Subject: 2016 Minnesota Economic Development Guide Advertisement
The EDA has a portion of its budget set aside annually for marketing opportunities. One such
opportunity is an advertisement in the 2016 Minnesota Economic Development Guide
sponsored by Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED).
A full-page, full-color advertisement in the Guide was purchased in July 2015 at a cost of
$5,575. The cost includes an online ad as well. The final proof of both ads is attached. These
are low-resolution proofs as they were sent to us via email. The print and online
advertisements will be high-quality.
The ad is to be placed at what is considered a “premium” location in the magazine—opposite
the title page of the magazine’s “Business Climate” section.
The Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development will use this magazine
as a primary marketing tool to recruit and attract business into Minnesota.
The magazine is distributed to chief executive officers, site selectors, relocation professionals,
and consultants. More than 1,000 companies are targeted for direct mailing. In addition,
copies are also distributed at various trade shows and conferences throughout the year by
DEED and included in all responses to requests for information received by DEED.
We have been told to expect publication of the magazine in October. In addition to the print
publication, there is a digital/tablet magazine which allows our advertisement to be marketed
through multiple media platforms. Our online display ad will be located on the Minnesota
portion of the website www.businessclimate.com.
The online magazine for Minnesota is not yet available, however here is a digital magazine
example: http://businessclimate.com/illinois-economic-development/magazine
Copies of the magazine will be distributed to EDA members when they are received.
