EDM specializes in researching markets, developing strategic plans, and then implementing effective marketing and promotions campaigns that produce results - Qualified Prospects you can work with to attract to your area!

"I was skeptical at first. After all what is a 'qualified lead'? After having personally visited the first six companies, I am not a skeptic anymore. You did an excellent job qualifying each of the companies. All were interested in talking with us and each is going to be making a move. You did your part. Now it's up to us to translate those great leads into results.”

Marketing and Promotions


Strategic Planning
Utilizing the information obtained from market research and strategic planning, EDM implements an effective multi-channel marketing campaign directed at your target markets to generate quality, qualified prospects.


Market Research
Once your most valuable assets have been uncovered and specific target industries and geographic locations have been determined, EDM develops a strategic plan of action to ensure you are able to attract businesses to your area. EDM develops a strategic plan of action that positions your location as the ideal location for your target markets and provides a step by step plan that produces results.

EDM begins the business attraction effort for your area with a thorough analysis of your location to determine your most valuable assets, areas of weaknesses, opportunities for growth, and most importantly “what you have to offer”. EDM then applies the information uncovered to determine the most appropriate target industries and geographic regions that are compatible to your location.
