SPEEDWAY CHAMBER LAUNCHES CAMPAIGN TO SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES

During this unprecedented time, local businesses need support now more than ever. With statewide social distancing restrictions and closures of non-essential businesses, significant hardships are being placed on local businesses.

The Speedway Chamber has developed a #SupportSpeedway campaign in conjunction with the Town of Speedway and Susan Decker Media. The campaign features two sections – one for businesses and the other for community supporters – offering ideas to help #SupportSpeedway.

 

Businesses are encouraged to:

  • Utilize #SupportSpeedway signs, social media graphics and other promotional materials

  • Share updates on social media

  • Offer gift cards and other branded items

  • Communicate hours of operation, services/goods being offered and how services/goods are offered

  • Download and use Speedway-themed images for Zoom meetings

  • Add the custom #SupportSpeedway Facebook profile picture frame

  • Let the Chamber know about positive things happening in the community

  • Ask customers for feedback 

  • Share posts from other Speedway businesses to show support 



Community supporters are encouraged to:

  • Share social media posts using the hashtag #SupportSpeedway

  • Leave positive reviews online

  • Purchase a gift card or branded item from a local business

  • Buy items from a local retailer before ordering from a national retailer

  • Order carryout or delivery

  • Check on neighbors – while maintaining social distancing

  • Volunteer your time if you have a specific skill set to help others 

  • Download and use Speedway-themed images for Zoom meetings

  • Add the custom #SupportSpeedway Facebook profile picture frame

  • Let the Chamber know about positive things happening in the community

  • Take advantage of videos and resources from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum

  • Get creative with a racing-themed coloring sheet

  • Take a break and complete a Speedway-themed digital puzzle

  • Reschedule, not cancel, appointments

  • Say thank you to essential workers
