<h2>Attracting Millennials</h2>

<p class="body"><b>Volunteers spread downtown success stories, increase social media reach.</b>

<p class="body">(Mountain Lakes, NJ, March 24, 2016) &mdash; 
The #SeizeDesMoines Share Des Moines program allows the
Greater Des Moines Partnership to recruit Social
Ambassadors to help share the latest news in economic
development, downtown events, and quality of life via
social media.

<p>To sign up, new ambassadors simply visit
 <a href="http://www.seizedesmoines.com" target="blank">www.seizedesmoines.com</a> and click on Share Des Moines. 

<p>The Partnership makes sharing easy by sending out email
alerts, along with a suggested post for Facebook,
LinkedIn, and Twitter, and a photo that can be shared
on Instagram. Social Ambassadors are encouraged to
share the news on any social media platform twice
monthly.

<p>Social Ambassadors can also show support for Greater
Des Moines by using the hashtag to share their own
news, announcements, and snapshots of their lives via
personal and professional social networks. 

<p>In addition, the Partnership encourages all community
members to share personal stories about Greater Des
Moines on the CarpeDM Seize Des Moines web portal, the
user-share website.

<p>It&rsquo;s a low-cost program which the partnership hopes
will engage and educate potential downtown visitors,
residents, and investors. 

<p>Details on the Partnership&rsquo;s additional attraction and
retention activities appear in the March issue  of
 <a href="http://www.downtowndevelopment.com/dpr.php"><i>Downtown Promotion Reporter</i></a>.
