Governor Mike Parson

Missouri’s initial recovery phase opening up the economy begins May 4, may restaurants open their dining rooms?

Yes. In concert with the Missouri Restaurant Association, we are strongly encouraging restaurants to prioritize public health and safety by implementing measures including, but not limited to, regulating self-serve options such as salad bars and buffets, using disposable menus, and employee use of personal protective equipment if available. Tables and seating shall be spaced out according to social distance requirements.

The continued use of drive-thru, pickup, or delivery options is encouraged.

Food court establishments may operate, but the social distancing and communal seating requirements will prevent them from offering seating.

Clinton Creatures

Clinton Creatures Statement:

Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the Clinton Creatures will sit out the 2020 season. The team will field a team during the 2021 season. The Creatures are a new expansion team in the MINK League with 2020 having been set for their first season.

Creatures owner Titus Bond detailed how difficult of a decision it was to make. "We are proud to be a part of the Clinton community. From day one this community has embraced us. We are proud of what we have been able to accomplish over such a short period. Our team operates off of support from area business sponsorships and season ticket packages. With the economic uncertainty that the coronavirus has presented, we cannot, in good conscience, ask local companies to sponsor our team."

The Creatures will continue to work with Clinton city officials, stay involved in the community over the next year and are excited about working on some new projects to prepare for the 2021 season.

"We want to make sure to thank our loyal sponsors, host families, and fans. We look forward to starting our first season in 2021."

Current sponsors and season ticket holders will be given the option to apply their payment towards the 2021 season or to receive a refund.

Clinton Schools

Today, Missouri Governor, Mike Parson ordered that all Missouri public schools will remain closed through the end of the 2019-2020 school year to flatten the curve and slow the spread of COVID-19.

At this time, there are a number of questions regarding what ending the school year looks like for the Clinton School District. While we do not have all of the answers right now, here is what we do know:
*Buildings will remain closed
*Distance learning (both online and hard copy formats) will continue through May 15th
*Our meal distribution program will continue as well

We know this announcement brings with it many questions. As we are able to work through this announcement, solidify the unknowns, and explore our options we will communicate with you. Please continue to follow our social media outlets, our website and watch for emails from the school.

As we have said since this began, we appreciate your patience and partnership as we navigate through these unprecedented times.

Together we will get through this.

Today's Marketing Tip is focused on the critical components of appropriate messaging. Use these tips for when you're at the keyboard ready to craft the messaging:

• Keep it simple
• Give people time to acclimate to the new normal
• Provide messages of comfort, encouragement and inspiration
• Provide something to offset the constant barrage of negativity
• Feel-good commercials that evoke warm fuzzies
• Something that says, "We're in this together."

Our advertisers have an opportunity to be the antidote to the doom and gloom information being shared.

Many small businesses are struggling to just survive. For those who have the ability and the desire, advertising can help them further connect their brand to their current customers, reach new customers and be the chosen business when we come out of the other side of this crisis.

COMMUNITY SHOW OF SUPPORT...
(L. Edwards, The Clinton (Mo.) Daily Democrat)

Many people in the community showed their support for our health care workers by parking outside of the front entrance at Golden Valley Memorial Hospital, April 8, at 7 p.m.

Pastor Randy Shipman (First Baptist Church, Clinton) said a short prayer for our health care workers (and first responders) as people in the Clinton (and surrounding) community parked outside the Golden Valley Memorial Hospital’s front entrance, honked horns, and turned on their headlights and hazard lights to show their appreciation.

GVMH CEO Craig Thompson stood on the roof with a sign: “Heroes Work Here.”

Should Your Business Be Advertising Now?

The short answer, not surprisingly is "yes." There is lots of information and research to support advertising in a down market, providing information to your customers and potential customers, telling them about your inventory availability, etc.

Why? So your business can stay relevant, current, and connected to your customers.

Consider this research:
• Kantar estimates that a six-month absence from radio will result in a 39% reduction in brand awareness
• 65% of respondents said that a brand's response in crisis will have a huge impact on their likelihood of purchasing in the future
• 60% said they are turning to brands that they can absolutely trust
• Over one-third of consumers said they have started using a new brand because of the innovative or compassionate way it has responded

Clay’s advice to advertisers based on this research:
• Do not go dark, your customers are counting on you
• Be compassionate and not self-serving
• Be innovative

Advertising is information, and people are starved for relevant recent information that is beneficial for their lives. We can assist you in what to say when advertising in times like these.
