Economic Development Services

Economic development creates opportunities through programs, initiatives, and outcomes to build stronger, more sustainable communities and a better quality of life for all.

In a competitive marketplace, it is crucial to differentiate, position and promote a region to attract new businesses and encourage investment. Marketing can do this by changing perceptions, promoting initiatives, and building consensus for current and future programs. Marketing can be your voice and deliver your message.

Eastwick Marketing recognizes the challenges inherent in helping communities maximize opportunities and leverage resources. Our staff has a unique skill set that brings value to every client with insights in revitalization and redevelopment initiatives. We analyze the core elements of communities and down towns, evaluating historic and cultural assets, assessing other amenities, and appraising strengths and weaknesses to determine appropriate strategies and tactics needed to retain and attract the right kind of businesses. We also understand the alphabet soup of economic development (be it EDC, TIF, IDA, or BID) and can translate them into resources.

Our collaborative and inclusive approach with stakeholders, audiences and constituencies moves agendas forward; we can help you navigate these sometimes turbulent waters.

A Main Street is critical to a community’s health and marketing is a lynchpin for its success. Local and regional governments and non-government agencies will benefit from marketing to build awareness and stakeholder support of new initiatives or projects. Eastwick Marketing can help your organization change perceptions, fill empty storefronts, and generate foot traffic for merchants. We can provide assistance in attracting new businesses, planning events, and establishing partnerships. Eastwick even offers classes for retailers to teach the basics of consumer promotions. We have been certified in the Main Street Manager program through the National Historic Trust since 2001.
