First Merchants' Meetup Recap

Last Thursday, we had our FIRST Merchants' Meetup for businesses west of Morningside! Discussion was very positive and productive, and we are all very excited to continue the work we started! Special thanks to ECDO, Rite Check, Duane Reade, and Amalgamated Bank for coming out! Some items we discussed were:

• Work accomplished thus far and what will follow
• Results of Needs Assessment survey and additional needs that businesses have
• Next steps for improving the community and helping businesses in area better promote themselves to clientele, including:
  • Major promotion idea for Fiscal Year 2014
  • Communicating better with target clientele and how the BID can help to promote business

If you are a business on 125th Street west of Morningside and weren't able to attend last week's meeting-- the bad news is you missed an awesome meeting. But the good news is that the next one is June 18th, and we hope you're able to attend!
