The Committee concluded that the brochure needs to be focused primarily on the business people, but also towards the residents. The cover of the marketing brochure was discussed at length. The Committee needs to try and decide what five (5)to six(6) things should be on the cover that would appeal to the business people. Some of the options that were considered were; pictures in a collage; such as Bethel College, Lake Johanna etc., a square map of the City with a few businesses in the background; such as Control Data, CPI, etc., The Committee decided to write letters to some of the bigger companies in Arden Hills asking them if they have any pictures of their company, that we could use for the marketing brochure.
