Downtown Traverse City Offers Reusable Bags

Merchants Go Green Downtown

A reusable bag program has been introduced in Downtown Traverse City. The reusable shopping bags are 16” x 20” and offered at a cost of $1 per bag. “Downtown Traverse City has made a conscious effort toward our community and preserving our environment by recycling, reducing and now reusing. Like many others, we are happy to offer reusable bags to reduce waste in our community,” says Colleen Paveglio, DDA Marketing Director.

The Downtown Reusable Bag program is sponsored by the over 150 merchants, restaurants and businesses who are members of the Downtown Traverse City Association. For more information, call the DTCA office at (231) 922-2050 or visit www.downtowntc.com.

Mealtickets Opens the Door to Hotel Advertising on the Web

With the renovation of the website Meal Tickets & Unusual Ideas® will finally offer advertising opportunities to area resorts. The unique card displays have always featured restaurants, activities and destinations in an effort to provide visitors with a great selection when they arrive in the area. But what about when they are planning their trip? One of the goals for the new website is to provide potential Traverse Area visitors with information before they arrive. And possibly the first decision they make is where to stay.

The new website provides area hotels, motels, and resorts of all sizes the opportunity to advertise with a banner ad on Mealtickets.com. When placed, an ad will appear on several pages throughout the site, thus increasing the exposure. More than 70 locations already receive advertising exposure on the website within the lodging listing. The banner ads will increase their visibilty and allow for the promotion of seasonal packages or special rates.

For more information on advertising with Meal Tickets & Unusual Ideas® visit the Advertise with Us page or call 231.275.6105.
