakima radio stations, design and distribute posters and flyers, place paid ads on <br />our social media platforms and keep our website updated with Memorial Day <br />Celebration activities. The comnrittee works iogether to distribute information on the <br />Memorial Day Celebration. From Snoqualmie Pass to Ellensburg, pnnt flyers and <br />posters are placed in as many locations as we can possibly put them. We print small <br />postcards that are distributed event to lodging locations sc that their guests are <br />given them when they check-in. lnformation on the Easton Memorial Day <br />Celebration is posted on Discover Cle Elum, Kittitas County Chamber of Commerce, <br />Easton School District, Easton Fire Department, and multiple Facebook pages. This <br />has provided a tremendous amount of free promotion. We plan to continue with <br />these partnerships and look for additional ones that can help promote to a larger <br />audience. <br />This year through a generous donation, we will be able to update our website and <br />make it more inieractive to visitors. For thirty-one years our event materials have <br />been either hand made or designed by committee members using limited <br />knowledge. This year we are updating our publicity by adding additional funds in our <br />Memorial Day Celebration budget to receive help with our publicity and event <br />promotion. lt is time for us to identify and adopt some new or expanded ways in <br />which we can promote this wonderful celebration. We recognize that in the two years <br />since our event has occurred, there are new tips and ways to attracl visitors and <br />tourists. A lot of these changes align to online marketing and social media tools, <br />such as geofencing, lnstagram, paid advertising, YouTube and increasing our co- <br />marketing with local partners to obtain help in sharing aboltt our ev€nt. <br />2500 character lirnit <br />Application Questions.
