Visit Cullman debuts official promotional video and announces inaugural Restaurant Week
Summary
Visit Cullman presented the city's first promotional video, launched a community newsletter, and announced a Cullman Restaurant Week kickoff Sept. 10 at the Omniplex.
Visit Cullman unveiled its first official promotional video and outlined a slate of marketing initiatives intended to draw visitors and support local restaurants.
Harmony, a Visit Cullman representative, told the council that the video is intended for social media, advertising campaigns and trade shows and described it as a tool to showcase the city's "Heart of our community and the authentic experiences that make Cullman a destination." She said Visit Cullman is launching a community newsletter and stakeholder portal and invited the public and press to a May 26 press conference at the Cullman Area Chamber of Commerce to preview the kickoff event for an inaugural Cullman Restaurant Week, which will begin with a Sept. 10 Omniplex event.
The presentation emphasized digital storytelling and partnership with local restaurants: Harmony said Cullman Restaurant Week will be an 11-day celebration with participating restaurants offering special menus and incentives to boost visits across the 11-day period. The initiative grew out of a committee formed to support local eateries during a slower week and includes council members among its organizers.
Council members responded with thanks and encouragement; no formal council action or funding decision was recorded during the presentation. The city will host a press conference on May 26 to release materials and promote the program.
