Visit Annapolis Turns Memories into Cash for Area Businesses
|
|
Visit Annapolis & Anne Arundel County (VAAAC) is on a mission to recognize and help support locals and businesses that hold a special place in the hearts of area residents and visitors.
The organization has kicked off a “Remember When…” campaign that’s designed to capture some of the many memories that are likely to come to mind as more area businesses re-open with the easing of COVID-19 restrictions and residents and visitors begin patronizing some of their favorite haunts once again.
As VAAAC Chairman of the Board Gary Jobson sees it, “This is a great opportunity for people to give a shout-out to the locals and businesses that have made a difference in their lives through their hospitality, their willingness to go the extra mile, their superior service, and more.”
Interested individuals are invited to upload their memories along with a video or image
HERE by June 30. They can provide their favorite business with additional exposure by sharing their story along with a video or image on social media with #RememberWhen, tagging the business and @VisitAnnapolis.

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)
Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"
