“For more than two decades, Tampa’s Lowry Park Zoo has partnered with Florida Suncoast Tourism. In addition to the distribution of our rack cards, we have also been successfully involved in several of their programs including the mini-rack brochures and visitor maps. They are reliable, fast and provide top quality products and services that help DRIVE OUR BUSINESS! We would definitely recommend Florida Suncoast Tourism to any business that is trying to build awareness and drive attendance.”

Jason Davis, Director of MarketingLowry Park Zoo has been a consistent client since August 1991

You Can’t Afford NOT to Distribute if you are a Small or Not For Profit Company

“If we could only afford one advertising venue it would be the Florida Suncoast Brochure Racks and their Attractions Map. As a struggling non profit we didn’t feel that we could justify the initial printing costs to join the program, but when we finally committed to it, the results were immediate. We poll all of our visitors as they come through the door and more of them refer to the Florida Suncoast Brochure Racks and Maps than all of our other advertising combined.”

“I find the number of rack card coupons used by our visitors to be astounding – almost 7,500 in the past year making it the number one redeemed coupon. That’s about $120,000 in admissions – not to mention how much is being spent in our restaurants and gift shop! Drake and the others at Florida Suncoast Tourism make it so easy, keeping an inventory and giving us ample time to provide more rack cards when needed. We rely on them to reach both visitors and residents – their distribution points hit the market we are looking for. Cost effective advertising and an incredibly accommodating staff – Florida Suncoast is a no-brainer.”

“By a large margin, the brochure and the MINI brochure are the top two producers of tourism business resulting from advertising!”

“I have been using Florida Suncoast Tourism for 13 great years. Not only do they bring me 80% of my business but were also very helpful throughout the Oilspill lean times. The Miss Pass A Grille business would be nonexistent without their service. I highly recommend Florida Suncoast Tourism Promotions, Inc.”

“Florida Suncoast Tourism Promotions has served as our brochure rack provider here at the Sheraton Sand Key Resort for the last 29 years. In all that time they have continuously done an outstanding job for us. The rack is at all times well supplied and maintained and they always handle any special request we have and are a pleasure to work with. When you think of brochures, Drake Decker and Florida Suncoast Tourism Promotions are number one!”

Charlie Creel, Guest Services ManagerSheraton Sand Key Resort has been a consistent client since Fall 1985

“During the early years, we took our brochures around to places that would allow us and had to continually fill the holders up - which became time consuming. Then we became involved with Florida Suncoast Tourism in the late 1980’s and have been very pleased with their service. They are very reliable and easy to work with. Any questions are answered promptly and taken care of immediately. This really opens up our quality time to be further promoting our business in other ways. If you want to get your business information “out there” then these are the guys to get it done!”

“Hubbard’s Marina has used Florida Suncoast Promotions for 30 years. My father, Capt. Wilson Hubbard, worked with Drake Decker, owner of Florida Suncoast Tourism Promotions as an original client signing with him before he put out a single display. Drake Decker has proven over many times that FSTP is a staple to any resort visitor-based attraction or activities in the Tampa Bay Area. Hubbard’s Marina uses FSTP in our advertizing plan and budget from

the beginning and has been a big part of our success. We have worked side by side though thick and thin. Hubbard’s Marina currently is participating in all FSTP has to offer. I look forward in doing so though to the next generation. Thank you Drake Decker and Florida Suncoast Tourism Promotions!”
