Send all ad files to publisher@swfloridabusinesstoday.com. Ad specs are available on our website for your reference. We can design your ad for a one-time setup fee starting at $50. 

The ad deadline is coming up quickly–5pm Friday, January 17 is the final proof and space deadline. 

I can take system ready material up till 5pm Monday, January 20. The SWFBT team will be working that day but since January 20 is a holiday, however, please allow for that with your ad submission/production if your business is closed that day. 

You can also share your wisdom with SWFBT’s readers via writing a guest column–at no cost to you! These run space available: we fit as many as we can in to this issue! 
 
Here’s some basic guidelines we follow for guest column submissions: 
 
First, we’re looking for original material. Second, it must have a local angle and be written for the business owner/operator with an educational (not an advertorial) approach. Third, we would like a 20-30 word “mini-bio” of the author as well as contact information. If you have a photo we can use, that would also be appreciated. The average column is around 500 words, but I am open to something more in-depth as well.
 
Please send all guest column submissions to editor@swfloridabusinesstoday.com by 5pm Wednesday, January 15.
 
This is the best opportunity you have all year to participate in a publication focused on educating business owners and managers about your part of the financial industry, and more specifically, YOUR business.
 
We look forward to serving you and the financial industry in 2020!
