Smaller Is Better!There are many small towns in Western Canada that are facing uncertain futures. Many have already disappeared off the map. The young people just keep moving away to seek jobs and futures in urban centres.
Building a strengthened and broadened economic base is the key to reversing this trend. It can be done. Parts of Canada and the U.S. have already seen a trend toward 'decentralization' of industries into smaller, rural areas. But it doesn't happen all by itself. It needs work and smart marketing.
The function of marketing is no longer restricted solely to business. A growing number of community leaders have realized that their towns must be sold to potential 'customers'.Small Towns - Big AdvantagesEvery small community has a set of unique advantages to offer - the challenge is sorting it all out and coming up with real value that will appeal to the right individual, organization, or company.
There are many examples of places that have 'packaged up' their advantages to fit with the needs of companies and people, to attract them to put down roots in their community.
Each situation is different, but the principles of good marketing can - and should - be applied to every one of them. |
