Title: Nebraska Nice
Post by: Gary on May 08, 2014, 09:31:11 PM
That is the new tourism catch phrase.  Our tax money funded a $75,000 study to come up with

Nebraska Nice

 :) ;) :D ;D :( :o

I couldn't believe it myself.  Must be the new common core education.
I grew up with Nebraska being The Good Life.  And Kansas the Land Of Ahhs!   
Catchy,recognizable, and descriptive.
NICE!  WTH does that supposed to mean?

NEBRASKA:
Nice Car?
Nice Gun?
Nice Arse?
Nice ??

If they mean Nice as in Kind, they have never tried to drive across Lincoln, especially on game day.  All for one, All for ME!

It took nine months of intense research, surveys, consultants, discussion, interviews, a branding company and a marketing firm,  and a price tag of $75,000.


Why the fuss, that's only $37,500 per word...      ::)

Agreed. This is the result of the Nebraska Tourism Commission being spun off from the Department of Economic Development. They persuaded people, including almost the entire legislature, that the governor and the agency leadership were holding back their tourism promotion activities and that they needed more autonomy in spending state tourism dollars. They got their independent commission, and this is what they did with it.

Other options better than "Nice"
Nebraska low unemployment
Nebraska, we've got corn and cows
Nebraska, farmin'
Nebraska, we're rednecks, but at least we aren't Missouri
Nebraska, we have more people than South Dakota
Nebraska, I can see Iowa form my house (this one might not work for the entire state, but others could see South Dakota, Missouri, Colorado Kansas etc)
Nebraska, pleasant
Nebraska.....okay.......
Nebraksa, lots of rivers
Nebraska, Council Bluff is part of Iowa

What's really weird about it is, it's not quite accurate. Sure, we're nice, but it's not our forte. Having lived in the South and in Texas, those are places where southern charm and hospitality really are evident.

Nebraskans inherited more of a Teutonic love of efficiency, work ethic, stoicism and and respect for rule of law. But just like you'll never see a slogan that says, "Germany... Nice!" (maybe, "Germany... Pick up after your scheiß dog!") it doesn't fit here any better.

"Nebraska. Git-R-Done."  Pay Larry $75k for the rights. See how easy that was? And more in line with our state's ethos.

I'd gladly give up Omaha in trade for Carter Lake.
