Putting the Face of a 266-Year-Old Man on National Tourism Week
May 18, 2009

On May 11th, more than two dozen Sonoma County businesses celebrated National Tourism Week by “making change” with a total of $25,000 in $2 bills.  Trust me, that’s a lot of two-dollar bills.  

As the rarely-seen bills, bearing the portrait of Thomas Jefferson (hence the “SpendTom.com” tag), make their way through the community and beyond, they will act as a reminder of the scope and economic impact of the tourism industry in Sonoma County.

For an industry that often feels like Rodney “I don’t get no respect” Dangerfield, this is a tangible means of communicating our economic muscle.   

New media is driving much of the “SpendTom” effort.  Twitter, Facebook, You-Tube and a good old-fashioned website links are all provided below:

Congrats to all the folks at the California Travel and Tourism Commission (Caroline Beteta, Susan Wilcox, Amanda Moreland, Jeanne Sullivan, Tim Lowery) and the Sonoma County CVB (Ken Fischang, Tim Zahner) as well as my DCI Colleagues (Malcolm Griffiths, Peggy Bendel and Brittani Wood) who worked so hard on this effort!!!

Just blowing some free time on Stumbleupon and I found your entry. Not typically what I like to read about, but it was certainly worth my time. Thanks.

Very informative article. I've found your site via Google and I'm really glad about the information you provide in your posts. Btw your blogs layout is really broken on the Chrome browser. Would be cool if you could fix that. Anyhow keep up the great work!

I admit, I have not been on this site in a long time... however it was another joy to see It is such an important issue and ignored by so many, even professionals. I thank you to help making people more aware of possible issues. Great stuff as usual...

I love the new perpective you did on this subject. Surely was not thinking that when I started browsing. Your tips were easy to understand that I wondered how come I never looked at it before. Delighted to find out that there's a person out there that actually knows what he's talking about. Wonderful job!

Very interesting way to market on facebook. I also found a way to automate a couple very powerful methods of getting users. You can grab ID by groups or pages or wall posts with this program. Then once you have the IDs you can do a friend blast to your profile or sudo profile. This by passes the captcha codes too. There is also a cool chat program that you can setup scripts and keyword to work with. This program, when I use it I can see a spike in my site traffic. It is sweet...
