Board greenlights several marketing and operations items including RFQ, event platform and billboards
Summary
Emery County Travel Board approved an RFQ for video/photography services (annual cap discussed), renewed an event‑management subscription (~$2,880), and approved production of three Green River billboards; the board also discussed co‑op grant planning and event fundraising priorities.
At its May 13 meeting the Emery County Travel Board approved multiple marketing‑related purchases and authorizations intended to support events, creative production and event ticketing.
Video/photography RFQ: Board members discussed a draft RFQ to create a pool of videography and photography vendors. The draft establishes flexibility to select multiple providers and included a $7,500 spending cap for the year as a working figure. Board members approved the RFQ as presented and staff said the RFQ will be forwarded to the county attorney and then to the commission for final approval.
Event platform renewal: Robin summarized how the event management platform (Aventi) helps with ticketing, vendor communications and analytics; the board approved renewing the annual subscription (roughly $2,880), noting several municipalities and events already use the platform.
Green River billboards: Staff reviewed the MOU with Green River City that allows the county to reskin three city‑owned billboards. Staff shared proposed designs for the two key approaches to Green River (one aimed at travelers coming from the Moab side) and discussed quote details; the board moved and approved production and installation so the design work can proceed toward production.
Co‑op grant and marketing planning: Separately, the board discussed the Utah Office of Tourism co‑op grant (deadline in June) and tentatively prioritized applying for event marketing funds this cycle while planning a longer strategic session in August to develop a multi‑year marketing plan.
The approved items are intended to support upcoming events, enhance digital and out‑of‑home marketing presence, and allow staff to prequalify creative vendors for future projects.
