Michigan.org breaks record for traffic for second time in three days

The state of Michigan launched a marketing effort that seems to be paying off. For the second time in three days Michigan.org, a Web site spotlighting the states tourism opportunities, broke its records in traffic.

Excerpt:

"Obviously, our Pure Michigan marketing effort is rapidly building momentum and is driving a record number of potential visitors to michigan.org," said George Zimmermann, Vice President of Travel Michigan, a business unit of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation.

More Web traffic means more business at Michigan destinations."

A television ad spotlighting Michigan's world-class golf debuted in April, while the remainder of the campaign launched in Chicago, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton, St. Louis, Milwaukee and Ontario, Canada, plus in Michigan, in May. Pure Michigan commercials can be viewed online at michigan.org/travelads.
