Heaps of praise
By Barbara Soderlin
Recently I talked to two out-of-staters bringing their businesses here to western South Dakota, an arms accessories manufacturer and a maker of bowhunting supplies. They both couldn’t stop talking about how great our state and city were to work with as far as helping them get their business set up here. And they both said they plan to tell other business owners about our business climate. It seems to be a good lesson in the power of networking and word of mouth. Ben Snow, our economic development director in Rapid, has said he hopes to play up our business climate to tourists, hoping they will take the word back home with them, and then consider moving their own businesses here.
Anyone else move here because of something great they heard about South Dakota?
