I find the personal touch of an office visit works best.  It shows you care.  Eddie Nelson Dallas Downtown Association.

Hello,

The Coos Bay Downtown Association is brainstorming ways to increase our membership. This past year we increased it by 30% and we want to continue that trend. That was mostly due to me doing office visits every week to try to get new members. We are wondering what other types of membership campaigns other downtowns have done to increase their membership. Letter writing, events, what is working? Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks,
Holly
