Who is being targeted?

The target market is comprised of shoppers who want to keep our community livable and to continue to buy the variety of products and services offered by Bothell businesses.

What is the benefit to our audience?

Research shows that the most compelling and motivating reasons for shopping locally have generally focused on retaining the unique and special character of our hometowns, as opposed to becoming “any-town U.S.A.”. Research also shows non-profits receive greater support from local businesses and locally owned businesses have deeper community roots. The success of Bothell businesses also circulates sales tax dollars back into the local economy which would add to the city’s general budget.
