It <br />is anticipated that these will be emailed out for feedback prior to next month’s meeting. <br /> <br />4.5 Additional Marketing Strategy <br /> <br /> Josh shared that staff was interested in running a full-page ad for the Star News to feature a “support local” <br />theme and allow businesses to have a small ad within the full-page ad. A single full-page ad would cost <br />$1,581.30 and Josh advised that staff propose Together Elk River pay for roughly three quarters and <br />businesses would split the remainder reducing the cost barrier to advertising. <br /> <br /> The committee was open to moving forward with an ad. <br /> <br />4.6 General Business and Upcoming Activities <br /> <br /> Due to lack of time to review this item, it was not discussed. <br /> <br />5.
