BBC Friday 7 June 2019 – Branding Bainbridge, Part 2

This BBC Friday join us for Branding Bainbridge, Part 2. A Business Brainstorming Roundtable. We’ll pick up where we left off last time….  We also have an update on Exciting ideas For Business & “Way-finding” Signage On Bainbridge! (Note: City Signage Info Packet pdf.)

How can Bainbridge become a year-round (off season) event, art, culinary, and recreation destination? How about an annual “Bainbridge Island Rain Festival!” How might the many places, products, and businesses on Bainbridge fashion a unified Island identity? AND how can a new Island business and way-finding signage program fit into development of an Island-wide identity?

What message do we, as a place on Google maps, represent to the outside world, to visitors, to those considering moving their businesses to Bainbridge? Are we as an island looking to our community and regional future with innovation and creativity? 

A Bainbridge Brand should be true to our message: to visitors, businesses, and residents. Once again — one more time — Bring your thoughts, ideas, visions, brains, for a lively Bainbridge Brand Business Strategy Roundtable. (Cf. visitbainbridge.com.)
