The changing face of Fortitude Valley, Queensland has been reflected in the way businesses and community groups promote local events, products and services. The use of marketing services in Fortitude Valley has been a part of daily life in the suburb since early store owners James McWhirter and Thomas Beirne first set up drapery outlets in the fledgling centre in the 1890s. Early efforts to attract new customers often involved handwritten Signs and Flyers on the back of top services being provided by the outlet’s staff. Modern technology has seen a far more professional finish to marketing products including those available from the team here at Minuteman Press.
At the turn of the 20th Century Fortitude Valley which is only 1km from Brisbane CBD was a thriving shopping precinct serviced by a top public transport system. It was so successful that by the mid-1900s it rivalled all other non-CBD shopping hubs throughout the country. A competitive market place led to a rise in marketing services in Fortitude Valley during this period. However the introduction of suburban shopping centres in the early 1970s adversely affected the retail strength of the area which then experienced a downturn. Today many of the major stores such as David Jones and Myer have long gone and retail is in a minority. Instead the suburb has become a hub for entertainment and dining.
