Look for families out and about searching for egg clues starting this Saturday, April 9. It's another promotion aimed at driving foot traffic to the BIA district - giving you an opportunity to drive visits with your own marketing efforts.
Please support the Egg Hunt by sharing news about the promotion and / or your participation in it on your social media channels and consider donating items for 'Surprise Inside' eggs (see below for details).
Find downloadable social media graphics for the Egg Hunt HERE and for the Eggstravaganza HERE.
Clues will be posted in a number of windows, taking people on a path through the district and past your businesses.
*Clue locations for this year's route have been selected to represent a variety of business categories and to form a walkable loop. If you didn't get a clue this time - we'll catch you on a future promotion.
Looking for 'Surprise Inside' Prize Items
On Saturday, April 16, the BIA will host an 'Egg'stravaganza at 20 Main St. N. Egg Hunt participants will have a chance to take photos with the Easter Bunny, participate in fun activities, listen to some children's music and kids can submit their ballot to receive an egg. Each egg will include a few chocolate treats as well as a coupon for a child-oriented prize from a Waterdown Village business. The value of prizes will be from a few dollars up to $10 or $15. Egg coupons will drive people to your businesses to redeem prizes / samples or to a prize table, with coupons clearly marked with the business that donated the prize.
We need more prizes. Gift cards. Small toys. Leisure passes. Treats. Even if you don't carry child-oriented products, you might choose to purchase something from another business and have winners pick up the prize from your location to get families through your doors. We're stuffing a lot of eggs - but we don't need a lot of items from any one businesses. If a third of our businesses donate approx. $25 - 50 dollars worth of prizes (3 to 5 prizes/business), we'll fill the eggs and get feet through your doors.
Thanks to the following businesses who've already donated 'Surprise Inside' egg prizes including: Copper Kettle Cafe, Dairy Queen, Jitterbug Cafe, Leyland's British Fine Foods, Pickwick Books, Sleep Net and The Flower Market Waterdown.
