DESCRIPTION
This presentation before the Breathitt County civic leadership illustrates the value of small business digital marketing through a number of case studies executed over a five year period in the Kentucky River Area Development District (KRADD). The final case studies were developed after faculty and student travels and observations of the HandMade in America trails in Western North Carolina to advance travel and tourism through a series of “persona travelers” based on Kentucky tourism research of how and where to spend 36 hours in the KRADD region.TRANSCRIPT
