Site Selection: Share Your Community Assets for Business Relocation ̶ Before Financial Incentives
Businesses will go, and grow, in a community where employees desire to live. The goal of site selection is simple: choose the best location to do business.
At 365° Total Marketing, we assist Economic Development Authorities nationwide through research and marketing to promote and attract businesses to the communities where they will thrive. We help you reach the right businesses, through the right messaging, at the right time.
How much weight should you give to offering a financial incentive for business relocation? Financial incentives can play a role, but the more cost-effective effort to attract new firms into your community is to promote your community for its attributes. Long term, the payoff is much greater.
Here’s how to set the “bar" for a "gain" (Bargain!) by effectively marketing your non-financial incentives to draw site selectors and industry to your community:
