What are the benefits of being a member of the
6th Avenue Merchants’ Association?
The goal of the Sixth Avenue Business District Association is to work together to address common concerns, and affect positive change for our district. We strive to achieve a safer and cleaner shopping environment and an economically vibrant Tacoma.
All businesses on Sixth Avenue have gained with the turnaround of the District from its low point in the eighties to early nineties. This new success is due in part to the work of the Merchants Association in conjunction with Tacoma Economic Development Department. As a result, this District has become a leader among the neighborhood business districts of the city.
Periodically, the 6th Avenue Business Association sponsors events intended to increase traffic, awareness and selling opportunities for District businesses. Events include the big summer art festival, Art on the Ave, The Tacoma Farmer's Market, and 0ther events that are planned as opportunities arise.
In addition, the Association sponsors advertising through community news outlets. Promotion in University of Puget Sound publications reaches the large nearby market of students and their families.
An Association goal is sponsoring the steady increase of public art in the district to amplify the district's unique character.
The Association website gives members an additional free outlet to promote their business as well.
An annual evening social event at a member restaurant is held in the Fall to give members more opportunity to become better acquainted with their fellow business persons.
Identification decals are furnished to members to display at their business. Special posters will be furnished members at promotional times.
Community effort multiplies individual effort toward District success. All business persons in the Sixth Avenue District are invited to join the Sixth Avenue Merchants Association for continuing and increasing growth of the District as a great shopping destination.
