The Deadline for the
Downtown Marquette Newsletter is Fast Approaching!
Fall is upon us as leaves are quickly change color, while the wind turning cooler and more brisk. With all of these changes, our attentions begin to shift to the upcoming holiday season in Downtown Marquette. Trick-or-treating, Ladies Night, Tree Lighting/Holiday Parade, and New Year's Eve Ball Drop combine to bring a vibrant energy to downtown. Capture that audience and share the newsworthy happenings within your business or organization. We'd love to spread the word in the fall/winter issue of the semi-annual Mining Journal supplement and invite you to submit an article for this popular publication. 
Inclusion in the newsletter is available to all retail, restaurants, non-profits, and professional businesses located within Downtown Marquette.
When composing your article, consider such questions as:
  •  Have you recently opened or moved your business? 
  •  Have you undertaken a renovation and/or made improvements? 
  •  Do you have a special activity or event you'd like to promote to the community?
  •  Have you or your employees recently received any awards or certifications?
  •  Are you open late or have you expanded your hours?
  •  Do you feature a new unique product or service?
  •  Do you have any other news you'd like to share? 
Simply share your news with us in an article (300 words or less) and email it in a word document to  Tara@downtownmarquette.org  by  Wednesday, October 23 . You may also submit a captioned photo. Please write articles in the third person perspective rather than first person (using "it" or "they" rather than "we" or "I") for the sake of consistency. Prior editions of the supplement are available at the MDDA office, if you'd like to see a sample publication. The supplement is scheduled for distribution in the Thursday, November 7 issue of the Mining Journal (just a week before Ladies Night, November 14).
    
There is no cost to participate in this newsletter; however, please keep in mind that advertising dollars make the supplement possible and those who place ads will receive priority should space become limited. Details on advertising in this newsletter can be found here.

The supplement is circulated to all Mining Journal customers, with additional copies distributed to surrounding areas and high-traffic locations. What a great way to promote your business, especially during the holidays in Downtown Marquette!
If you have any questions or need assistance with writing an article, don't hesitate to touch base with us. We'd love to help!

Sincerely,
