As a centerpiece
of the RCGA’s website, www.gotostlouis.org
is the primary communication and sales tool designed to reach key
economic development audiences with a combination of business and
lifestyle information. It’s easy-to-navigate format provides a balanced
picture of St. Louis with rich data and striking visuals.
The site appeals to both a business audience—including site selection
consultants, real estate managers, entrepreneurs—and potential employers,
as well as to individuals considering relocating to the area.
The website tells the story of how Greater St. Louis offers a remarkable
blend of features from a skilled workforce and exceptional cost
of living, to great cultural and educational institutions. All of
this rich data and information is in one place on the website.
Site selection searches always start and often end on a website.
That’s why it is so crucial for the website to provide a balance
of comprehensive and current statistical data and business-related
information, as well as a glimpse into the personality of the St.
Louis region.
The opening page of the website provides information on such topics
as Economic Development touting
the big-city assets of a broadly talented work force, great cultural
and educational institutions and superb recreational opportunities,
with another button featuring Public Policy
for regional legislative programs. And a Surprising
St. Louis button for the region’s nationally acclaimed
quality of life including parks and recreational opportunities.
From a business standpoint, the site covers everything from major
employers to the top five industry clusters including Plant & Medical
Sciences, Manufacturing, Information Technology, Transportation
and Financial Services.
Entrepreneurship and technology are highlighted, along with venture
capital sources and taxes and incentives from both Missouri and
Illinois. The website details how St. Louis is business friendly,
with information on location and economic diversity.
Information on neighborhoods, cost of living, climate, healthcare
and education is all covered. Additionally, details on professional
sports, parks, golf courses, outdoor activities and cultural attractions
can be found.
Maintaining the site and keeping all of the information current
and up-to-date is a high priority for the RCGA. A tracking system
is also in place to monitor results from the number of hits the
site gets to the most popular parts of the site.
The opening
page of the website provides a
variety of options, from big-city assets to RCGA events,
to
Commerce Magazine and so much more.
