December 22nd - Dec. 31st 2014 .
Along Lazaro Cardenas from the Royal DeCameron to the Footbridge
YOU ARE INVITED TO GET INVOLVED?
Everyone! Individuals, Non-Profit Organizations, Businesses, Church Groups, Artists...
Gather up a team and make the most memorable Recycled Bottle Tree to exhibit along Lazaro Cardenas.
Ask a business if they can host your tree.
7 REASONS TO PARTICIPATE?
1. The bigger and more trees that are exhibited will bring more people from our neighbouring cities/towns helping to boost our local economy
2. An opportunity for Charities and Non-Profits to raise money. Have a donation box at the tree with the story of your charity.
3. Raise awareness on the amount of plastic bottles we use and the importance of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
4. Encourage creativity and giving those a tree who have no budget to buy one.
5. Business owners, utilze this as a marketing and promotional tool. Add your business cards, discount cards. Remember get creative here. Example: A business on the other side of footbridge may want to exhibit a tree
on Lazaro for more exposure and include take-a-way promotional discount cards attached to the tree. (THE IDEAS ARE ENDLESS! for Real Estate offices wanting walk in traffic, restaurants wanting more customers during off hours, boutiques wishing for higher sales.)
6. International attention with sharing on social media. Get Bucerias ON THE MAP!
7. Building community spirit.
Start prepping. Take this down time and utilize it with your staff or friends/family to create a plan. Do you need to start collecting specific items? Do you need to build a base? Can you start making ornaments? Do you know how big your tree will be this year? Will it have lights? Get as much done NOW so you can easily implement in December.
CHECK OUT LAST YEAR'S EVENT BELOW to guide you.
