The 2013 Best of Ypsilanti Guide came off the press on a cold, crisp January day in the heart of Detroit.
We printed 35,000 copies with Inland Press.
My marketing assistant and website contractor also helped with the launch of visitypsinow.com/discover to accompany and expand on the print piece in an easily accessible digital format.
The 2014 guide was expanded by eight pages to include an outdoor recreation section and an index.
