Business Support
Marketing Communications and Advertising Strategy Overview • Based on feedback obtained from focus groups with businesses and the seven local
BIAs, the Crosstown Business Support strategy campaign will be implemented in three stages:
• Phase 1 (2017-2018):
• Improve the on-the-ground experience around construction sites for patrons visiting Eglinton.
• Phase 2 (2018-2019): • Roll-out of hyper-local marketing and advertising campaigns each quarter with
specific tools and tactics that are targeted for each unique business community and are tied into an over-arching “Shop Local” campaign for all of Eglinton.
• Phase 3 (2019-2021): • Roll-out of over-arching “Shop Local” campaign for all of Eglinton that establishes
Eglinton as a destination place in Toronto.
