Here we are looking at May–when the nation celebrates small business and its contribution to the growth of the U.S. economy. Here in Southwest Florida, you can be a part of Southwest Florida Business Today’s “Salute To Small Business” FocusFeature in our upcoming May edition, publishing Friday, April 20. Whether you’re a small, medium or large business in this region, be a part of this special tribute to Small Business.

This is an excellent opportunity to let our 25,000 readers know what your business has to offer them. Distribution is to banks and businesses-doing-business-with-other-businesses located in Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Estero, Bonita Springs and Naples. Southwest Florida Business Today (SWFBT) is the only local publication solely devoted to the needs of the local business owner/operator. Why not take advantage of the opportunity to educate area business people more fully about your business in this special edition by writing a guest column about your business?                                                    

While there is no charge for guest column submissions, they run space-available.

Guest column guidelines for this issue are as follows. First, we’re looking for original material. Second, it must have a local angle and be written for the business owner/operator. Third, we would like a 20-30 word “mini-bio” of the author and we will print that in the byline in addition to contact information. If you have a headshot or company photo we can use, that would also be appreciated. The guest column should be around 300 words for this issue. Please send your guest column submission to editor@swfloridabusinesstoday.com. It is due by 5pm W 4/11.                                                                                                      

Send all ad changes or new ads to publisher@swfloridabusinesstoday.com.  

So take advantage of this “golden opportunity” to highlight YOU and YOUR BUSINESS–the  deadline is coming up fast. Guest columns are due by 5pm Wed. April 11: the proof ad deadline is 5pm Fri. April 13. I can accept system ready material up till noon Mon. April 16.
