Some 36 businesses are

chant effort to stimulate

C h a irm a n
D uane
Youngbar hopes the city
wide sale with new shopper
incentives marks the dawn
of an aggressive new image
for stores here
“ Savings O-the Green" is
theme of .Sandy Area Mer
chants' March 12—17 St.
Patrick's Daze promotion
Featured in the sales cam
p a ig n a rc fre e sto re
premiums to lucky shoppers
and a new fac elift for
SAM short for Sandy Area
Merchants

The cartoon character was
drawn by Sandy High stu
dent Roman Scott, a national
aw ard winning cartoonist
for the Sandy Post
Sheriff SAM was created
as spokesman to address
area shoppers about Sandy
store potential, according to
SAM C h a irm a n D uane
Youngbar of Montgomery
Ward.
“ I t ’s a pity to think so
m eone
d o e s n ’t
know
something they need is
available in Sandy "
Youngbar said selection of
m e rc h a n d is e
a c tu a lly
available in Sandy presents
a p ro b le m in shopper
misconception SAM store
members must combat
Other image problems
SAM stores hope to correct
include shopper belief that
goods cost more in Sandy
and that service in Sandy
stores is anything less than
top rate
S h e r iff
SAM
says.
‘“ ‘We re taking aim on high
prices "
He also says, “ No need to
ride west, pardner!" and
"We re ndin' 'gainst that
o ut-a town
bunch
of
storekeep cutthroats."
Sandy Area Merchants
also will give lucky St.
Patrick's Daze shoppers gift
certificates worth ur to $100

Unified strength of Sandy
stores who promote together
with a common theme can
revitalize business in Sandy
and pump new life in the ci
ty's economy, Youngbar
feels
A theme approach also
could draw shoppers from
outside town
“ I t ’s such an easy thing to
pick up on here," he said of
the western approach with
Sheriff SAM
Now S A M ’s ch airm an
would like to remodel Sandy
storefronts with a common
western look
Unified Sandy stores could
Wear green j
r iv a l o u ts id e shopping
centers for attention, he
said
“ Now is the tim e," he said
“ Nothing could be more ap
p ro p ria te than building
business So many average
citizens think something con
structive should be done, and
that's what we’re going to be
about," he said of SAM's ag
gressive new look.
“ The object is to get unity
and strength from numbers
in these promotions We
want to show Sandy area
residents the variety of
goods and service right
here ’’
Ultimately he hopes to
organize SAM to provide
m erchanidizing help for
sm aller shops in Sandy
Mem tier stores then could
obtain group prom otion
packets with banners, decals
and point-of-purchase tags
