Middlesex tourism team outlines kiosk rollout, $15,000 media contract and website relaunch
Summary
At the May 11 EDA meeting, a tourism presenter described a phased digital kiosk deployment, a $15,000 videography/photography contract, a planned website relaunch and possible quarterly newsletter to boost the River Realm "Do the Loop" campaign.
Ms. Law provided the Economic Development Authority with an update on Middlesex County tourism efforts, highlighting the River Realm "Do the Loop" campaign and an awarded $15,000 contract for videography and photography to support promotional materials. She described a planned website redesign and relaunch and suggested starting a quarterly newsletter to improve communications with visitors and industry partners.
Ms. Law said new digital tabletop visitor kiosks have been placed at Hummel Field Terminal and the Chesapeake Inn and that the marketing team plans a phased rollout to gateway and lodging partners, with possible temporary "floaters" deployed at signature events. Executive Director Trenton Funkhouser and Ms. Law discussed logistics for kiosk placement, the need for personal identifiers on devices, and the potential to include advertising as part of the kiosk model. The board accepted the report and noted the marketing work as a step to increase visitation and event awareness in Middlesex County.
