LITTLE FALLS, MN, February 18, 2013 (Press-News.org) Rural communities across the nation have witnessed economic benefits from Golden Shovel's innovative website creation, development and management; however, an alternative approach exists for budget-conscious communities that want to remain highly visible.
These regions opt to rely solely upon Golden Shovel's Gatekeeper Social Management Service, which highlights regional attributes through continually updated and strategically planned social media content.
Each month Golden Shovel works with communities to perform analyses of regional attributes, strategize best practices to reach development goals, and train individuals on optimal utilization of social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter. Based on these meetings, original media content is created by Golden Shovel copywriters. Quarterly reports are then maintained in order to facilitate the next round of content.
Discover Southwest Minnesota opted for the Gatekeeper service and has received and maintained a great following on Facebook and Twitter in a short time.
Carl Brinks, Economic Development Authority director for Marshall, MN, believes that "integrating social media within our marketing plan has proven to be beneficial to reach business and networks that we wouldn't have normally reached."
