Cities like Hot Springs and Conway are
spending tens of thousands of dollars to lure holiday shoppers out
of Little Rock and into their businesses.
In Conway, the city`s chamber of commerce and local businesses
raised 20 thousand dollars for a series of radio and television
ads. The city said new stores like Target, Kohl`s and Pier One that
have opened in Conway during the last year. Officials said it`s
often less hassle for Little Rock shoppers to head west rather than
fight the crowds in the city.
Hot Springs is marketing itself as the place to come for
shoppers who want to find unique gifts in the city`s many art
galleries and antique shops this holiday season.
