What Will the Chamber Do?

• Provide a sturdy and attractive reusable bag with the Shop Arlington First logo on one side and sponsor logos on the second side.
• Provide a drop-off location for your items and provide assembly of the bags.
• Provide delivery of bags to new homeowners and renters through a variety of channels.

Ideas

• Give a gift.  Everyone loves swag. Instead of just giving them a brochure or a coupon, give them a gift.  An item of value, a small product that you sell, or a promotional product with your logo that represents what you do, will have a lasting effect.
• Get personal.  Write a note that welcomes them to the community and attach it to your bag insert.  
• Bring them into your business.  If you have a physical location, have them come into your business to pick up the gift.  For best results, give them one item in the bag and then have them visit your business for the second item.
