American Quilt Barns

Once the paint is dry and all your quilt squares have been hung -- how are do you persuade tourists to travel to your county to enjoy the trail? Do you have a standard tri-fold brochure, advertize in magazines/newspapers, use the web, outdoor signage, etc.? Do you have a unique marketing strategy that you’d like to share with others? Have you found one method not to be as effective as another?

Since tourists don’t pay attention to lines of jurisdiction - do you partner with adjoining counties/states to encourage tourists to visit your neighbors? Who in your community markets your trail – local volunteer committee, chamber, travel & tourism office, etc.?

I’m simply throwing out ideas to jump-start discussion -- feel free to address any of the questions.
