Let Strand Magazine Reach Your Market

If reaching tourists is your goal, Strand Magazine is a must in your marketing plans. Exciting new editorial styles, fresh designs and creative ideas present beneficial opportunities for advertisers. By publishing new issues three times a year, Strand Magazine allows you to target different demographics with your advertising.

A timely calendar of events, as well as informational editorial on the seasonal festivals and current events, entice the Grand Strand vacationer as well as the “locals” to pick up Strand Magazine. Ads and important information are easily updated three times a year. With an excellent distribution team, Strand Magazine promises to reach the visitor in highly visible locations from Ocean Isle to Georgetown.

Established, Believable, Proven… Strand Magazine will continue to serve the Grand Strand vacationer, with enhanced features and more issues. We are certain you will agree that Strand Magazine truly is your Grand Strand tourist connection!

Is the tourist market important to you? Of course it is… but how do you reach vacationers in a cost-effective, targeted way? And which publication offers the credibility of proven success the tourists seek when deciding how to spend their vacation dollars?

There are several competing publications along the Grand Strand today. But, they reach only narrow slices of the market with generic content and limited exposure for the targeted demographics of your business. Only Strand Magazine can capture and deliver this lucrative market in a multi-faceted, response-oriented approach that other publications simply can’t match!

A Grand Strand institution since 1986, Strand Magazine reflects the essence of Myrtle Beach and the surrounding areas. It tells the Grand Strand’s story the way it should be told.
