For more than a decade, “THE MOOSE IS LOOSE” campaign has been a very successful TWEEDS Fine Furnishings annual tradition in Woodland Park, Colorado, a wonderful small town with views of Pikes Peak. The event goes to a new level – The Moose is “Coming Home Sales Event”.
Woodland Park, CO -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/02/2017 --The dates have been announced for the 17th annual Moose Is Loose campaign – February 11-26, 2017 in Woodland Park, Colorado.
The campaign, started by TWEEDS Fine Furnishings in Woodland Park to drive business for the community, was opened up to all local business owners in 2009. "We launch the campaign each year with many local businesses participating, and it has always been successful," said one of the organizers.
Traditionally February is the slowest time of the year for local businesses, according to local economic development officials.
"Discounts and specials are key to this campaign," said Mike Perini, a campaign representative. "The public will see heavily discounted products and services, giveaways, two for one offers or one-day only deals during the 2017 FEST."
Campaign representatives have been making recommendations to business owners needing assistance. "We conduct sessions with business owners to help individual participants determine a sales strategy tailored to their specific needs."
This year the campaign moves to a new level, i.e. a "Coming Home" format for community wide elements to encourage participation and support. "Meandering America has been great for the Moose," Perini said. "However, nothing is more important than Friends, Family and Friends and he can't wait to see them again."
Moose sightings have become a local favorite pastime and this year many will wait with anticipation for our newest Fest experience –"Moose Sighting (Selfie) Safari". Photos with the Moose or Moose-related items that are uploaded on the Moose Facebook page will be entered into a drawing for a great prize.
