Description:
SunCoast Advertising is a small advertising company that provides annual advertising for locally owned small to medium sized businesses in the Tampa Bay Area. When first started, it was coupon advertising, but that concept was saturated already. After a year of thinking about a new concept to help business owners advertise their business in this economy, I came up with annual advertising. We are contracted with several different locally owned pizza shops that have agreed to distribute our flier on their pizza boxes for an entire year. Each flier holds 15 ads to include the pizza shop who gets their ad for free and 10 to 15000 free fliers also with their menu printed on the back. I currently have 3 appointment setters and 2 sales rep. I am trying to find an investor that will help with the start-up cost to get an office space, the business leads and business supplies that will help the company move forward quickly, but at a steady pace. The return on investment is there, because I know it works. I just need the capital to start it right and will pay back with interest. The concept/idea is taken very well as we have already been approached by several pizza shops without contacting them to be apart of the business. We are looking to move into the entire Central West Florida area and beyond. The business is currently operating out of my home, but I don't think that is professional for what I want to achieve.
