Trolley Tour 2010
THE TROLLEY TOUR’s of the Lawrenceville Community are back.
This information is currently for local business owners, but please, if you have any suggestions as someone who rode the trolley last year, or with interest for this year, please let us know.
Come join us again this year as we ride through the streets and neighborhoods of the Lawrenceville Community. This is a positive investment in Lawrenceville community involvement. This will benefit Local Businesses, Residents and Real Estate within our community. We are putting this event together to be proactive in this economy and not only SURVIVE this economic downturn but THRIVE in it. The only way do this is to be proactive yourself. We hope you will see the positive impact this idea will have in our community. We are open to suggestion, comments and questions. Here how it works, TENATIVELY (always subject to change)!
Starting April 4th 2010 through June 27th 2010, the Trolley will run Tours on Sunday’s through Lawrenceville and Scheduled Open Houses throughout our Community. That is a total of thirteen (13) consecutive Sundays. We are very pleased to have life-long resident and Lawrenceville’s Local Honorary Historian (Awarded in 2009 by Mayor Millsaps) Mary Long as our Trolley Tour Guide. Each tour we will highlight Lawrenceville Square, the parks, historic graveyards, the businesses and some of the rich community history. We will have Realtors, Builders and Developers who will have their homes open for those Sunday’s as well. All the homes will be within the City Limits of Lawrenceville. We have two (2) Trolleys’ this year. Each Trolley holds approximately 30 people at a time. We would like to have 4 scheduled tours in that day. The tours will start at 1pm and run every hour until 5pm, the last tour starting at 4pm. We have already had several local businesses, Realtors and Developers and of course the Trolley Guy ready to make this project a GO and a WIN for the Lawrenceville Community. We have also had suggestions (which will develop) of creating events on the square specifically for the tour. This is great opportunity for your involvement in our community and to promote your business.
The actual Tour will be FREE to those riding the Trolley each Sunday. Each guest on the Trolley will get a “goody bag” with Local Business marketing materials, coupons, business cards, etc. when they get off the Trolley. This will be approximately 120 goody bags each week for 13 weeks. We will also have a banner on both sides of both Trolley’s with the “Qualified” Sponsors Logo’s displayed. Local television media and print media already want to do stories on the positive approach to this idea. So there is a possibility of your business getting additional exposure to other communities as well. As we progress with the idea there will be other ways for us to market the idea and promote it with and without cost. There are several free internet marketing and networking opportunities to get this event out to various communities.
Interested in being a sponsor?
So, you are excited now and want to know the most important thing, the cost! Are you ready? $10.00 per week! That is it! If you pay for the whole 13 weeks ($130.00) up front, than you will have the opportunity of being included in the banner display on both sides of the Trolley. The banner will be an additional expense but depending on how many “Qualified” (those who pay 13 weeks in advance) business it will be divided equally. So, that is it! We hope you are interested and would like to participate.
For more information or if you are interested in becoming a sponsor, please e-mail Rodney Camren – rodney@newlawrenceville.com or call him on 404-375-1496. We look forward to hearing from you!
