MARKETING STRATEGY <br />For the past couple years the EDA has been working towards a Marketing Strategy for the City. It is <br />also a goal of the EDA for 2007. Staff presented what Hugo is doing for a marketing tool and what <br />other Cities are doing to promote themselves. Attached were ideas that the EDA had in 2005 for a <br />Marketing Program for the City. Staff recommended that the EDA discuss what kind of marketing <br />they would like for the City and give direction to Staff. <br />Arcand stated that having the EDA have its own section on the City website is a good idea. Granger <br />stated that the attached spreadsheet was good and provides information on what the EDA has thought <br />of in the past. Bever stated that we should be taking before and after pictures of what is going on in <br />Hugo. <br />Miron stated that for the EDA marketing strategy staff should concentrate on the website and keeping <br />it up to date. We could possibly look for funding and work with the HBA. <br />Arcand suggested that we work with the school district on finding a student to help the EDA portions <br />of the website. Denaway suggested using Gov Delivery on the Gov Office website manager. <br />Bever stated that the entry signs to the City are important. <br />Staff was directed to draft a spread sheet for the EDA Marketing Strategy. <br />UPDATE ON 2008 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PUBLIC WORKSHOP <br />There is a Public Workshop for the 2008 Comprehensive Plan on Thursday, April 26, 2007.
