South Dakota biz journal undergoes redesign

The Sioux Falls Business Journal in South Dakota on Wednesday launched a revamped website and expanded distribution of its redesigned print product.

The Argus Leader, the daily paper in Sioux Falls that owns the business journal, writes, “Carriers on Wednesday delivered 3,550 free copies of the Sioux Falls Business Journal to 648 businesses. There also will be about 400 copies placed on free racks throughout Sioux Falls, Kueter said.

“‘We’re trying to engage the business community more often with news, all designed to expand our business reporting footprint in this community,’ Kueter said.

“The new website also links to the Sioux Falls Area Chamber of Commerce website.

“Chamber President and CEO Evan Nolte hopes the changes will increase communication throughout the business community.

“‘It brings to the business community lots of great information about companies, developments and features that just really improve the perception and the reality of the significance of this community as a place to do business,’ Nolte said.”
