As a major corridor that spans 11 neighborhoods Girard
Avenue is more then a community center, it is a cultural center, an
economic engine that creates jobs and helps to improve the quality of
life of tens of thousands of people.
By encouraging the exploration and local purchases
on Girard Avenue GCI is able to greatly enhance the communities it
services.
To do this the Girard Coalition, Inc. develops buy
local marketing campaigns, assists business associations in promoting
their events, and aids businesses along the corridor in getting the
word out about themselves.
Examples of what we've done:
Girard East-The
Girard Coalition, Inc. created a Co-Op marketing organization for the
numerous alternative and natural health care business located along
East Girard Avenue. Already the co-op has been an important tool for
helping these businesses to promote their services throughout the
region.
Love on Girard-GCI organized and did the foot work
to put together the event that became a destination known as Love on
Girard.
Shad Fest-The Shad Festival is a major event put on by the Fishtown Business Association and Penn Treaty Park that drew
thousands of people from all over the Greater Philadelphia area making
it one of the most successful events of its kind. GCI did design work
and ran an online marketing campaign to promote this event.
