EXPLORE MILLBURN-SHORT HILLS
IS READY TO PROMOTE
YOU ON SOCIAL MEDIA!
We want to post on social media and feature...YOU!   It's easy as 1, 2, 3:
 
1.  Email a photo/short video to marketing@exploremillburnshorthills.org
2.  Include a brief description
3. Tell us how to tag you
... and repeat! you can send multiple submissions!

Here are some upcoming themes.  And if you have your OWN idea...just send it!  Maybe we build a theme around you:

SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY (11/28) -- Do you have any special offerings/deals?

SHOP LOCAL. SHOP SMALL. -- Tell people why it is better to shop with you! 
 
UNIQUE -- Share something unique.  A product or a service you offer.

PHOTOS FOR FOODIES! -- Whether you prepare the meal, you offer a part of a meal, or you provide the ingredients or tools that make a home cook shine, tell me how you make Millburn-Short Hills the destination!

 
FREE HOLIDAY WINDOW DECORATING
FREE for members of the SID!  Winter-themed artwork will be created by local artist students who will install and remove the decoration.  The goal is to accentuate your own displays to make an impact on shoppers! The windows will be promoted on social media.  Thank you to the Art Advisory Committee, ArteVino and One River School for gathering our artists. The deadline has passed and additional availability may be limited...but it can't hurt to ask!  So contact Marla by Monday at marketing@exploremillburnshorthills.org.

Deadline extended until Monday, so contact Marla at marketing@exploremillburnshorthills.org with your interest.  Then supply a gift item from your business (physical items look good in a basket!) or a gift card--no small promo items please.
