Letter from the Publishers
Get ready to Discover South Mississippi!
Building on the strong circulation and readership that See South Mississippi
established over the past 17 years, the new Discover South Mississippi has been
redesigned to include the most accurate and complete information that a visitor or
newcomer to the region would ever need.
We have joined with the Mississippi Gulf Coast Regional Convention & Visitors
Bureau (CVB) to use Discover South Mississippi as the newcomers and visitors guide
for the region. With each quarterly issue, Discover South Mississippi will deliver a
minimum of 5,000 copies to the CVB for use at tour and travel shows, as well as
replacing the former Fun Times and Go Coast as the agency’s fulfillment magazine.
By working with the CVB, Discover will have the most timely content and will
target visitors seeking the best source for events, dining, shopping, attractions,
accommodations and much more!
Additionally, each issue of Discover will be available digitally at
www.discoversouthms.com. Discover will be linked to numerous websites as well as
the official CVB website, www.gulfcoast.org, where last year, the Fun Times Guide
received over 340,000 page views.
Discover will also be available in hundreds of regional businesses and at tourist
stops, and will be placed in more than 10,000 hotel rooms and lobbies throughout
the six coastal counties.
The total distribution of the quarterly Discover will top 160,000 copies annually
with readership estimated at 1.5 million each year.
Discover is the ideal publication for any business or organization looking to
reach active visitors seeking entertainment, dining and shopping options, as well as
newcomers who are wanting the most accurate information on getting involved in the
region.
Plus, Discover is produced by the same locally owned company that publishes
the Coast’s number one lifestyle magazine, South Mississippi Living, as well as the
region’s number one guide to gaming and fun, Jackpot! As an advertiser, be assured
that our local editors, photographers and marketing consultants will offer the best fit
for your business – and at a great value!
Enjoy and Discover all that South Mississippi has to offer!
