Main Street and social networking

I am working on an article for Main Street News, the magazine of the National Trust Main Street Center, on "Make More Money from Members." I am looking for downtown and commercial district revitalization programs that do a good job of exploiting their membership lists to upsell members, ask them to give more, and give more often. Part of this research involves how local main street organizations use social networking sites.

I also interested in learning how these organizations recruit volunteers using social networking sites or their own web sites. So far I have gotten leads from the following state or county wide programs.

Main Street Iowa
Oklahoma Main Street
Baltimore Main Streets
Delaware Main Street
Wisconsin Main Street
Main Street Oakland County Michigan

I have been in contact with the following groups so far, but more will be in the offing.

Downtown Ferndale MI
Main Street Libertyville IL
Downtown Rochester MI
Rehoboth Beach DE
Main Street Bloomfield IA

I will post more information about my research on this blog as I get the information from local sources. Thanks and contact me for more information.
