Mathew Pintchik, of Pintchik Hardware store talked about our new Sponsor a Banner Program that is an affordable means of advertising for the businesses on Flatbush Avenue. We  have opend up the program to all our merchants so that they have the  opportunity to purchase 1, 2 or 3 banners instead of the entire set. 

Jay Pelc, from CNG Local, the source for all our Brooklyn newspapers, spoke to the merchants about a cooperative effort the BID is looking into  parternering with the merchants during the holiday season.  Jay told the crowd that they can have the opportunity to advertise their business on a full page ad for as little as $140.00.   

Sharon Davidson, Director of the BID, spoke about a new holiday shopping initiative she is planning for the merchants called “Shop and Dine on Flatbush Avenue“.  On Saturday, December 12 from 2:30pm to 7:30pm the BID plans a full day of activities along the avenue to bring shoppers to our district during the holiday season.  Check our website for further details and how you can be part of our Merchant Discount Coupon package.
