Additionally, we plan to enhance our digital, social, and mobile marketing capabilities to significantly boost the sales of small, local, and family-owned businesses as we, simultaneously, help individuals save money on services, products, and more.
What was one of the best articles you published in the past year?
Our editorial for Crane Watch Club was one of our best editorials published in the past year because of its simple, yet elegant design layout that perfectly complements its corresponding article and high-quality photographs. The straightforward, yet stunning, two-page spread immediately catches the reader’s eye. Additionally, the bright, beautiful photos reinforce the message of the well-written editorial copy, further encouraging readers to visit the golf club.
Best cover of past year?
Our Hobe Sound Living front cover for Diamonds by Terry is our best of 2022 because it is immediately intriguing and enchanting. The photograph of the glittering jewelry on the attractive woman inspires our readers to replicate that luxurious look and feeling by visiting the jeweler. Furthermore, this cover says what Diamonds by Terry is all about without including a bunch of text or extraneous information. The high-resolution picture is, truly, worth a thousand words.
