A Local Visibility Board in a local restaurant, with daily specials above and six ad spaces below

Here's what a board looks like.

Daily specials up top, six ad spaces along the bottom. Your ad sits right beside the specials guests are already reading.

Sample ads shown for illustration.

How It Works

A simple, one-time reservation, then your ad does the work for a full year.

STEP 1

Send a Reservation Request

Fill out the form below and tell us a bit about your business. We follow up personally within a day or two. A request holds your place in line, it is not yet a confirmed placement.

STEP 2

We Confirm Your Placement

We agree on your host location and get your artwork right for your 7" x 5" space. Your placement is confirmed once location, artwork and go-live date are settled.

STEP 3

Your Ad Goes Up

Your ad is printed into a fixed, dedicated spot on a Local Visibility Board at a high-traffic local business.

STEP 4

You Get Seen, All Year

Your ad stays in that spot for 12 months, seen by customers who are already walking through the door.

Where Your Ad Will Be Seen

Local Visibility Boards are placed at high-traffic local businesses, mostly restaurants, plus a mix of other spots where people linger, across Bradenton and Manatee County, Sarasota County, and Pinellas County. Real foot traffic and real dwell time, not a passing glance. As boards go live, we'll confirm your exact host location with you before your ad is printed.

The Board & Your Ad Space

Every Local Visibility Board has room at the top for the restaurant's daily specials and community news, which gives guests a reason to look at it every visit. Along the bottom are six dedicated ad spaces. One business per space and one ad per industry, for a full year, not a rotating slideshow of competitors.

Questions, answered

The boards aren't up yet, why reserve now?

We're placing our first boards now. Founding advertisers get first pick of spots and the $750 rate for their first 12-month term. Reserving today means you're first in line as each board goes live.

Is sending the form a confirmed placement?

Not yet. The form is a reservation request. Your placement is confirmed once we agree on your host location, your artwork, and your go-live date.

Which businesses will host the boards?

Mostly restaurants, plus a mix of other high-traffic local businesses, across Bradenton and Manatee County, Sarasota County, and Pinellas County. We'll confirm your exact host location with you before your ad is printed.

Will my competitors be on the same board?

No. Each board is industry exclusive, with one ad per industry. If you are the plumber, roofer, or realtor on a board, you are the only one.

What if all six spots on a board are taken?

We'll place you on the next available board near you, or let you know your options so you can decide what works best for you.

Can I advertise on more than one board?

Yes. Buy a space on two separate boards and get 50% off your ad on a third board.

Can I get a double-space ad?

Yes. You can purchase two ad spaces on the same board to give your ad more room.

Can I purchase ads on boards in different locations?

Yes. Buy space on two separate boards and we'll put your ad on a third board at 50% off.

What happens after I submit the form?

I'll personally follow up within a day or two to confirm your placement, walk through your artwork, and get you scheduled.

Who is behind the boards?
