Neighborhood party ?

[sparkerauto]

So I have been in business for almost three years, my shop is located in the city but in an area that is almost like a little town. My shop is set back in the back so people can't really see it from the street. I still get I never new you guys were here I have been living in the neighborhood for years. So I was thinking at the beginning of the summer doing some type of party, we have a lot of kids in the area so maybe something fun for them and also raise money for a charity ? Just to get people in the area together and then get our name out there. Has anyone done anything like this ? How has it worked out ? Thanks for the input !

I think its a great idea! Having any type of event just shows you want to be involved with the community. We had our one-year anniversary party a couple months ago and it was so huge.

 

Some things that I think made it a success that might help for yours:

1. Free food: this was a pretty big expense because we had it catered but people just like free food so BBQ with burgers is always easy
2. Games: we had raffles and a drift trike autox setup --perfect for adults AND kids
3. Hype: our event was hyped up all over the internet. But I think since your event is more geared towards the neighborhood, I would hand out fliers
4. We didnt do charity but this is always a good idea.
