Using County Publication Allocation Funds for Marketing Items

The county publication allocation is an annual dollar amount distributed by the Associate Director of Extension and Applied Research, and maintained by K-State Research and Extension's Department of Communications.

The allocation provides funds to purchase publications and other materials needed for programs or for general distribution. In 2005, the allocation was expanded to cover all items and services provided and billed to county/district offices by the Department of Communications, including numbered publications, newsletter design, printing and mailing, editing, video tapes, CDs and DVDs, teleconferencing; marketing items, and more.

Allocations can not be used for publications and items that are printed or sold by other departments. Items such as pins, ear tags and other 4-H project materials are billed through the 4-H Foundation and are not eligible for allocation purchases. Items that are printed or manufactured by a non-university facility, such as banners or building signs, are ineligible - although staff in the Department of Communications can assist you with design and ordering.

For a complete list of marketing items available through the Department of Communications, go to marketing and click on Marketing Items.

If you have questions about how to use your county's publication allocation, please send an e-mail to Gina Nixon at gnixon@ksu.edu .

Please contact Pat Melgares, melgares@ksu.edu; or Lisa Heller, lheller@ksu.edu ; for questions regarding the marketing items in inventory. --Pat Melgares
