SWFBT looks back at 2025, ahead to 2026
For Southwest Florida, it’s once again, been quite a year. And, no matter what, since time always marches forward, here we are looking at the holidays AND the final issue of Southwest Florida Business Today (SWFBT) for 2025: we’re now in our 19th year of publication!
SWFBT is “wrapping up” this year with its annual big finish, including your Hurricane survival and success stories (since now we’ve experienced several in the past few years!), in our “Looking Back, Looking Ahead” edition. High resolution photos are welcome, no web images please. 300 words.
Print ad opportunities for this issue are available at these discounted rates. Ads pay for editorial space—and we want to run as many of these editorial contributions as possible. The 4-color ad prices for this edition are as follows—
Full page: $1030 (10 in wide by 16 in high)
Half page: $695 (10 in wide by 8 in high or 5 in wide by 16 in high)

So share your year-end “business wrap-up” and 2026 “business forecast” with the local business community (300 words)–it’s coming up fast with a guest column deadline of 5pm Wednesday November 5 and an ad proof and space reservation deadline of 5pm Friday November 7. I can take system ready ad material up till noon Monday, November 10.

Let’s all remember to take some time to reflect and be thankful this month.
