For Public Sphere Week I have decided to do my project on downtown Evansville and try to persuade people to go and see what there is to offer. After spending a week downtown for a recent job training, I was amazed by all the little shops and restaurants that are located downtown that I have never heard of. After talking to several business owners I was informed that the roadways around downtown are often times too hard and confusing for people to use which affects their business. I have decided to join the marketing club at USI to help me persuade people to go and experience what downtown has to offer.
I believe that the best way for me to get my information and findings across would be through a brochure. In the brochure I plan to list several businesses downtown that most people have never heard of and try to persuade them to visit these locations. In these brochures I can include a map and directions that will get visitors right to the location without the fear of driving downtown. Another idea that I have is to display flyers around USI informing students of cool and interesting businesses and restaurants for them to visit. I also hope to distribute some sort of coupon or free treat to the people who visit my table on Public Sphere Week. I am also trying to get a business to donate a free meal of free hair cut that I can raffle off on Public Sphere Week. I will make flyers to hang around USI informing students about the raffle that will take place during Public Sphere Week.
