The Only One campaign consists of several marketing and advertising strategies implemented by the City of Allegan's Economic Development Corporation. Because the economies of Michigan and the entire United States continue to decline, the Allegan EDC realized it needed to do something to make Allegan and what it has to offer to potential residents stand out. The answer is the Only One Allegan campaign.

The campaign hopes to attract, retain, and inform potential and current residents about why Allegan is a great place to live and work. Additionally, the Only One Allegan campaign is a convenient way for potential visitors to get a sneak peek of what Allegan has to offer to them.
The key aspect of the campaign is the Only One Allegan video. Intended to attract people looking to move to West Michigan and to encourage people who work in Allegan to move their families to Allegan, video segments highlight the history, natural beauty and resources, downtown, public health, education, public safety, and more that make Allegan a great place to live.

"Allegan is truly unique. Allegan offers opportunities for all in a safe environment rich with nature's bounty," said Rob Hillard, Allegan City Manager, "While the economy continues to slip, some businesses in Allegan are actually expanding; the Only One campaign hopes to encourage new employees to choose to also live in Allegan."

A DVD of the video will be offered for distribution through human resources offices at Allegan based businesses and handed out at real estate offices, and video chapters may be viewed online at the Only One Allegan website, www.onlyoneallegan.com
