LANSING – The Michigan Economic Development Corporation issued a Request for Proposal seeking a contractor to partner in its e-commerce Website, puremichiganstore.com, which sells merchandise carrying the Pure Michigan brand with electronic proposal submissions due on Monday, January 23, 2012. 

“The Pure Michigan brand has been an extraordinary success and today is in great demand for apparel and consumer products,” said MEDC President and CEO Michael A. Finney. “We have spread the word of our state across the Great Lakes but have only just begun to touch people across the nation. We need a partner to build on our momentum and increase our capabilities to help consumers find, purchase and enjoy Pure Michigan branded products.”
