Struthers to produce videos showcasing local businesses, city will post on social channels
Summary
A staff member announced a new city project to visit and film Struthers businesses for twice-monthly edited videos to be shared on the city's social media and YouTube; interested businesses were asked to contact the city by email as read aloud in the meeting.
A staff member announced that the City of Struthers will produce videos highlighting local businesses and post them on the city’s social media accounts and YouTube channel.
The speaker said the project will involve visiting local businesses to “showcase what they do,” including filming locations, services and owner stories. “We’ll edit the videos twice a month, and we’ll post them on the city's social media and the YouTube channel,” the staff member said.
Why it matters: the effort is intended to promote local commerce by giving businesses free publicity and a regular place in the city's digital channels. The speaker invited interested businesses to join a 2025 production schedule and provided a contact address read aloud during the meeting: “mayorcityofstruther's dot com.”
Details provided during the announcement included a planned cadence of two edited videos per month and that the city team will visit businesses to record their operations and services. The speaker described the project as a way to “spotlight our Strothers businesses and what our city has to offer” and urged collaboration to “make Struthers an even better place to live and work.”
The announcement did not include details about selection criteria, runtime of videos, production costs, or whether any paid advertising or promoted posts will accompany the videos. The meeting record contains no formal vote or directive attached to this announcement; it was presented as an informational item.
Next steps listed by the speaker were for businesses that want to participate to email the contact address read in the meeting. The transcript did not specify a deadline for sign-up or which city office will manage scheduling and production.
