Supporting Our Locals Corner

Summertime Support is the Best of All
Supporting our locals is important any time of year, but especially so in summer when tourism business has slowed. Local restaurants and shops alike will appreciate the support since getting through the doldrums of summer can often be challenging. Shopping local is also more convenient, less driving (remember gas prices), and helps foster relationships with local businesses, too.
Everyone wins!
Let's Shop Local!
Local merchants…You’re the BEST and we love you!

Summer Seeding
for the Future
Low season has returned and we suspect this summer might be a bit busier for Cave Creek than in previous years. This year, the economy and higher gas prices might be keeping Valley residents and Stay-cationers close to home and looking for something local to do. What more perfect a nearby place for them to visit than Cave Creek!
The possible increased volume of visitors in town this summer, however, still won’t be the same as in high season. This presents businesses with opportunities to use the slower pace as time for seeding the business for additional future growth and success. Here are four suggestions that may talk specifically to you.
1) Revamp Your Business Strategy: Slowing down opens up time to sit back with a cold drink and be creative with your business plan. Whether remodeling, redesigning, or financial planning, here’s the time to toss around fun ideas for next season that might invite new interest in your business and ultimately create more revenue.
2) A Special Event with a Local Non-profit: Partnering for a one-time summer event with a local non-profit could be a win-win situation. Brain storm together on a joint venture for a fun event. Then, both work together at getting out recurring blasts on local social media as an inexpensive way to get the word out to residents in the Valley. The event will help out the non-profit and is an excellent way for you to give back to the community. For your shop, the event can mean additional summer business and the possibilities of return new customers. According to a 2017 survey from Cone Communications, 87% of consumers will purchase a product because a company advocated for a cause they cared about.
3) Locals We Luv You Day: Local and area residents can sometimes make the difference whether a business will sink or swim during summer months. Finding ways to invite them to stop in can support them as they support you. Perhaps choose one day per week when locals rein at your establishment. Some ideas might be to offer an inviting discount on their day, or an enticing raffle only for locals, or free item, or - even all of these. Your local customers will be appreciative, they will return, and perhaps you’ve earned a forever new customer, as well.
4) Kids!: During summer months, parents go crazy thinking of interesting ways to entertain their kids. Can you think of a one-day clever idea or activity or workshop that focuses on kids? Wouldn’t it be great if this activity hi-lighted what your establishment is best known for? Remember, kids can’t drive so they come with parents and it’s the parents who will get to know and love your establishment for future returns. A one-day kids’ event will help get the word out about how great your place is.
So, did one of those suggestions bite you? Are you inspired? Fantastic! Seeding business during summer helps to cultivate more business all year long. Remember, too, that working together with other local merchants and non-profits makes the idea even more powerful. And, don’t forget - let the Cave Creek Corner help spread the word for you.
Happy Summer!

Greetings from Marshal Stein,
June is already here and it is hot. We have had more than our fair share of RED FLAG WARNINGS last month. Please remember - NO SPARK GENERATING ACTIVITIES outside during Red Flag Warnings. Almost every year, Cave Creek has to respond to some type of fire from FIREWORKS. I am sorry to say that “common” sense may not be so common as it pertains to people and Fireworks. RED FLAG WARNINGS PROHIBIT ALL FIREWORKS. Please refrain from any spark generating activities outside during Red Flag Warnings.
We are getting some calls on LOUD MUSIC once again. Please be kind to your neighbors and limit LOUD music to reasonable levels and reasonable times.
As the heat gets hotter and hotter, we are seeing more and more calls for people not hydrating properly. Please re-think hiking during excessive heat days. Remember not to keep animals in your vehicles during summer while you run into a business for “just a minute.” Your vehicles heat up quickly and it places animals at risk.
I wish you all a Happy and a safe summer.
Stay safe!
Marshal Stein

Getting "Desert" Creative
in the Kitchen
Now you can learn how to get creative with various desert foods in easy-to-follow recipes for your restaurant or your own kitchen. You will be amazed how many foods the desert provides for us that you can eat right off the plant when hiking from spring through fall.
This collection of recipes from the Desert Awareness Committee members includes a majority of prickly pear recipes along with methods of harvesting and preparing the juice. Additional recipes utilizing the mesquite seed pods offer a variety of delicious ways to enjoy its sweetness. Other cactus fruits and buds, berries from our bushes and seeds from our trees offer tastes of the desert to explore as we appreciate these plants for being here to enjoy and nourish.
Contact the Desert Awareness Committee (480-488-1090) if you would like more information on the desert's edible plants and this cookbook too.

The Cave Creek Tourism Bureau
Summer Hours
We're back to that time of year when things slow down in our little town. With this slowing of visitor traffic, our Cave Creek Tourism Bureau (CCTB) has reverted to its summer hours of Fri-Sun from 10am-2pm. Please keep this in mind. Businesses, this is the time to restock your fliers for the next season. Residents, this is the perfect time to stop in, say hello, and visit for awhile with our friendly volunteers.
Speaking of volunteers,..we always welcome new members to our tourism bureau volunteer team. You're the friendly type? You love Cave Creek? You're looking for a darned good reason to escape household chores? The CCTB is for YOU! Summer is the best time to start volunteering and learn "the ropes" while things are slow. Come by and see what it's all about. Promise -You'll like it.
