STRATEGY: EXPANSION Tri-State Shopper Launches NEW! TN-NC-GA-FL-C-O-N-N-E-C-T-I-O-N-S By Cat Rightsell, Publisher
Tri-State Shoppers Guide, now in our seventh year serving the tri-state region of western North Carolina, southeastern Tennessee, and north
Georgia, is expanding into northern and central Florida. Over the past two or three years, we have contemplated this expansion, but did not have enough support to launch a separate real estate guide that would help connect local real estate offices to second-homeseeking Florida residents. Although the financial landscape has completely changed since our first
attempts to connect locales, there are still many people traveling back and forth from their mountain homes to their Florida residences. We recognize a need to stay connected and have decided to serve that niche. By continuing to utilize our proven track record of targeted distribution and quality 4-color ads. Continued on p. A5
