Okay sound good okay. We do work i guess im short. Good afternoon, commissioners regina thank you for having us here on behalf of myself were here to present shop and dine in the 49. So here we go perfect so just by ggsd as many of you may know you know last year in november we did a small Pilot Program called shop and dine in the 49 and quickly created a website and we went out and partnered with local merchant and corridors we did a lot of outreach social media and one by one in the corridors to get people to shop and dine in the 49 to enjoy what was local in San Francisco the pilot did incredibly well probably better than expected so were back because is now going to become a yearround program in the Economic Workforce Development were launching a Citywide Campaign it goes without saying the key thing to maintain the local flavor and color of the merchant corridor we encourage people to go there and shop in a twopronged approach within the mayors business to business by San Francisco cadet and second through shop and dine in the 49 a partnership with an between us and others. A little bit about b to b we it launched approximately a month ago we asked Large Businesses and companies if they could support taking 5 percent of theyre spending and shifting it to Small Businesses in San Francisco and went out and found local Small Businesses in San Francisco that actually produce here locally and produce things thats part of initiative. Mary ann would it be easier if i shifted the mike. Did that work oh, perfect so is an opportunity for Small Businesses they go to the webbed and register and then larger businesses when in their looking for something to purchase ill go to that website first again about encouraging local spending and changing peoples habits we have an online policeman sf connect we are doing a lot of events one loss tuesday night invited Small Businesses to meet the larger businesses by meet and greet and calling speed dating we put everyone in the room together and get an opportunity to meet each other as i said were asking businesses to shift 5 percent to small and local businesses. So after shop in the dine in the 49 a collaboration between the Small Businesses and American Express and ill be remiss if i didnt say part of group that San Francisco chamber of commerce, sf city mark drooith and peter from green apple books and creating jobs and henry from the district merchant and displacing i didnt from will noah valley and members of sf made and regina and others so had is to name a few we have the Hotel Council sf travel but our goal we want to have gifts and residents to shop locally in San Francisco whether a restaurant or shore or to experience an event such outlands helping us with our project, of course, is the committee on jobs who commissions a survey conduct by e nc research of 8 hundred and 44 san franciscans it was offered in english and chinese and spanish the demographics are close within that of those who are registered in San Francisco to vote the findings i think are not going to be that surprisingly all san franciscans say shoreline locally is important and long and older residents are especially supportive and most voters agree that locally owned businesses add value and character to San Francisco neighborhoods, however, consequence and location are valued above all else when choosing where to shop i put this slide up here from the actual survey they asked people what does the phrase shop local mean to you as you can see people have a wide range of what it meant in a sense to repeat back to the survey they could say what it meant and articulate that but again, a very broadspectrum of answers what he wanted it shouldnt surprises anyone in San Francisco the jorlt want negotiates so again, this is asking people in you want to shop local what do you want Going Forward that survey helped to inform the work were doing and the work were doing in the neighborhood so we have a website were culdesack in the process of updating a Public Service amusement announcement that was recorded by mayor ed lee and playing on hard rock radio if you go to our website not just to tell a compelling story why to shop local our goal to short merchant so a series of tool kits would be the merchants tool kits we have procreated e created prepopulation hash tags prepopulation social media and create a really great letter from the merchant to his or her employees to ask them to shop local as well the mayor has a letter and encouraging residents City Employees all of us to show will o shop local it as postcards and more importantly thank you cards thats what youll find in the merchant tool kit we believe in our Campaign People have choices they, shop anywhere but if they choose to shop at our store say thank you. Your grateful for your business youll see coming up in november 5, 00 adds an muni buses and local newspaper ads weve been to so many Merchant Groups the council of district merchant and south of market, weve been everywhere and get the feedback from the merchants i want to go back to the tool kit we created one for the Tech Companies wed like them to click on that created a mechanism to outreach their employees to really kind of tell the com pell story of why to shop locally it is important and have one for labor because the San FranciscoLabor Alliance has a Historical Group and lastly youll see three hundred street banners and inform graphics and data that is on our website and again, we dont expect people to get everything in the adds they see their catch and response we want to drive them to businesses and drive them to the website to understand why it is so important to shop local and keep the dollar here even on a charity level if you make a donation to a charitable donations think local first this is not the final artwork as you can see this is what youre see think the buses their iconic and coit tower and the cable cars and each one is absent different the shop and dine in the 49 it is where character meets consequence next those are the examples of one of the banners has been selected example of what the banners will look like and three hundred of them all over San Francisco in every merchant corridor. So were on a fast timeframe lrlg speed and starting november 15th as midnovember look for us as a kickoff in the locals merchant corridor and media in the local newspapers and american column in the examiner and a revamp of our website and in november 2nd campaigns one is a social Media Campaign were asking people to take pictures of themselves shopping locally with the hash tag shop and dina variety of local is one of them and all the locals are doing it so the majority of this kickoff is midnovember youll see the birth part part of the reason were here to tell you about our campaign but get feedback and should have the ideas youd look to see in the campaign i think that is it for me and up next is lynn.
