Why Become a Downtown Business?
The Downtown Business Improvement Area (BIA) offers a great amount of support to our member businesses in a variety of ways including promotion in both direct and indirect ways.
We create various promotions and marketing materials that lead people to your business eg. print ads, our website, directors, ad campaigns, videos, social media and more. The Downtown BIA keeps the community informed of the great businesses downtown.
The BIA hosts and actively supports events that take place in Downtown Bracebridge. Businesses have an opportunity to be included in events, maximizing their exposure. Whether you choose to sponsor gifts or prizes, or participate directly in an event, you will have many opportunities to get your name out to the community. The events benefit all businesses downtown, regardless of participation. Brining traffic and culture to the downtown core allows more people to consider shopping, dining and entertainment in Downtown Bracebridge.
With an interest in downtown revitalization and beautification, the BIA is always working to create spaces that people can enjoy and congregate in. Streetscaping and decorating improvements to public spaces have helped to make Downtown Bracebridge a desirable place to visit.
