Open for Business video premiere a success!

First video in ongoing series features Party Source of Eustis

 

Eustis, FL – Eustis has been a leader in the use of the latest trends in technology to market itself and communicate with its residents.  The City took another leap forward with the premiere of a new video titled “Open for Business – Featuring Party Source of Eustis” at the Lake Eustis Area Chamber of Commerce breakfast on the morning of July 14th.    “Open for Business” is an ongoing series of promotional videos for businesses that are members of the Chamber.  The premiere video featured Party Source of Eustis, located at 2910-2 Kurt Street, Eustis, Florida, and was well received by the breakfast attendees.

 

The “Open for Business” project, the first of its kind, is a cooperative effort between the Lake Eustis Area Chamber of Commerce, the local business community, and the City.  The intent of the light-hearted, humorous video series is to promote local business, increase Chamber membership, and to market the city through a series of viral videos.

 

“The spirit of cooperation and support of our local businesses is something we know will attract more businesses and employment to the area.” said Nancy Muenzmay, Executive Director of the Lake Eustis Area Chamber of Commerce and Executive Producer of the “Open for Business” video series. 

 

“It’s a great way to highlight the expertise of our local business people and to show just how much business we do here in the city,” added Tim Totten, City staff member and local business owner.  As the host of the video series, Totten uses humor to tell the story of the featured business and keep viewers entertained.

 

“This project serves to benefit the businesses, the Chamber, and the city as a whole.  We are going to take this unique marketing approach and run with it!” said Rich Hoon, Assistant to the City Manager of Eustis and Director of the video series.  “These videos are quick, inexpensive and fun to make - and we know they will catch on quickly.”

 

The first video can be viewed on Youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5UmtHYIz08, on the Chamber website at www.eustischamber.org,  or on the Chamber’s Facebook page.
