This gives businesses the opportunity to advertise their business in a new area reaching new potential customers in the busiest shopping areas in Bloomingdale. To increase participation\, residents will vote on their favorite tree by posting a selfie with #BCCHolidayTrees2022\, tagging the business. Each week a winner(s) will be chosen from those who posted to the #BCCHolidayTrees2022.  The better the tree is decorated the more recognition it will receive.  To increase enthusiasm\, a pickle will be hidden in the tree.  Whoever finds it first wins an instant gift card.
