Shawano Super 8 Receives
Vision 2017 Grant
Shawano Super 8 Motel has received a Façade Grant totaling $2,500 through Shawano
Country Vision 2017. The matching grant
was awarded to help cover costs for renovation. Improvements included removing a
chalet-looking façade and painting the building and signs.
Built in 1988 with an addition constructed in
1993, the Super 8 Motel has 55 guest rooms,
employs 12 people and is currently owned by
Shawano Hospitality, LLC. Manager Barb
McKeefry believes the improvements will
increase business. “First impressions are very
important and we feel the fresh coat of paint
and updated look will help to make that positive first impression and attract more guests,”
said McKeefry.
According to Nancy Smith, Executive Director of Shawano Country Chamber of Commerce, when lodging properties have more
guests it fuels the tourism industry in Shawano County. “Visitors spent $62 million in
Shawano County last year. Many visitors
determine where they vacation according to
the lodging properties available in the area.
The more choices we have of nice looking,
quality lodging, the more visitors will stay
and spend their money here and that benefits
us all,” said Smith.
First impressions are important for a community as a whole. “Having well maintained
businesses that look good helps with economic development. Prospective new business owners will see this and get the feeling
that they want to be part of our community,”
said McKeefry.
Since 2013, thirty nine grants totaling
$125,000 have been awarded to small businesses through the Vision 2017 Façade and
Interior Grant programs. This has stimulated
total private investment of over $920,000.
Grants have been awarded to businesses
throughout Shawano County in the communities of Tigerton, Wittenberg, Gresham, Eland,
Bonduel, and Shawano.
Any employer or entrepreneur operating in
Shawano or Menominee Counties can apply
for Shawano Country Vision 2017 grant programs. To determine if your project or business development idea is eligible contact

Shawano Country Vision 2017 is a five-year
economic development plan strategically designed to address various needs of area businesses and communities. The plan’s overall goal
is to spur capital investment and grow the economy by implementing specific action steps in
key areas, including business expansion, attraction and recruitment; tourism/retail development,
workforce issues, and community development.
This plan was initiated three years ago by the
board of directors of Shawano County Economic
Progress Inc. and the Shawano Country Chamber
of Commerce to proactively tackle economic
challenges including several plant closures, job
losses, and lower than average per capita income.
It serves as one resource for future growth and
prosperity and a stronger economic climate for
Shawano and Menominee Counties.

Chad Kary
believes it’s important to be an active member of the
community in which one lives. “As an individual
whose livelihood is very much dependent on the overall economic
strength of my community, I feel that it is important to be influential
at a decision making level. I bring a strong belief in the power of
community involvement and a real sense of pride in our city and
county.” said Kary.
He enjoys public interaction and takes his role as a community
member very seriously. “I think it is important to take an honest
measure of our strengths and weaknesses as a city, county, and
organization and use those strengths as a tool to improve the areas
in which we may lack. I think this is most effectively done by taking a
measured, rational, long-term view with a cohesive vision towards
the future,” added Kary.
Kary enjoys spending time with his wife and two children exploring
the many fishing and camping spots our beautiful state has to offer
He also coaches softball and spends a LOT of time in the summer
breathing in diamond dust with a mouthful of sunflower seeds. When
time allows he enjoys traveling, exploring, and sharing new experiences with his family. He is an avid reader, baseball fan, and has a
very deft hand at housework avoidance.

How to Use Pokémon Go to Attract Customers—Catch ‘Em All!
by Nancy Smith, Executive Director
By now you’ve probably heard of Pokémon Go or have witnessed
groups of people wandering around town while staring at their smartphones. Pokémon Go is a game for mobile devices in which players
move throughout the real world to hunt for and capture digital Pokémon. In the short time since the game launched in early July it has
surpassed the popularity of Facebook and Snapchat. According to
my 25 year old son, this new game is very unique. It gets video-game
playing people walking around outside (in the REAL world!) actually
interacting with each other and visiting community landmarks and
attractions.
One of my first thoughts after
hearing about this new game was
--how can we get the people
wandering outside our businesses to come in and spend
money? In order to answer that
question, I needed to learn a little
more about the game, so I did
what any “older” person would do
and consulted a 19-year-old.
Devlyn Koon works at the Shawano City-County Library, enjoys playing video games and has embraced the social aspects of Pokémon
Go. “I’m an introvert—not comfortable socializing. This forces me to
go outside and interact in a fun way,” said Koon.
After a very brief tutorial from Devlyn here is what I know. Pokémon
Go is a game about exploring the real world. Players—mostly between the ages of 18 and 35— visit different points of interest to collect items and catch Pokémon (virtual creatures) along the way.
There are two types of locations in the game. The first are known as
PokéStops, which are buildings or places of note around a city where
players can go to get Poké Balls (used to capture the Pokémon) and
other items. The other type of location is called a “Gym” where players battle their Pokémon. Both of these locations attract players
throughout the day. As far as I can tell, there is no way to tell where
the PokéStops and Gyms are unless you are playing the game…or if
you ask one of the players.
Since the game is GPS (geographically) based there are a number of
ways you can use the game to attract local players to your location.
Here are some ideas Devlyn had:

Offer a discount or free beverage for players who have
reached level 5 or greater.

Activate a “Lure” at a nearby PokéStop and promote it on
Facebook. This is a little more involved and costs a little
money, but does get the attention of players. (If you would
like more information ask a player or visit https://
www.shopify.com/retail/how-to-lure-pokemon-go-players-toyour-storefront)
Here are some additional ideas:

Help Pokémon players recharge their phones. This
game creates a serious drain on cellphone batteries.
Players will travel far from their homes to play. Invite
players in to rest, recharge, and hopefully make a purchase.

Host gym battle tournaments. If your business is closer
to a Gym than a PokéStop, advertise that you will be
hosting a tournament. Then on game day offer discounts to players who successfully become gym leaders.

Host a community wide Poké-hunt that starts and ends
at your business’s doorstep. Have staff join in the hunt
in their branded shirts to make sure your business is
visible. After the event, you can hold an after-party at
your business to allow the players to compare their
experience. This is especially effective for restaurants.

Use Pokémon Go to increase your business’s visibility
on social media. Offer customers a discount to take a
screenshot of a Pokémon in your store or restaurant
and post it on social media with a tag to your business.
That will encourage other nearby players to stop in.
Full disclosure: I have downloaded the app and enjoyed catching
Pokémon and battling in a “gym” even though I didn’t exactly
know what I was doing. And yes, there are Pokémon at the
Chamber and yes, we are a PokéStop.

Walls of Wittenberg Fund Receives
Generous Bequest
The refurbished WOWSPACE located on Vinal St. in Wittenberg, hosts concerts, art shows and craft events.
The Wittenberg community has been home to the Walls of Wittenberg (WOW) for more than 10 years. The project
has revitalized the area by bringing out some of its beauty and unique character through colorful murals, and drawing
visitors to town. In addition to the murals, the organization maintains a WOWSPACE and an Art Park downtown.
Recognizing the need for ongoing maintenance of these facilities, the late Susan Hanson encouraged the WOW board
to create an endowment fund for WOW with the Shawano Area Community Foundation, which would support their
operations for generations to come. After Hanson’s passing in 2015, her estate made a bequest to the fund, to begin to
ensure that the facilities get the upkeep they need to serve the community and visitors to Wittenberg for years to come.
Contact us to learn how we can help you give back to
your community today and for generations to come.
