Create fun, interactive fundraisers for your Main Street
As you look ahead to the coming year, we hope you will include your Main
Street’s free mobile app in your plans for community events. Many of you
have already seen how easy it is to add your historic and art walking tours
<https://distrx.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=556dfd924ad8c8df2a43f5b60&id=222afe849f&e=34dab9432a>,
and tour participant comments show that your visitors love the ability to
take the tour anytime they like, scroll through historic pictures and
listen to an engaging audio narration. No need for expensive printed maps
and brochures!

Now imagine that same type of engagement with fun, creative events, using
your mobile app to make your visitors active *participants*, using their
own mobile device for a themed scavenger or treasure hunt
<https://distrx.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=556dfd924ad8c8df2a43f5b60&id=deb381c2e1&e=34dab9432a>
with content you control and that you can use again whenever you like. We
call these “*apptivities*”, and they make perfect *“funraiser$”.* Creative
clues lead contestants to participating local merchants. When they arrive
at each business, their phone alerts with directions to perform an action,
answer a question or receive another piece of the puzzle, moving them
closer to the treasure hidden somewhere in your downtown or qualifying them
for a prize drawing. It’s a great way to drive traffic to your merchants
and provides an opportunity to showcase their businesses.

You might choose to use your app for an existing event or create an
*apptivity* completely unique to your community, one that can grow to an
annual event. Consider a *Cupid’s Quest* for Valentine’s Day, a clever St.
Patrick’s Day Leprechaun hiding a pot of gold, solving a *Mystery on Main
Street*, or a search for the legendary *Lost Treasure* of your Main Street.
Whatever backstory you create, participants will enjoy playing the game,
visiting your amazing local merchants and competing to win prizes and other
recognition. Should you choose to charge to participate, your *apptivity*
will be a great interactive *funraiser*, one you can repeat anytime you
like.

Your mobile app is completely free for your Main Street and all of your
local businesses. Adding *apptivities* and walking tours involves a
one-time setup fee, then our technology brings it to life, ensuring
participants physically visit all stops and complete all tasks, providing
Executive Directors a list of participants. Most importantly, a fun
interactive *apptivity* creates powerful word-of-mouth marketing for future
events.

For more information on *apptivities*, *Contact Us
<info at distrx.com?subject=I'm%20interested%20in%20apptivities&body=Please%20send%20info%20on%20apptivities>*,
and let us help you create effective *funraiser$* for your Main Street.
