Politically-themed promotions start ahead of DNC 2012

Hours after Democrats announced Charlotte will host their 2012 convention, the first politically-themed promotion is already being rolled out at one of the city's swankiest hotels.

The Ritz-Carlton uptown on East Trade Street announced Tuesday it will offer a package deal called "Red, White, Blue and Green," to celebrate the convention announcement. The $269 deal includes a tasting of red wine, white wine and blue cheese, free parking for a hybrid or electric vehicle (to add the green aspect) and "deluxe weekend accommodations for one night."

Although the Red, White, Blue and Green package will be available Thursday through Sunday starting this week, guests won't be able to actually book it for the week of the convention in Sept. 2012. Reservations can be made at 800-241-3333 or at www.ritzcarlton.com, and more information is available here.

And though this appears to be Charlotte's first convention-specific business promotion, the thousands of visitors and millions of dollars expected to be spent in the city are sure to touch every aspect of retail business in Charlotte. Have you seen any other convention-themed deals, or do you have any ideas for a good one?
