Celebrating 30 years of Trader Joe’s in Pacific Grove!
The Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce is really good at celebrating businesses in our community with ribbon cuttings, be they for a grand openings or major milestones like the one Trader Joe’s celebrated — 30 years of being in Pacific Grove! I learned the mural painted on the front of Trader Joe’s, 30 years ago, was to show other things for people to check out in Pacific Grove and give them a reason to stay in town longer, as this was the first Trader Joe’s in the area. PG beat out Seaside to get it largely because it had a better building available for it to move into. It’s so interesting how things like that happen and change how a small town changes because of it.
Write Invite pops up in The Quill in Pacific Grove
Huge turnout for this ribbon cuttingevent to celebrate the opening of Write Invite in The Quill right in downtown Pacific Grove put on by the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce. The community really turned out to celebrate Marian and even the mayor of Pacific Grove helped cut the ribbon! It was truly standing room only. If you like to feel the paper, then Write Invite is the only place around you can come in person to do so in the area for invitations and cards for the holidays, for your wedding, for just saying thank you.
Promoting Pacific Grove for the PG Chamber featuring Red House Cafe
Continuing with the series of local business social media videos I made for The Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce, this time the video shows local favorite restaurant, Red House Cafe. Also seen again are Jazmyn and CC as they check out the restaurant, order, and enjoy the meals they chose in the very cozy and comfortable atmosphere of the Red House Cafe, with working fireplace no less! Thank you to all involved in helping me shoot and record this video at Red House Cafe.
Marketing Video for Pacific Grove Golf Links with the PG Chamber
The next video in my series of making social media marketing videos for the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce features the Pacific Grove Golf Links. This golf course has views of Monterey Bay and the Pacific Ocean and does have wildlife encounters possible right on course, which we experienced with a deer acting like a min-golf course obstacle on one of the early holes! Recording video on the course, even from a moving golf cart, was a lot of fun and the sun was out making it a beautiful day on the links. Thank you to Jazmyn and CC for their great acting and playing, and for the PG Chamber for choosing me as their videographer for this series of branding and marketing videos showcasing the many great things about Pacific Grove!
Promoting Pacific Grove with the PG Chamber featuring il vecchio restaurant
The Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce president contacted me about a video project they wanted to do, asap, and fortunately, my schedule could fit in a two day video shoot at no less than 9 locations! Good thing Pacific Grove is also small and compact, so highlighting restaurants, experiences, and just the beauty of the area at some many different places was possible, and it also helped that Jazmyn and CC were pros in front of the camera letting me work creatively and efficiently everywhere we went.
New Member Orientation with the PG Chamber was a huge meet and greet!
The second New Member Orientation event of the year held by the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce nearly tripled in size! It’s a great event where new members, and old, can really learn what the chamber can offer a local PG business. As an ambassador for the chamber, I attended welcoming the new members, and of course, as a professional photographer, brought my camera to help out the chamber by making photos of everyone holding fun “I’m In” signs. If you are a PG chamber member new or old, be sure and check out the next one!
