The Levelland City Council has approved a $35,000 budget for an enhanced marketing campaign aimed at boosting local economic development. During the meeting on July 14, 2024, council members discussed the need for a more robust advertising strategy to attract potential investors and visitors to the city.

The council highlighted the success of the newly developed website, which has garnered significant attention both locally and from outside visitors. However, officials acknowledged that current marketing efforts are limited, primarily consisting of a few ads at local airports and occasional magazine placements. To effectively reach a broader audience, they emphasized the importance of digital marketing, including social media and video content.

Council members expressed the need to explore advertising opportunities in key areas, such as the Dallas-Fort Worth region, to enhance Levelland's visibility. They also discussed the potential for targeted marketing strategies that utilize data analytics to identify and engage specific audiences, rather than relying on traditional advertising methods.

The proposed budget will allow the city to solicit vendors and develop a comprehensive marketing plan that aligns with the community's growth goals. This initiative aims not only to attract industrial investment but also to promote overall development in Levelland.

As the city moves forward with this marketing campaign, officials are optimistic that it will lead to increased interest and investment in the area, ultimately benefiting the local economy and community.
