Transit Commission orders 1,000 magnets for back-to-school outreach
Summary
The commission approved ordering 1,000 printed magnets with the transit phone number for the back-to-school bash; bulk cost for the order was reported at about $446 plus roughly $53 shipping, totaling just over $500.
The Merrill Transit Commission approved a purchase of 1,000 promotional magnets for the city’s back-to-school outreach at its June meeting.
Staff presented two proofs and recommended the design with the large transit image and phone number. Costing presented at the meeting showed a bulk price of $446 for 1,000 magnets and shipping estimated at about $53, making the total just over $500. The commission voted to purchase the 1,000 magnets and said they could be used for a variety of outreach activities through the year.
Commissioners discussed which proof to select and the utility of including the phone number on the design so residents can more easily contact the transit system. The magnets are expected to arrive in time for the August back-to-school event, which staff said will be held at the Enrichment Center this year.
