Macoupin Made is MEDP’s enhanced Shop Local effort; as we like to call it ‘Macoupin Matters on steroids’. Macoupin Matters, which began July of 2010 was the county’s first shop local awareness campaign to encourage its residents to ‘Shop Your Hometown First, Shop Your County Second’. Under the heading of Macoupin Matters, Macoupin Made looks to create awareness (both inside and outside of Macoupin) of those entities that create, manufacture, distribute and grow products or goods in Macoupin County.
Through events/exhibits, regional advertising placement and educational opportunities, we look to connect consumers with the best local creations Macoupin has to offer. Our vision is for Macoupin to become a holistic, self-sustainable destination place in which people enjoy the fruits of its labor.
