IMO, the chains give all business issues to consider. Above all, and they to realize it, is that there is no stretch of real estate like 30-A. It is key to the success of the business on and around it. Individually owned shops and restaurants are what create the look and feel of this community. It is what brought us here to open an art gallery. The chains can't create it so we need to exploit it from a marketing standpoint.
Would it be wise for restaurants and local business to partner and do an annual event so attention is given to 30-A in this regard? Does any business organization currently exist for 30-A business? I realize that Seaside and the bigger developments have large events due to their tourist volume and marketing budgets, but what about the smaller business that flank these larger developments? The Champagne Shopping Tour is the only event I am aware of that shuttles people the entire stretch of 30-A so to see what it offers. Maybe an event with both local business and restaurants intertwined would work?
Each business could possibly team up with an area restaurant to do a tasting. I've always entertained the idea of doing an event with Cafe Tango being that they are across the street.
Marketing Ideas:
Area business could possibly tent their parking lots, bring out the local musicians, and let the flavor of the area be seen and tasted while enjoying perfect weather?
Just thinking aloud. I'm relatively new to the area, has this or anything similar been tried before?
