Hello Sheri,

It’s ready!

The long-awaited Street Fairs for Community and Profit<http://bampdx.com/> guide is now available! Pick up your copy today online, at BAMpdx.com<http://bampdx.com/>.

All across America, neighborhood and local merchant associations--looking to raise their profile, create community and generate business—are deciding that holding a Street Fair is a great way to start. In an oft-repeated scenario, a few dedicated volunteers struggle mightily to figure out how to implement this grand idea, reinventing the wheel each time.

A branded identity is crucial for neighborhood retail businesses. Street fairs raise the visibility of a main street as well as build a cohesive community that will ensure their long-term success. Street Fairs for Community and Profit is a guidebook that will help volunteers plan and execute a street fair.
STREET FAIR GUIDEBOOK PROVIDES:
• Organization and coordinator’s tools • Fundraising strategies• Marketing and outreach tips• Relationship-building techniques• Steps to professional event management
The 111 page guidebook provides real-life examples of how to plan and make a street fair profitable. Learn the tips and tools to create enticing activities that gain publicity. Become an expert on partnership building, sponsor engagement, finding low- cost resources and overall event management.



The comprehensive Street Fairs for Community and Profit guide contains six chapters, including: Planning, Volunteers, Fundraising, Production, Marketing, and Activities.

In addition to the book, there is a package of 85 street fair organizing documents, available through my website, BAMpdx.com<http://bampdx.com/>, with useful tools and templates. Whether you are just starting to plan a street fair for the first time or need to simplify and refine your event, the guidebook and template package is a sturdy platform to ensure success!

I am offering a one hour free consultation to those of you who signed up at my session during the conference. Please email or call me to arrange a time.
