City of Reidsville Launches New “Roam Reidsville” App
The City of Reidsville is pleased to announce a brand-new app, “Roam Reidsville!” This tourism app is designed for residents and visitors who want to know what’s happening in Reidsville! This app will connect you to the official tourism site for the City, riseupreidsville.com. From there you can see upcoming events and all things Reidsville.
The City of Reidsville launched its riseupreidsville.com website a few years ago and since then has promoted the site to tourists, visitors and residents seeking information about things to do in Reidsville. This site is geared as well to those moving to the City, retiring here and playing here. Just this year it has had over 45,000-page views from people who have visited the site to seek information.
The site posts all City events, and if you are holding an event and you’d like us to post, just send an electronic flyer to jyarbrough@reidsvillenc.gov. We will be happy to post on our calendar and on our Team Reidsville FB page as well as our Twitter page. This applies to businesses as well as non-profits etc. Are you holding an open house for your business, ribbon cutting, or hosting an event open to the public? Send us a flyer! We will assist in promoting!
Tourism is alive and well in Reidsville. It’s amazing how many visitors come into our City for events, to explore and to stay overnight. The Reidsville Chamber of Commerce is contracted through the City to have the Visitors Center open during the week, and many visitors stop in weekly. People are also moving into Reidsville from all over the United States. When someone comes into City Hall to turn on water service, they fill out an application. On the application, they are asked for their previous address as well as how many children they have under the age of 18. This helps determine how we spend our marketing dollars as well as assisting our school system to determine the number of children that will be attending our local schools. This information helps us learn from where our new residents are relocating. We have been doing a residential recruitment campaign in Guilford County for a couple of years, and people are moving here from that area as well as from all over the US.
The City also launched its “Reidsville Connect” app a couple of years ago, which is designed for residents to send information or questions to the City. If you have a problem or need information about zoning, a streetlight outage, or an overgrown lot, etc., you can connect directly to the department that can assist you. You can send in your request, including a picture of the issue, and can see the follow-up information on the request.
Both of these apps are available in the Google Play Store as well as the Apple Store. These are just two ways to connect electronically with the City of Reidsville and Team Reidsville and another way for the City to reach people outside our market! For more information, contact Judy Yarbrough, City Marketer, at 336-349-1099 or at jyarbrough@reidsvillenc.gov
