This is going to be a live, online, call-in talk show that will feature Michigan businesses, products, services, non-profit organizations, and people of interest. Our core mission really is to highlight Michigan's greatest resource-her people. No partisan politics. No arguments. No nonsense. You'll hear first-hand accounts from the people who are the real backbone of this great state and making a difference. Our first guests will be Barry Stutesman from Michigan Magazine, Mark Lane from Goodwill Industries of Greater Detroit; and Laura Caprara of the Grand Rapids Social Diary.

Randy's Granola Gets ROI with MiMM

At the Made in Michigan Movement, we are constantly looking to increase the value of our membership package for our Premium Business Members. We want to invest in those who invest in us. We sent a survey out a few months ago to gather information from our members. As an incentive to complete the survey, one company was randomly selected and rewarded with a 30-day advertising spot on the Made in Michigan Movement's homepage. The advertising spot carried a value of $360 and was 100% visible. Randy's Granola paid $149 to become a Premium Business Member and in less than six months has already seen a 141% return on investment by becoming a Premium Business Member. Premium Business Membership has its advantages.
