City of Temecula Promotes Local Small Businesses with<br />

Shop Your Block Social Media Campaign’<br />

The City of Temecula has kicked<br />

off its ‘Shop Your Block social media<br />

campaign’, a visual<br />

storyboard featuring Temecula’s<br />

economic backbone, which are small<br />

businesses. In an effort to recognize and<br />

promote shopping local during these ever-changing<br />

times, the City has collaborated<br />

with local photographer Jimmy Fu,<br />

to visit and photograph over 125 small<br />

businesses around town.<br />

This 14-week social media campaign<br />

features images of local business owners,<br />

products, employees, food, office spaces<br />

and storefronts. Locations of these small<br />

businesses are comprised of areas all<br />

over Temecula city limits, including Old<br />

Town, Temecula Parkway, Vail Ranch<br />

Headquarters, Jefferson Avenue, Margarita<br />

Road, Winchester Road and Rancho<br />

California Road.<br />

“We wanted a way to safely showcase<br />

the entrepreneurial spirit, resiliency<br />

and strength of our local business community.<br />

We chose to accomplish this by<br />

capturing their essence through a camera<br />

lens. It is our hope that the community<br />

will see these images and get inspired to<br />

visit and shop local.” says Temecula’s<br />

Mayor Pro Tem, Maryann Edwards.<br />

The City of Temecula strongly supports<br />

and joins hands with the Temecula<br />

Valley Chamber of Commerce’s Shop<br />

Local promotional effort.<br />
