Committee considers 'Taste of Hudson' event, incentives and social-media campaign to boost outreach
Summary
Members proposed pairing outreach and tenant education with a Taste of Hudson in late August, using food, interactive games, prize raffles and a 'passport' activity to increase turnout and suggested a 30-day social-media clip series to sustain interest.
Committee members brainstormed ways to increase attendance at outreach events, including combining a tenant-rights workshop with a physical community event such as Taste of Hudson.
Suggestions included offering food at an in-person location (Spark Building or an outdoor site), raffles or gift-card prizes, interactive activities (a passport that gets stamped at information stations or bingo), and a short social-media series to sustain engagement. "We could have, like, tenants write bingo or something ... or some kind of game," one Committee member suggested, while another recommended modest prizes such as grocery or ShopRite gift cards to attract participants.
Members discussed timing and logistics and suggested targeting the end of August when people may be available but summer attendance patterns are mixed. The Chair committed to proposing dates and venues and to working with staff to draft an outreach plan tied to the survey and tenant workshop.
