While chamber members enjoy lunch, candidates will move from table to table to share their platforms and answer your questions. Make sure you take this opportunity to learn more about these individuals who may represent you starting next year. Bring your thoughtful questions as a member of the business community, and let’s keep the conversation going.

Our sponsor of this luncheon, Marketing WITH Mary, can handle all of your marketing needs: consultation, analysis, identity, branding, research, full event plans, management—monthly retainer packages available. So you can keep your head in your business and she can keep her head on your marketing... YOUR SUCCESS IS HER GOAL!

The candidate forum lunch is on Thursday, October 11, 2012. Anacortes Lutheran Church at 22nd & O Ave. 11:30am – 1:00pm. Lunch will be catered by the Swinomish Casino & Lodge, 13moons $15. Please bring a gift for the give-away! RSVP to the chamber at (360) 293-7911 or online at www.anacortes.org.

would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has contributed to this past year’s success of the chamber in our community.

I would briefly like to thank the Board of Directors for their efforts this year to set the strategic goals of our chamber and follow through with them. Everyone has worked so very hard and I could not be more pleased with our direction and determination as we welcome our new year.

ing legislation and its impact, economic and community development works to finds ways to improve what makes us an attractive place to do business, and marketing and promotions tells the world about all the unique things that are taking place here in Anacortes.

Our stellar staff continues to astound us with their management of all aspects of our day to day operations, special events, and “one time” efforts such as moving the Boys and Girls club to new digs this past month. Our members and volunteers on commit-tees and events constitutes nearly 5000 work hours per year. I find the level of action and commitment in this truly amazing and

As I sit writing my last letter as President of the Chamber Board of Directors, the Oyster

Run is roaring in my ears and the crowds are milling around the door to the shop. The store has been very busy today, who would have guessed? I think there may be no bet-ter illustration of the diversity of this town and our business community.

I am thrilled with the varied accomplish-ments of the chamber in this past year…

Washington State Ferries invited Anacortes along with other ferry-served communities early in the summer

to join them in a brainstorming session. The focus was to identify a means of advertising that would increase ridership and entice the riders to visit other ferry-served communities. The campaign would need to be universal so each community could use the template to tie in their advertising. After hearing each community’s idea Anacortes’s idea was chosen! It was simple: a map that would depict the communities with a QR code that would lead the reader to the destination community they were looking for. Giving the rider a peek at what they might find if they visited.

Washington State Ferries added icons to the map that would be representative of the communities (Anacortes’s icon will be a sailboat).

Watch for the bright green and blue maps appearing on ferries, in the terminals, print advertising and websites in the next month.

Here is a rendition of the map design that will be on all ferries in Washington State. Just one of the great ideas coming out of this marketing group of ferry-served communities.

word waves Anacortes

Your Anacortes American print subscription now includes premium access to local news and online-only content from your computer, tablet or mobile device.

Visit goanacortes.com!

Word waves is a community-wide literary celebration. In its first year, 2012, word

waves includes permanent public poetry installations at Cap Sante Marina and Wash-ington Park, a public poetry game played through Anacortes businesses, a melding of poetry and art at local galleries, and several public readings by our Washington Poet Lau-reate, Kathleen Flenniken, and other regional poets who will also be working alongside our public school students.

word waves begins its two month series of community literary events with a Pen-A-Poem & Get Published word game provided by local merchants and business organiza-tions. The community word game is designed to involve as many community members as possible in order to bring awareness to the word waves project. The game offers kids and adults the opportunity to have the same word fun by creating their own poetry art works and submitting them to the word waves panel for choosing the game winners.

The winners’ poetry works will be announced and read publically during an event the first week of November at the Anacortes Library called an Evening of Poetry. The winning poetry will then be published in the Anacortes American and Anacortes Magazine print and online publications.

The Pen-A-Poem game form provides a list of words that players can choose from and mix with their own words to create poems. Return the form to Watermark Book Company or a number of other businesses

including the Anacortes Visitor Center. All entries must be received by October 27.

word waves partners include the Anacortes Arts Festival, Anacortes Parks & Recreation, Arts Commission, Anacortes Public Library, Port of Anacortes, Chamber of Commerce, Anacortes School District and local poets, businesses, publications and service organizations.

Pen-A-Poem game forms can be picked up at the Visitor Information Center and other participating businesses.

On October 12, the movie ARGO, starring Ben Affleck, Alan Arkin, and John Good-

man opens across the country. ARGO is based on part of the story of the 1979 take-over of the American embassy in Teheran, Iran, during which 52 Americans were taken hostage and held for 444 days. The ARGO story relates to the six US diplomats who, in the chaos of the takeover, were able to slip out a side door of the embassy and eventu-ally found themselves in the undisclosed protective care of Canadian diplomats for almost three months.

Tony Mendez, A CIA officer, created a very elaborate and courageous scheme to spirit the six Americans out of Teheran. The scheme involved a pretend movie production crew and cast with each of the Americans as-suming a false identity. The movie that they were “producing” was called ARGO.

Two of the six Americans who were part of this international drama live in Anacortes. Mark Lijek and Cora Amburn-Lijek have lived in Anacortes since 1996, and have both been invaluable leaders in the Anacortes Sister Cities Association.

On October 11 (at 7 PM at the Library), one day before the opening of ARGO, the Anacortes Sister Cities Association is spon-soring a program during which Mark and Cora will provide the “inside” story that has now become a Hollywood movie. They will explain, in words and photos, what happened during the takeover, during their time in hiding, during the escape attempt, and what happened after their return to the US.

It is a captivating story. Mark has written an e-book, titled The Houseguests: A Memoir of Canadian Courage and CIA Sorcery. More information can be found on his website – marklijek.com.

effective advertising starts with a goal

Setting a goal starts with understand-ing and meeting customer needs. Look at your market in terms of

specific customer needs. Ask “what do customers need, how does my business fill those needs and what is it about my business that really satisfies customers?”

Assess strengths with respect to customer needs and you’ll have a bet-ter idea of how to entice customers to choose you. Are you more affordable, more convenient or perhaps more reliable than other market options? Do you offer unique products, special services, faster sales or free delivery?

This is called a differential marketing advantage and helps position your busi-ness in the minds of customers.

With a clear idea of what customers want, how to meet needs and whom to reach, it’s time to set a goal.

The most common goal is an increase sales, which will provide a guide in set-ting a budget. With your target market in focus, and a budget in hand, you are really ready to start advertising.

Jan Hersey has spent a lifetime writing, starting with the launch of “Cowboy

Dumb” stories, co-authored with a second grade classmate. Such auspicious begin-nings led to a diverse career in publishing, writing, marketing, branding, editing, video production, corporate communications, and teaching.

A Navy baby born in Norfolk, VA, Jan grew up in Scarborough, NY, outside NYC, and has lived in Boston, NYC, Philadelphia, and North and South Carolina. She arrived in Anacortes in 2002, reuniting with her college boyfriend—and now husband—Jay Ham, whom she met as a camp counselor in the Adirondacks.

Jan continues to help clients with writing and editing projects as Biz Point Communica-tions, while pursuing a growing focus on the

environment. She wrote about Fidalgo and the islands for Natural Skagit, produced by the Sk-agit Land Trust, and is developing the copy for the new Trail Tales interpretive signage along the Tommy Thompson Trail.

Serving as a chamber ambassador and marketing and promotions division mem-ber provides Jan a role in the local business community. She’s also a board member of Anacortes Community Gardens and Transition Fidalgo & Friends, which is helping to build local resilience and reduce use of fossil fuels.

Playing outdoors tops Jan’s pastime list—hiking, rowing, skiing, and gardening. There’s always time, too, for photography, reading, and playing long-distance mom to Page, who is completing her doctorate in education in the Bay Area, and Tyler, an archivist with Wingnut films in Wellington, NZ.

Having been fortunate to discover the Magic Skagit, Jan is committed to helping strengthen and enrich the little piece of heaven she’s now fortunate to call “home.”
