Your reality

You are responsible for how the district communicates with everyone

As a marketing or communications lead at a downtown district, you manage the relationship between the organization and its stakeholders: property owners, businesses, sponsors, board members, visitors, city partners, and the community. You send newsletters, coordinate events, manage sponsorships, update the website, and communicate district value to multiple audiences at once.

Most of the time, your contact data lives in one place, your email tool in another, your event info in a third, and your sponsorship tracking in a spreadsheet. District360 connects all of it.

👥

Contact lists are scattered and outdated

Property owners in one spreadsheet, sponsors in another, board members in a third. No shared contact database. No way to segment by role, location, or relationship type without manual assembly.

💬

Communication history is invisible

When someone asks what was sent to a specific stakeholder, there is no easy answer. Email history, meeting notes, and outreach context live in individual inboxes and are not shared across the team.

💰

Sponsorship tracking is manual

Sponsor commitments, payment status, recognition obligations, and fulfillment tracking managed through spreadsheets and email. Renewals and follow-ups slip through the cracks.

📅

Events are planned outside the system

Event details, business participation, and community engagement are tracked separately from the contacts, businesses, and stakeholders they relate to. Reporting on event impact is difficult.

🔍

Stakeholder engagement is hard to measure

There is no clear way to show the board how many stakeholders were reached, what outreach was conducted, or how engagement has changed over time.

What District360 gives you
The tools marketing and communications teams rely on every day
District360 connects contacts, communication history, sponsorships, events, and stakeholder engagement in one platform. Your outreach is more targeted, your reporting is clearer, and nothing falls through the cracks.
👥

Segment contacts and target the right audiences

Every contact in one database: property owners, business tenants, board members, sponsors, vendors, volunteers, and community partners. Segment by role, location, relationship type, membership tier, or any combination. Send the right message to the right group.

💬

Send targeted communications with full history

Integrates with Mailchimp and Constant Contact. Communication history is logged against every contact automatically. When you need to know what was sent to a stakeholder, the answer is in their record.

💰

Track sponsorships and contributions in one place

Sponsor commitments, pledge amounts, payment status, recognition obligations, and fulfillment tracking. Link sponsors to events, programs, and campaigns. Know who has paid, who has not, and what recognition is owed.

📅

Coordinate events and track engagement

Track district events, connect them to contacts and businesses, and measure participation and engagement. Use event data to report on district activity, community impact, and footfall to your board and stakeholders.

💼

Promote businesses and tell the district story

Business directories, featured businesses, new openings, and district impact data connected to CRM records. When combined with D360 WebSuite, your website content stays current with live CRM data.

📈

Report on engagement and outreach to your board

Dashboards showing stakeholder engagement, communications sent, sponsorship revenue, event participation, and outreach trends. Export for board packets and stakeholder presentations. Updated automatically.

🔗

Connected to the rest of the district platform

Contacts are the same records used by economic development, operations, and executive leadership. A sponsor is also a property owner and a board member. Everything is connected. No duplicate data.

🌐

Keep your district website current

When paired with D360 WebSuite, your business directories, event calendars, available spaces, and sponsor pages can pull live data from the CRM. Less manual updating. More accurate public-facing content.
