Here’s a terrific poster I saw in Dodge City, Kansas.
Turning around the phrase, “Get the heck out of Dodge,” the Dodge City/Ford County Development Corporation has “Get the heck into Dodge!”
Ten bonus points for their excellent website address: DodgeCityHasJobs.com – Their whole site gives a wonderful impression of the community and their current economic strength.
It’s a good example of taking a seemingly negative phrase and making it positive. It’s also a good example of going with what you’re known for, at the same time that you build a new perception. The website showcases the early history alongside the current economy.

Love it. Its even more reader-friendly than the Dodge City CVB site.
It’s definitely reader friendly.

I know I don’t make a very big deal of it, but there is one tiny link in the sidebar, under “our publications.”
Thanks for asking!
Clever marketing at it’s best for sure.
Ricardo, I do love a clever idea. Especially when you can turn around a potential negative.
