“The Red Mile™” project was conceived to be a long-term legacy project that will forever immortalize the 17th Avenue SW business district from McLeod Trail to 15th Street SW as a vibrant tourist destination as recognizable as Robson Street in Vancouver or Times Square in New York.Calgary, until now, lacked a “catchy” area that tourists ask about upon arrival to our great city. Given the Flames continued success since 2004, and the exposure “The Red Mile™” received in the media both locally and internationally, we are working to assist local businesses in capitalizing on this unique brand recognition. Phase One involves listing every business in a searchable on-line directory, either by category or by name, so that newcomers can easily find what they are looking for along the now-famous strip. Phase Two calls for massive promotions and awareness campaigns during key tourist events such as the Calgary Stampede, business conventions, conferences, and international tradeshows. Visit the Tradeshows link to view upcoming events at the Stampede grounds, located at the start of The Red Mile™, which draw hundreds of thousands of visitors annually to the area. We will work with local merchants to hand out promotional cards during the coming months to drive traffic to the website and the business area. Phase Three envisions “Red Pages” directories in local hotels, the airport, taxi cabs, and other venues where visitors gather. We will network with other web portals, search engines, tourism boards throughout the world, the AMA, etc. to drive traffic to this area. Phase Four dreams about street signs welcoming visitors to “The Red Mile™” district, which could become the “walk of champions” for all of Calgary’s successful sports teams, not just the Flames, now and for years to come. Other ideas are conceptualized but we need to keep something back for the future, don’t we? |
