Prospective Application Form
Please accept my invitation to join the MidTown Business Association! The MBA’s mission is to sustain and enhance the businesses within MidTown Columbus. By joining, you will take an active part in helping MidTown, Inc. unify our business community and prove there is strength in numbers.
Your membership entitles you to joint marketing opportunities including advertisements in our bi-monthly electronic newsletter, The MidTowner, reaching almost 4000 permission-based contacts twice a month, and a link to your company’s information through our MBA directory, housed on the MidTown, Inc. website. The MidTowner deadlines will be sent to your inbox from my email address, bitsy@midtowncolumbusga.org . Be sure to take advantage of that free advertising opportunity!
The MBA markets retail and restaurant businesses through printed promotional brochures. We also make periodic posts on your behalf to our Facebook page, with over 6000 fans. Please notify me if you have something special you’d like to promote! We typically meet quarterly, giving our members a chance to get to know each other and “network”. In December 2018, we produced two short videos featuring appearances of all participating members ($100 participation fee), which we promoted through our social media platforms, along with advertisement spots on WRBL and on WLTZ. This year we have 41 businesses who have agreed to participate, and we are now in the process of creating the content for similar videos to be released in early 2020.
As a member of the association you join other businesses in a vibrant area that is bordered by Talbotton and Warm Springs Roads on the north, I-185 on the east, 10th Avenue on the west, and Martin Luther King Boulevard on the south. Within these borders are eateries with delectable fare, delightfully unique shops, accomplished professionals, and all the necessities of the day-to-day consumer. It’s certainly no secret: MidTown has it all!
Please do not hesitate to call me at 706-494-1663 if you have any questions.
Many, many thanks for making MidTown your business home.
Sincerely,
Bitsy
Bitsy Dedwylder
MidTown Business Association Coordinator
