Why Local Community Events are Important Community events are a cornerstone to promote growth, even in Minneapolis. State fairs and national conventions are common examples of large scale events that promote the growth of a geographic location or an organization, including our credit union. Community events offer three major opportunities for economic growth and business interaction. 1) SPONSORSHIPS Sponsors help the event actually happen by being the support that allows the budgeted activities take place. It’s really a win-win for everyone involved because the community gets a great event, the organizers get a bigger budget, and the sponsor is recognized as a major supporter in making something fun happen in the community. 2) TOURISTS/OUTSIDERS Events can generate outside interests from neighboring communities and help introduce people to new areas. It can quickly become a destination for someone that is within driving distance of a particular area. These tourists bring money into the community and can help generate different revenue streams for local businesses. 3) BUSINESS SHOWCASING Businesses are the main focus during these events because there is a large crowd of people wandering around to each vendor seeing and smelling all of the goods and services that are being represented. Local and traveling businesses relish the opportunity to get in front of a large portion of potential customers. Overall, local events are one of the greatest tools to encourage community interaction. They promote local economic growth and business awareness, and the events are often a great attraction for tourists to visit the community and infuse cash.
