These methods include zip code tracking. direct counts. and informal surveys. <br />This past year we added a zip code tool to our event cards which has allowed us to <br />track a percentage of travelers attending events and activities. This meihod has <br />allowed us to validate that our events are attracting visitors from greater ihan 50 <br />miles in distance. We have also been able to validate that tourists from outside of <br />the State of Washington and even the United Siates are stopping and exploring Cle <br />Elum. <br />Our direct count methods include conducting walking counts throughout our events. <br />This is occurring at leasi every half hour out at locations where events are being <br />held. We also ask retail partners to help keep track by counting shoppers in their <br />businesses. <br />Additionally, we measure our results through Google analytics, registration forms. <br />and social media reports on ads placed and engagements. We will also be adding <br />data from our new website which will feature as our hub for communication. <br />Stafiing in 2022, we will be adding an inforrnal survey to our marketing materials, <br />asking participants whether they are lodging overnight during their experience at our <br />events. At this time. it is hard to collect data directly from our hotels, this process will <br />allow for a sanrpling of findings in relation to lodging. <br />2500 character lirtit <br />8l Funding <br />Does your organization have. or have you applied for, grant fundrng from other sources? lf not, why not? lf yes, please list <br />the funding you have for the project, including any volunteer and in-kind sources in Question 9l Project Budget <br />Overview. <br />Funding sources and amounts which have not yet been secured will be listed separately, in the field(s) directly below. <br />Finally, what changes would occur if the project couldn't be funded? <br />Other Funding*Does your organization have, or have you appliec.l for funditlg trom ollrer sources? <br />Yes ,No <br />Funding for which you have applied but not yet secured
