New Year Greetings!
The 2010 Visitors Guide is hot off the press! This guide
features listings of attractions, hotels, restaurants, shopping
and personal services throughout Pulaski County. These guides
are distributed to Visitors that specifically request information
on our area from advertising they have seen, from visiting
our website or phone calls received in office. They are also
distributed at our center, welcome and visitors centers throughout
the state as well as at tradeshows that we attend. In 2009
29,982 guides were handed out.
In 2009 we also rolled out our new website and community
calendar. We introduced Travel Bingo and several traveling
game downloads, built a strong group tour program, expanded
our souvenirs sales and attended 23 tradeshows as well as
hosted an overnight for Missouri Showcase.
Speaking of the new website...don't forget we have an Industry
section to the site that is just for our tourism partners.
This area is accessed with a log on and password (The phone
number we have on file for your business, xxx-xxx-xxxx,, and
the password" partner")and you are able to download
forms, review board minutes and our 2010 marketing plan, or
if you are looking for presentations on orienting your staff
on tourism issues, or learn how to make a brochure or the
importance of gathering data or research on your customer
base…The Industry section is where it's at!
We are excited for the new year to begin with new programs
and fresh approaches to promoting tourism in Pulaski County.
We will be introducing an interactive component to our tradeshows,
direct mailing campaigns to our group tour leads. Be sure
to watch for several other programs that will be introduced
in the spring.
Hopefully things have quieted down for a few weeks and if
so, take a moment to stop in the center and see what we have
to offer. Yes, we meet and greet visitors to the area, or
those traveling through, but we are also a great resource
for our locals. People are always amazed when they stop in
and see what all we do offer.
Event Planners! Don't forget that the Bureau offers a Cooperative
Marketing Grant. This 50/50 grant program is available to
help you with advertising and marketing costs that promote
your events held in Pulaski County. Forms are available through
email or by download from VisitPulaskiCounty.org.
We will be scheduling a 1 hour workshop in March to review
the program and give you an opportunity to ask questions.
The Pulaski County Tourism Bureau Board and staff wish you
a prosperous 2010!
Keeping in touch,
