2. Interactive Vendor Map Layout

• Mobile-friendly layout to view who’s where on a given day

(Can start with a simple image-based map or Google Sheets version if needed, then upgrade to interactive.)

3. Vendor Directory / Offerings Gallery

  • Next goals (lights, benches, banners, etc.)

• Makes your mission transparent and unshakable

5. Optional: Volunteer/Business Sponsorship Section

• Businesses can sponsor a spot, a vendor, or a flower bed

• Residents can sign up to help paint, clean, etc.

• Each gets a “Thank You” on the site and maybe a window sticker

The Challenge:

“Vendors are giving back. Will the businesses match it or just cash in?”

Let’s build this into the platform and movement as a clear, public-facing feature:

🔥 Introducing:

The NoDa Beautification Match Challenge

“Vendors give. Businesses match. The community wins.”

🎯 How It Works:

🔹 1. Vendor Contributions

• Each vendor contributes:

  • $10/day OR time (cleanup, planting, painting)

  • Tracked on NoDaNights.com by name

🔹 2. Challenge to Businesses

• Ask every local business to:

  • Match the $10 vendor contribution weekly

  • OR sponsor a project (bench, planter, lights, mural restoration)

  • OR donate materials (paint, mulch, lighting, trash bins)

🔹 3. Public Accountability Wall

On the website:

• ✅ “These Vendors Give Back” – names, photos, links

• ✅ “These Businesses Support the Community” – logos, donations, projects

• ❌ “These Businesses Have Not Contributed Yet”
