Economic Development Marketing FAQs
What does an economic development marketing and communications firm do?
It helps communities communicate their advantages to prospective businesses and explain economic development priorities to local audiences. At 30|90 Marketing, our services include community and site marketing, project announcements, investor and member communications, community engagement, presentations, and strategic planning.
How does communications support site selection?
Communications makes the information prospects need easier to find and evaluate. Well-organized websites, community profiles, site materials, and presentations help companies and consultants understand a community's workforce, infrastructure, available properties, and quality of life. Consistent messaging also helps local partners present a coordinated community story during prospect meetings and site visits.
How can an economic development organization build community support for a project?
Begin early with complete information and opportunities for input. Explain the proposed project, anticipated benefits, public commitments, and decision process. Address questions directly, distinguish projections from confirmed commitments, and keep residents and community leaders informed as the project develops. 30|90 supports that work through messaging, presentations, engagement materials, and coordinated outreach.
How should an EDO announce a new project?
Start with a coordinated plan among the company and its public and private partners. Confirm what can be released, establish the announcement timeline, approve project figures and quotes, and prepare consistent materials for media, officials, and other audiences. The announcement should explain the investment, its significance, and the community strengths that helped attract it.
How do economic development organizations keep private investors engaged?
Give investors a consistent view of progress, priorities, and the role their support plays. Share project updates, explain how activities advance the organization's strategy, recognize participation, and create opportunities for direct engagement. 30|90 develops the communications and materials that keep those connections active.
