Increased Foot Traffic for your Small Business Webinar on May 28th

5/14/2025

Join us for a FREE webinar on Wednesday, May 28 at 8:30 a.m. to get your business ready for a hot summer season! This webinar is specifically designed for downtown retail and service businesses.

If your downtown business isn’t getting the traffic or sales it deserves, you’re not alone—and you’re not powerless. In this free webinar, business coach and advisor Andrea Hoover will walk you through three key areas where small businesses tend to lose customers—and how to turn that around quickly.

You’ll leave with practical tools, clear examples, and simple actions you can take this week to get more eyes (and feet) on your business. Whether you're a retailer, service provider, or local entrepreneur, this session is designed to help you create better first impressions, convert browsers into buyers, and grow with confidence.

The Monument Square District is hosting its annual Rock the Monument Four Miler run/walk on June 13 at 7:00 p.m. at Melvin Miller Park.

Now in its ninth year, the Four Miler continues to attract new participants from across Ohio—and even one dedicated runner who travels from Kentucky each year. The race route winds through the beautiful park and along a few low-traffic side streets, with some gentle inclines along the way.

This event is perfect as a personal challenge, a friendly competition among co-workers, friends, and families, or simply a fun evening walk or jog. It’s truly family-friendly—strollers and leashed pets are welcome.

Register early on Speedy Feet to receive a race discount. Additional information is available on the Monument Square District website or Facebook page.
