Electronic Gift Cards -- A Success
Downtown Boulder's electronic
gift card has been a success for both customers
and merchants. Since transitioning to the program, last
February, Downtown Boulder has seen an increase
in sales of over 47% ($130K in 2006 vs $192K
in 2007).
Merchants are seeing more of that money already. The
previous redemption rate was 31%. The electronic cards,
which are more convenient, have seen a redemption rate
of 52%. This has put over $99,000 in
our merchants' pockets. Downtown Boulder thanks its
customers for making this program so successful.
KidLinks Golf Tournament
Help Downtown send special kids to summer camp by participating
in the KidLinks Golf Tournament on Wednesday, May 21st
at Lake Valley Golf Club.
Downtown businesses can play in the tournament or participate
by contributing prizes. To donate a prize or for more

Earthwood Grand Opening
You are invited to the Grand Opening Celebration at
the Earthwood Gallery, Downtown's newest gallery. You
will be able to meet many of the gallery's local artists,
enjoy refreshments and have a chance to win a free oil
painting of the Flatirons by award winning Colorado
artist Terri Sanchez. www.earthwoodgallery.com
Parking Paystation Q &
A
Now that the solar powered pay stations are up and running
there are a few questions that people have. This section
addresses these questions.
Q: How do I add time?
A: Adding time is a key difference
between the old meters and the new pay stations. One
cannot add time to a printed parking stub. There are
two tactics to address this issue: 1) Use a credit
card to pay and press the “Max” button
when purchasing parking or 2) Take the tear-off portion
of your parking stub so you know when to return to
your car and purchase additional time (note the three
hour limit during the week).
If you have a specific question you would like answered
send an email to parking@dbi.org.
