Firm Promises City Unparalleled Virtual Downtown Revitalization

MEDFORD, Ore. - Washingtoner -- It requires more than a facade refresh to draw foot traffic to suffering downtowns and Medford is no different, according to Daniel Wells, a local 30-year tech entrepreneur. Wells' ShopDowtown, a leading innovator in the online shopping directory space, announced today a new approach to revitalize Medford's downtown in partnership with Portland-based WonderSouq. We aim to offer merchants, restaurants and bars, as well as auto dealerships an online 'virtual city' experience designed to engage and attract potential patrons while showcasing local wares and fare to a wider internet audience.

Virtual City Benefits

● Increased foot traffic and online sales for local businesses.

● Drive tourism and attract new businesses and residents.

● Showcase Medford's downtown to a global audience.

● Foster economic growth and community pride.

"We're collecting feedback from potential users of the platform to provide to the City of Medford and the Downtown Medford Association to review our proposal," Wells noted. "Initial meetings with the Chamber and city officials have been very positive and we're moving forward with the construction of our first virtual City for the hometown that I grew up in."
