Free specials boards in St. Petersburg
One of the strongest independent business cultures in Florida.
Few cities in Florida have a stronger independent business culture. The Grand Central District, the EDGE District, Central Avenue and the 4th Street corridor are packed with owner-operated restaurants, breweries, coffee shops and studios.
St. Pete's craft brewery scene alone justifies the drive. Taprooms already run chalkboards for their tap lists, so a professionally built board is an upgrade to an existing habit rather than a new ask — one of the easiest yeses we get anywhere.
The audience here skews younger, more social and heavily loyal to local, which suits advertisers in food, fitness, personal services and trades aimed at first-time homeowners.
Three steps, and the venue never opens their wallet
We place the board
We find a St. Petersburg business with a good wall and real foot traffic, and agree on where the board hangs. Nothing is printed yet.
Six neighbors sign on
We fill the six advertising spots with local businesses — no national chains, no competing categories on the same board.
We build and hang it
Custom board, printed advertiser panel, professionally mounted. We come back to check on it and keep it looking right.
