<p><strong>Welcome to EDC eNews, a monthly e-mail update of business news in Glen Ellyn produced by the Glen Ellyn Economic Development Corporation.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Successful “Shop Glen Ellyn First” Campaign Brings Customers to Downtown</strong></p>
<p>The “Shop Glen Ellyn First” campaign sponsored by the EDC is exceeding response expectations for direct mail marketing.  A dining incentive was offered in two mailings sent out in early and late winter.  The offer brought customers to the downtown and into 11 participating restaurants.  The typical 1-2% response rate cited by Direct Mail authorities for a first time mailing was surpassed by the early winter postcard which had a 3% return.  Success for follow up mailings is typically measured by a response in the range of 1-3%.  The late winter “Shop Glen Ellyn First” mailing exceeded expectations again with a 4.6% response and 92 postcards presented at participating restaurants.</p>
<p><strong>Many thanks to our local restaurants for participating in the dining offer and helping to bring customers into the downtown: </strong></p>
<p>Bells &amp; Whistles Snackery</p>
<p>Shannon’s Irish Pub</p>
<p>Bistro Monet</p>

<p><strong>Sunday Shopping Incentive Good Through April </strong></p>
