All about us
I was told recently that we don’t sing our own praises enough. So, we did a little video. It’s a bit of fun and I hope you like it. Sorry about my outfit. Check it out here.

Flood support
My email on Friday did not hit the mark in terms of design according to the team(!) but the content was important. I wanted to reiterate the details for flood support for your business.

State Govt is rolling out business support measures for those impacted by the recent floods. If you’re a farmer or producer, go here. The legends at VTIC have a great page that outlines broader support that is on offer. Check it out here.

What’s on this weekend?
Have you got an event, special evening or product you’d like to push? If so, please email the details to our social media guru, Sharon. Think Cup Weekend events and promo’s. . The weekend will be here before you know it, so please send it to us (note, Sharon doesn’t work Fridays so send it through ASAP)!

Give us a prize and get 76,000 eyeballs on your brand
You should hopefully be aware of the work we did a few months back in defining our use customer profiles. These are the people coming to our region and your business. The personas are available here. We are now taking a deep dive and testing our regional brand and personas with our visitors using a brilliant market research company called MyTravelResearch. Those of you who came to our Conference in 2019 might remember the effervescent Carolyn Childs, who presented. MTR is her company. Anyway, to incentivise people on our list to participate in the research, we’d like to offer a prize. If you’d like to give us a prize worth a couple of hundred bucks or more, please email Annissa ASAP on . You’ll get logo exposure and a hyperlink.

Save the date – December 5th
Waaaay back before Covid, we held a little end of year function, to say thanks for your support. We felt that it was time to do this again. Please keep the afternoon of Monday December 5th free. We’ll be putting on drinks and a fun activity. We all deserve it. Details to come.

Christmas Day CFA fundraiser at Cliffy’s
Each year Cliffy’s hosts a Christmas Day fundraiser for our local CFA and this year will be their 4th. On Christmas day they open doors from 9am-12pm with Cliffy’s and Beppe staff, customers and members of the community volunteering their time. All coffee sales and donations go towards our hard-working firies. Last year ticket sales went online (for obvious reasons) and they raised a whopping $17,000 for the local CFA brigades! They are looking for donations for this year – product/money/vouchers – for the raffle on Christmas Day. We know it’s still very difficult for many industries, so if you can help in any way, it would be greatly appreciated. Donors can receive recognition through Cliffy’s and Beppe social media channels, and in the promotion of the event where possible. Online raffle ticket sales start in November.

Simply click on the link below and fill in the form and don’t forget to swing by Cliffy’s on Christmas morning to grab a coffee, have a chat and be part of this wonderful community event! If you have any queries at all, please don’t hesitate to contact Katie at .
