Happy Trails to you!

The Humboldt County Chamber of Commerce would like to invite you to join the Winnemucca Charm Trail this year. Read on to see what the Charm Trail can do for your business. The 2017 Charm Trail kicks off November 1st.

Purpose:
This promotion encourages visitors and residents to visit various attractions and stores that choose to participate in the promotion, thus extending their visits and increasing foot traffic and sales in those establishments.

Scope:
The promotion targets:
Resident who might find the idea unique and fun.
Travelers and visitors who can take home a unique souvenir that they will tell friends and family about.
Convention, conference, and meeting attendees, who receive a "starter bracelet", a single charm, or brochure in their packets to encourage further exploration of Winnemucca attractions and stores.

The 2017 Charm Trail will launch November 1st, 2017. All registration agreements must be submitted and participation fees paid by October 1st, 2016 in order to be included in the 2017 Charm Trail Guide.

Process:
Participation Chamber Members will order from the Humboldt County Chamber a specific, unique charm that depicts an aspect of their business or community.
The Chamber will coordinate and track the charms that are selected by each member. Those unique charms will not be available in any other location in Winnemucca.
Collectors will purchase "starter Bracelets" at the Chamber during business hours. The Charm Trail Guide shows each Members "stop" along the trail, as well as their business address, phone number, business hours, and an image of the charm available.
Participation members will reorder their charms throughout the participation year fro the Chamber.
Participating members will sell their charms for $1.50 each, and make a $0.75 profit on each, and hopefully visitors will also make other purchases in the member's store.
Charm Trail Guides, displays, and door signs for the charms are included in the annual fee. The Chamber also advertises and promotes the Charm Trail throughout the year in various venues and publications. When you are in need of more charms or Charm Trail Guides, please contact the Chamber with your order.
