IV. MARKETING PLAN UPDATE
In May, staff presented to the Village Board recommendations for a Branding and Imaging
Campaign and an Action Plan for Marketing the Village. Based on interviews and
workshops, several "Brand Strategy" concepts were developed and the final strategy
presented to the Village Board was "Mount Prospect: Right Place, Right Time." The logo
image and tag line "Be A Part of It" were also presented at that time. There was discussion
among the Village Board with regard to the proposed tag line to be used in the campaign.
Staff was asked to issue a survey to obtain the public's feedback on the tag line to be used.
Staff created and distributed the survey from May - August to the community at-large as well
as the business community. Staff will present results of the survey to the Village Board for
their discussion and final determination on the tag line to be used in the Marketing
Campaign.
Staff will also provide an update on the Marketing efforts to date, as well as a preview of Fall
and Winter events and a look ahead to initiatives planned for 2009.
