The mobile friendly map can be found online at www.visitputnam.org/perfect-gifts-in-putnam. “The shopping opportunities in Putnam are really some of the county’s hidden jewels,” said Libby Pataki, director of Putnam County Tourism. “Our commerce districts and Main Streets have businesses that carry the must-have items and provide top-of-the-line customer service. This map shows people all the wonderful gifts that can be purchased within the county.” The map, which if a user allows, accesses the person’s location and identifies the various retail, dining and gift-oriented service businesses in close proximity or throughout Putnam County based on more than 20 categories of interest. A person can click on a category, find a store and get directions and/or a link to the business’ website. “The map is a great tool to promote commerce in Putnam County,” said Jennifer Maher, chairwomen of the Putnam Chambers of Commerce. “I am thankful that we had the opportunity to partner with Putnam Tourism to develop a resource that can be used, not only during the holiday season, but throughout the rest of the year as well."
The map will also be available under the Shop Putnam tab of the Putnam County Cares app. “It’s amazing what wonderful projects come out of meetings where creative ideas are thrown around,” said County Executive MaryEllen Odell. “That is exactly what happened when the folks from Putnam County Chambers of Commerce and Putnam Tourism got together." Businesses interested in being identified on the map can submit their information though a link found on www.visitputnam.org/perfect-gifts-in-putnam. The Putnam County Cares app is available through the Google Play Store and on Mac App Store.
