Farragut Businesses Offered Free Holiday Advertising Opportunity

The Town of Farragut will offer the fourth annual "Buy in Farragut" Campaign during the upcoming holiday season! In a tough economy, this campaign offers valuable FREE advertising and publicity for businesses within Town limits during the busiest shopping season of the year.

And it couldn't be easier for your business to become a part of the campaign! Simply visit www.townoffarragut.org to access all the necessary information and forms to register. The deadline to register is Monday, Nov. 2.

You may be asking, "What will I get from this campaign?" Here you go:

• Extensive advertising in the Town's local media (print & radio), government cable channel (Charter & TDS), website (www.townoffarragut.org) and social media sites (Facebook, Twitter and Town Hall blog)
• Weekly specials and coupons featured on the Town's website for four weeks
• High quality, glossy posters to display at your business
• Informational flyers handed out at all Town sponsored events leading up to and during the campaign
• Extra special event permit offered to each business (in addition to the four permits allowed per business during the year)

And, again, this is all completely FREE to you as a Farragut business!

The goals of this campaign are two-fold: to promote and encourage patronage of Farragut businesses and to generate additional sales tax dollars which fund roads, parks and other capital improvement projects within the Town.

Have questions or need more information? Please contact Sue Stuhl (sue.stuhl@townoffarragut.org) or Arleen Higginbotham (arleen.higginbotham@townoffarragut.org) at 966-7057. And don't forget the deadline to register your business is Nov. 2!

Let's Make Farragut Beautiful This Holiday Season

There's no denying the holiday season is one of the best - and most beautiful - times of the year. We all look forward to decorating our homes with trees, garland and lights...and we enjoy the decorations in stores and around our city all season long.

In an effort to truly make our Town as festive as possible, the Farragut Beautification Committee is inviting our local businesses to participate in the annual "Light Up Farragut" program, designed to compliment and expand on the Town's seasonal banners and the "Celebrate the Season" event.

There are many ways to participate in this event - and most can be achieved without breaking the budget! The options include a roof top tree of lights; a tree of lights in front of the business; a roof or store front outlined in lights; or an interior lighted tree that is visible from the street.

We're asking businesses to display these lights beginning Saturday, Nov. 21 through Thursday, Dec. 31 - dates that coincide with the annual "Buy in Farragut" campaign, which encourages holiday patronage within Town limits. The Town's official kick-off to the holidays will be the "Celebrate the Season" event on Thursday, Dec. 3 at the Farragut Town Hall.

If your business is interested in participating, you can contact Chelsey Riemann (chelsey.riemann@townoffarragut.org) or Sue Stuhl (sue.stuhl@townoffarragut.org) by email or at 966-7057 for more information.

Together, let's make Farragut beautiful this holiday season!
