[OMS_MANAGERS] Open businesses charts

[W Darin Rutledge, Executive Director]

I like the format and presentation, but I’m curious how this information is maintained? Can the business do self-service updates when these data points change? 

We had a couple organizations trying to do the same thing here, but they struggled to maintain the information as restaurants opened for dine in, as retailers added ecommerce, etc. Additionally, they were widely distributed in static formats (like the attachments) that quickly became outdated, yet continued to be referenced. Ultimately, it led to some businesses being frustrated and having to manage functions outside their own digital channels to make sure accurate information was available. 

 

Thanks!
D

Hello All

 

This was an idea from yesterday’s promotion webinar. I wanted to share this idea from Woodstock, VA as I thought it is a great way to promote our restaurants and shopping 

 

Attached are  some ideas   where the Mains Street/downtown/Cities/Chambers can help promote who has online ordering and other services. I especially like second with red trim as it provides a lot of information in one chart and helps level the playing field with large chains and nationals.
