The guide will be released in on November 15th and will be heavily promoted through 12/31.

  • Prominent placement on our website (over 20k visitors per month)
  • Distribution via email to our subscribers (over 2,600 subscribers)
  • Distribution through our Facebook page (over 15k followers / 96k monthly reach)

Requirements:

  • Every business claiming a free listing must include an offer or discount. You’re free to add an expiration date.
    (ex. “Mention Discover Bradenton and receive 10% off your order. Cannot be combined with any other offers. Expires 12/31/2022)

    It doesn’t have to be a big discount! You can do something like $5 off, free gift wrapping, a special discount day, or a free gift with purchase — feel free to use your imagination! (Note, if you purchase a full-page ad or article, you don’t have to include a discount — unless you want to!)

  • If you purchase a 2-page article, please provide images and a rough draft of the information you would like to include no later than 10/30.
  • Every participant must share the final gift guide on at least one of their social media platforms.
