Tourism board reports new marketing pushes, updated logo and event support
Summary
Tourism staff updated commissioners on ad placements in regional and national outlets, a refreshed Randolph County logo and QR-enabled materials, expanded festival listings, new visitor guides and a small event fund to support local festivals and promotions.
Angie Martin and Jim Nunez delivered a six‑month tourism update to the Randolph County commissioners, describing new marketing and outreach efforts intended to attract visitors to county attractions and events.
Martin said the office placed advertising in outlets including USA Today Midwest Escape, Compass Ohio and Travel Indiana, and updated the county logo and printed materials with QR codes that link to the tourism website. "We've been trying to get Randolph County back out there," Martin said, summarizing the push to increase visibility.
She listed local promotions and event support: advertising for the Speedway, a Sweet Temptations food trail, an updated visitor’s guide planned for next year, festival-guide entries and a mechanism for event organizers to request small marketing funds from the tourism board. Martin asked commissioners to send event information to the tourism office so county events can be promoted and kept current on the website.
Commissioners thanked the presenters and encouraged continued outreach to towns and volunteer board representation from all county areas to improve information flow and event promotion.
