Year-round awareness on Meta, Google, and YouTube

Our awareness campaigns promote Lowell to people across West Michigan so they keep coming back to shop, dine, and stay.

The content of the campaigns is based around the seasons and events. This keeps it relevant to what is going on, which helps with engagement. Our ads received over 400,000 video views in 2025.

Dedicated campaigns for the main events

Riverwalk Festival, Christmas Thru Lowell, and many other events through the year are promoted. Each one gets its own Facebook event campaign about 4 weeks before the event starts. Larger events also get an Instagram campaign and YouTube.

In 2025 those campaigns produced 21,743 RSVPs at about 36 cents each.

Tourism campaigns that reach outside West Michigan

In spring and summer, we run dedicated tourism campaigns to major cities outside of West Michigan that are within driving distance. This captures people who are looking for a nice place to visit and encourages those visiting Grand Rapids to spend a day in Lowell.

Different creatives for different activities

Besides the overview style videos, we target specific activities like fishing, biking, or dining. This allows the ads to be better matched to the audience which leads to better engagement.
