Marketing Program

Purpose:

Marketing oversees a comprehensive marketing, advertising and public relations program designed to promote elements relating to economic development and diversification, and to coordinate the external message of CED's divisions.


Advertising and promotional materials are produced for use in print and electronic media and targeted trade shows, and to answer inquiries from both domestic and foreign companies.

Key Long-Term Objectives:

Develop and implement a strategic public relations initiative directed toward attractingto Nevada both national and international corporate investment.

Produce and publish a newly-designed newsletter for use both inside and outside Nevada highlighting programs and accomplishments in the State’s diversification efforts.

Work with CED rural economic development on a marketing plan specifically focused on rural Nevada promotion.

Accomplishments:

During the past biennium, costly publications were replaced with CED’s new web site. The agency’s site, www.expand2nevada.com, provides information about all of CED’s programs and hot links to the home pages of the agency partners (B&I, DETR, SOS, Taxation). The web site addresses all aspects of doing business in Nevada and answers questions about the quality of life in the Silver State.

Additionally, a new marketing strategy has generated brochures for each of CED’s programs and targeted industries. The collateral pieces – in conjunction with postcards and print advertising in regional and national markets – all direct the reader back to our web site.

Medical manufacturing, electronics, and plastics were targeted industries for trade shows during the past biennium. The agency acts as the host for Nevada when attending trade shows. All of the trade show’s arrangements are made by the state and regional development authorities are invited to attend.
