September 29, 2017 • Seaside Signal • seasidesignal.com • 5A Innovative concepts steer business Seaside’s way A utumn has always been one of my most favorite times of the year. I think it’s largely based around my love of baseball and football (one winding down, the other ramping up), but the transition of seasons is always an interesting time. This year is no different except for the fact that it feels like it happened overnight. On Friday, Sept. 15, colleague Ken Heman and I were fi lming another Facebook Live video on the streets of Seaside on a warm sunny afternoon. The streets were busy and it still felt like summer. Just one week later I was on the beach in the early morning hours of Sept. 22 with a production crew, set to start another Seaside video project on the offi cial fi rst day of the Autumn Equinox. While the calendar reminded me it was fall, the upper 40-degree temperatures slapped me in the face to say it’s defi nitely not summer anymore. SIDE RAIL JON RAHL SUBMITTED PHOTO And so it is, another summer season has come and gone in Seaside. When I last wrote this column in June (I took a little hiatus this summer from the writing world), we had just wrapped up the fi lming of four videos we were developing to promote Seaside. Utilizing our “It’s Easy to Seaside” tagline and “How to” approach for explaining the myriad activities we offer, our aim was to have four, fully-produced videos ready for launch by fall. Just this past Monday, two of the four (all four are fi nished) began running as 60-second video advertisements in the Portland-metro market. With an estimated 70,000 new residents arriving in the Portland Photo collage cards from the city’s new tourism campaign. area over the past year, this is still one of our strongest markets especially as we gear up for the fall and winter travel seasons. “How to Seaside Inside” and “How to Walk Seaside” launched the advertising efforts, but thanks to a razor clam- ming season that looks like it will open again on Sunday, Oct. 1, we hope to follow up those two videos with an also-completed “How to Catch Your Dinner in Seaside.” A fi nal video, “How to Paddle Sea- side,” is fairly spring and summer centric and although it’s produced and something we used as a social advertisement in August — won’t be a focused advertisement for us until early in 2018. “How to Bike Seaside” and “How to Treasure the Beach” were successfully fi lmed and should be ready for distribution later this year. I encourage you to check the new videos out by going to our YouTube Channel (youtube. com/VisitSeasideOregon) and view- ing our “How to” playlist.
