If you’re thinking of moving your business to the Tampa Bay area, you’ll find it’s a great place for business. And one thing you’ll need to consider is marketing. While you might have some ideas about how to market your business, you’ll be starting fresh in a new city and it helps to have an idea of what the local advertising options are. Below are a few options to consider when looking at advertising locally in the Tampa Bay area.
Local Radio
Tampa Bay is home to a number of radio stations that provide a great reach into the Tampa community. Depending on who you’d like to target, Tampa Bay offers a diverse array of stations. From Mix 100.7, which has a broad appeal, to WQYK country, which has a more niche appeal and my personal favorite, there are so many options to choose from when designing your local media plan.
Local newspapers
For most companies, the first place that comes to mind when they think of local advertising is the newspaper. Tampa Bay’s newspaper, the Tampa Bay Times, is an award-winning newspaper that serves the broader Tampa Bay community. It’s a great way to get in front of a large number of people in Tampa.
Digital advertising
Digital media has advanced a great deal in the last several years, and now many digital advertising opportunities allow you to segment by geography. On one hand, you can advertise on local media web sites like the Tampa Bay Times web site. But with bigger, global sites, you can make your money go even farther – sites like Facebook allow very targeted reach for nominal advertising prices. I find Twitter to be an effective marketing tool for driving new prospects to my website. Social media platforms can be overwhelming for the small business owner, but I have found that it is best practice to focus on 2 or 3 and get really good at those before venturing into other platforms.
