We’ve left a portion of the map's back cover blank and are offering this space for you to advertise your business.

What’s in it for you? A product that will have staying power in your client’s hands, with your company’s logo, phone, website, etc. printed on the back cover.

What’s in it for us? We’ve invested a lot in the development of the product – you can help us get it into the hands of people all over the area.

How does it work? We've paid for the development of the map, and are not passing that cost on to you. You pay only for the actual cost of printing the map, in whatever quantity you choose. Minnehaha Creek Watershed District is not selling advertising or making any profit by partnering with you on the map. You will pay the printer directly for the set-up costs and map printing costs. No money will exchange hands between you and Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. We will help you work with the printer to set up your logo and other information. We also offer help in creating a 'water quality friendly' tag line for your business!

How much will it cost? Because of printer's volume discounts, the map price will vary depending on how many maps are ordered. Individual maps will cost between $0.50 and $0.80 (or less), plus packaging and shipping (varies by quantity). In addition, there will be a setup fee of $280 to add your logo/design to the map. Professional design of your space is available from the printer for an additional fee. Because you are paying for the setup fee, your net per-map cost goes down as you order more maps.
