Chamber of Commerce
Continues to Promote Tourism in Pike County
|
|
With summer just around the corner, everyone is ready to start traveling. The Pike County Chamber of Commerce is working on bringing them to Pike County.
Chandler Grooms, Tourism Development Director, is excited with the progress that has been made so far with Visit Pike County, the Chamber’s new Destination Marketing Organization. “Our goal since day one has been to bring more positive publicity to Pike County and all of our great local businesses and attractions. And we knew the quickest and most efficient way to make that happen was through social media.”
The Visit Pike County Facebook page has been promoting Pike County, events, attractions, and more for a little over 2 months. In that time, they have reached an audience of over 67,000 people and increased page followers by over 700 people. Two regular features of the new Facebook page are “Travel Tuesdays” and the “Friday Flavor.” Every Tuesday, Visit Pike County features a different local attraction, place to see, or thing to do. Every Friday is an opportunity to feature local food, restaurants, coffee shops, produce stands and food-filled events...
