Economic Development Workshop for Branding Cities, Towns, CommunitiesGet Local Customers to
Spend Money Locally

Jon Schallert's "Destination Business" strategies and tactics are often used by downtown development groups, economic development organizations, and communities around the country.   These organizations are concerned about retail leakage to other communities, and the sales gap that exists between what is spent locally, and what is spent out-of-town. 

Jon's point-of-view is different from every consultant dealing with these issues, in that Jon's 14-point process for reinventing a business into a consumer destination has led to the reinvention of businesses in communities throughout the United States.  Consequently, when Jon shows these organizations how to get local consumers to spend money locally, many cities and towns realize that Jon's proprietary techniques work well for collective retail marketplaces, not just individual businesses.

Jon has presented this session in various locations across the country, receiving high praise for this session from members of the National Main Street Network (a downtown development group associated with the National Trust for Historic Preservation), and the International Downtown Association, IDA.  For a full list of client testimonials, click here.

Attendees will leave with a new understanding of to capture local customers and retain tax dollars locally.

"Economic development conferences typically do not include sessions on independent business reinvention. Yet small businesses, if taught the necessary skills to compete today, can help turn around an economically stagnant area more quickly than any other type of economic investment."
