Explore Silicon Valley & Santa Cruz Coast is displayed year-round in over 12,000
guest rooms at virtually all key hotels in San Jose, Santa Clara, Campbell,
Sunnyvale, Los Gatos and Saratoga, as well as on the Santa Cruz coast.
Ads in Explore promote your business to more than 1.75 million affluent
potential customers annually in the relaxed privacy of their rooms, while they
decide where to go and what to do. Visitors eat virtually all their meals in
restaurants and rank shopping as their #1 activity.
The visitor market is too big to ignore. State of California surveys show that
visitors to Santa Clara County alone spend over $1 billion a year on dining,
$600 million on shopping, and $500 million on entertainment and recreation.
Explore’s hardcover binding, beautiful photography and comprehensive
editorial set it apart from other publications. Explore features the best in
dining, shopping, attractions, wineries, events, entertainment and recreation.
Cost effective
No other local advertising medium targets such a large audience of potential
new customers as cost-effectively as Explore, creating maximum value for
your advertising dollars.
Added value
Ads 1/3 page or larger include a free listing for a year (12 issues) in Discover
Silicon Valley, the area’s leading monthly visitor guide, with 25,000 copies
distributed every month at hotels, airport information kiosks, high-tech
