Jacksonville and her surrounding communities are well known for offering an appealing combination of a high quality of life, diverse cultural offerings and a gorgeous natural environment.
But the historical gateway to Florida, now the 55th largest metro area in the United States, has earned worldwide recognition as a terrific place to do business.Truth is, there has never been a more exciting time to live and work in this rapidly growing region, where an emphasis on diversification is creating unequaled opportunity for people who appreciate the business-friendly environment and opportunities that come with living in one of the Southeast’s growing economic powerhouses.
In fact, according to a 2010 study by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Jacksonville Metropolitan Statistical Area (including Duval, Baker, Clay, St. Johns and Nassau counties) had the fourth-largest economy in the state of Florida—and the 44th in the U.S. The federal agency put the total value of goods and services produced within the region at more than $52 billion.
With more than 1 million residents, the Northeast corner of Florida is rapidly becoming a major player in many industries—banking, insurance, healthcare, manufacturing and shipping, just to name a few. More than 80 large companies base their regional or corporate headquarters in the area, including Fortune 500 companies Fidelity National Financial, Winn-Dixie Stores and CSX.

Readership. Magazine readers seek out their favorite publications because they are interested in the content.
Tangibility. Magazines offer long shelf life and high pass-along readership. Magazine ads can produce results six months and even a year after publication.
Response. The prime prospects for most products are more likely to respond to a magazine ad than to a television commercial.
Believability. Magazines rank among the most trusted and credible of all media, print or broadcast.
Usefulness. Magazines satisfy the need to know issues in depth, and cater specifically to personal interests
Efficiency. Magazine advertising rates are reasonable, especially considering their effectiveness at zeroing in on prime prospects.
Accessibility. Magazines aren’t relegated to missed time slots. They wait for their readers to return in their own good time.
Source: SimmonsMarket Research Bureau “For readers, many of the pleasing characteristics of magazines—their portability and glossiness, for instance—cannot be matched online. And magazines are not losing younger readers in droves in the way that newspapers are. According to a study carried out last year by the digital arm of Ogilvy Group, a communications company, appetite for magazines is largely unchanged between older ‘baby boomers’ and young ‘millennials.’”
