22 The primary target audience can be described as follows: Age: The target audience primarily
consists of adults ranging from their late 30s to their 60s. While younger adults and families
also visit El Paseo, the high-end nature of the shops and boutiques tends to attract a slightly
older demographic. Socio-economic: The target audience on El Paseo is typically affluent or
financially well-off individuals. It caters to those with a higher purchasing power, as the shops
feature luxury brands, upscale fashion, fine jewelry, and high-end art galleries. This
demographic is generally characterized by their ability to afford luxury goods and indulging in
high-quality experiences. Geographic: The primary geographic range for El Paseo's target
audience is visitors and residents of the Coachella Valley, particularly Palm Desert and the
surrounding affluent communities. This includes areas such as Indian Wells, Rancho Mirage,
and La Quinta, which are known for their luxury resorts, golf courses, and affluent residential

neighborhoods. It's important to note that while the primary target audience may fall within
these ranges, El Paseo attracts a diverse mix of visitors, including tourists, day-trippers, and
locals of various ages and socio-economic backgrounds.

20 The secondary target audience for El Paseo can be described as follows: Age: The secondary
target audience includes younger adults in their late 20s to early 30s, as well as older adults
above the primary age range mentioned earlier. This group consists of individuals who
appreciate fashion, art, and upscale shopping experiences. Socio-economic: While the primary
target audience is predominantly affluent, the secondary target audience includes individuals
with a wider range of socio-economic backgrounds. This group may consist of moderately
affluent individuals, young professionals, and aspirational shoppers who are interested in
luxury brands but may have a more limited budget. Geographic: The secondary geographic
range for El Paseo's target audience extends beyond the immediate Coachella Valley. It
includes visitors and residents from other parts of Southern California, such as the greater Los
Angeles area and Orange County, who are drawn to the luxury shopping and dining
experiences offered on El Paseo. Additionally, El Paseo also attracts tourists and visitors from
outside the region who come to explore the renowned shopping district while enjoying the
nearby attractions, such as the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, golf tournaments,
and other cultural events. These tourists can come from various national and international
locations, contributing to the secondary target audience's geographic range.

Paseo, there are no businesses to profit off this target audience.

model of luxury and premium products and experience that appeals to their most affluent
clients is also pleasant for those that also aspire to share in the idea of rare luxury, excellent
service.

VERY SUCCESSFULLY AND IT’S INCLUSIVE.

2 If it benefits other businesses on the street, continue it. My business doesn't benefit because
the EPBID doesn't use any type of signage or print media for the street to direct people to the
businesses facing into the Presidential Parking lots, East and West, that I know of.

3 We have participated in previous years but our clients didn’t feel enough was happening to
come out. Feel first Friday needs to be re thought out to make it more impactful so it benefits
the merchants. Maybe having it start earlier in the day instead of the end of the day.

your social media presence, including content creation, scheduling, engagement, and analytics
across platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Search engine optimization
(SEO): A group marketing service can optimize your website and online content to improve its
visibility and ranking in search engine results pages, helping you attract more organic traffic.
Pay-per-click (PPC) advertising: These services can create and manage targeted advertising
campaigns on platforms like Google Ads and social media platforms to drive relevant traffic to
your website or specific landing pages. Content marketing: Group marketing services can
assist with content strategy, creation, and distribution, including blog posts, articles, videos,
infographics, and more. This can help you establish thought leadership, engage your audience,
and drive traffic to your website. Email marketing: Services can help you design, manage, and
automate email campaigns to nurture leads, retain customers, and drive conversions. They
can also assist with list management and segmentation. Influencer marketing: If applicable to
your industry, group marketing services can identify relevant influencers, manage
collaborations, and track the performance of influencer campaigns to expand your reach and
target specific audiences.

13 The creation of a yearly event to promote El Paseo on a national level would be welcome. The
destination has once again become an area with a wealth of home/design stores. I was part of
the La Cienega Design Quarter prior to relocating and their yearly Legends event became a
highly anticipated design event and is attended by designers from around the world. I would be
happy to discuss this idea further.

3 I was a little put off by the campaign to get everyone welcome here -- anyone with a credit card
-- not sure what that means., because we thrive off qualified buyers. I am concerned about
developments in the works to make the street more like Santa Monica. We are already
experiencing the increase in security issues the last two years; it seems I call the sheriff's
department once a quarter. So I am most concerned about commerce and business-friendly
marketing, and also security is so important on a luxury business district..

14 I think we need to penetrate the Palm Springs market in a bigger and more impactful way. A
LOT of our clients who visit PS say that they didn't know that our shopping districted existed. I
also think we need to market El Paseo as cool and fun, but still lux, Scottsdale Quarter does a
great job at this.

15 None.5/22/2023 11:14 AM
16 I think it is essential that we lean in to luxury brands and services. This creates reasons for
high net worth visitors as well as affluent members of clubs to visit El Paseo . I think visiting
our luxury and premium stores is exciting for all demographics. It’s important that we maintain
enough Independant stores to support El paseo’s unique identity as well as promote national
premium brands that help anchor or street. I think of Carmel, Aspen, Lajolla , sunvalley,
Jackson hole and other resort destinations that do a good job balancing and promoting luxury .I
love what Palm Springs has done but their departure from leaning in to luxury means brands
like ours could not survive in that market as it would be unable to support our price points.
