3- It has been suglested that a new direction be taken for the
Committee's Advertising Strategy. In the past ads were placed
in different professional magazi es. Result~from the ads were
minimal with virtually no develo ent as a result.
This new direction is direot mail advertising. The Committee
established a General Mailing i its 1983 Action Plan. The Mailing
consisted of approximately 2500 usinesses in and around the Metro
area.
We have already been contacted y a N.E. Minneapolis metal manu-
facturing firm that is thinking about relocating in Monticello.
This firm, Nystrom, Inc., manuf ~tures access panels for indust-
rial type buildings.
.
The cost of each mailing will b approximately $600. Thus, we could
have 4 mailings per year direct d at specific areas of interest.
For example; T.I.F., Taxes, Lea e Buy-Back Arrangements, etc.
