Stimulate local purchasing through pride! Attracting visitors through authenticity and uniqueness! These are just some of the challenges to which territorial marketing seeks to provide solutions. Today, every town, village and commercial thoroughfare must define its own personality if it is to stand out from the crowd. Online commerce, citizen mobility, social networks and large-scale shopping centers have completely changed the way downtown and artery businesses do business. The positioning and development of the Hochelaga district in Montreal’s east end is a great success story. Jimmy Vigneux, speaker, will take a closer look at the strategy implemented in Hochelaga, highlighting the success factors required to develop an effective territorial marketing and community mobilization strategy.
