The Strategic Advantage of Advertising When Times Are Slow
by Angie Schepers, Editor, Treasure Coast Home & Living
In the ever-evolving world of business, one constant remains: the need for effective advertising. While it’s natural to scale back on expenditures during slower periods, savvy business owners understand the strategic advantage of maintaining, and even increasing, their advertising efforts when the market is quiet. At Treasure Coast Home & Living, we believe that advertising during slow times can be a game-changer for your business, setting the stage for sustained success and growth.
Visibility: Stay Top of Mind
When the market slows down, many businesses reduce their advertising budgets, leading to a decrease in overall noise and competition. This presents a golden opportunity for your business to stand out. By maintaining or increasing your advertising presence, you ensure that your brand remains visible and top of mind for potential customers. When they are ready to make a purchase, your business will be the first they think of, thanks to your consistent visibility.
Market Share: Capture a Larger Audience
Opportunity: Highlight Special Offers and Promotions
Slower periods are an excellent time to highlight special offers, promotions, or new products. Advertising these deals can drive immediate sales and attract customers who are looking for value. By showcasing what sets your business apart, you can entice customers to choose your products or services over others, even during times when discretionary spending might be lower.
Adaptation:
Refine Your Messaging and Strategy
Slower times can be an opportunity to gain market share. As competitors pull back on their advertising, your business can capture a larger share of the market by continuing to communicate with potential customers. This proactive approach not only helps in retaining your existing customer base but also attracts new customers who might be looking for alternatives in the absence of competitor messaging.
Brand Strength: Build Long-Term Loyalty
Consistent advertising helps build and reinforce your brand’s identity and values. Even if consumers are not ready to buy immediately, your advertising efforts keep your brand in their minds, creating a sense of familiarity and trust. Over time, this builds long-term loyalty, making customers more likely to choose your brand when they are ready to make a purchase.
Perception: Position Your Business as Reliable and Stable
During uncertain times, consumers tend to gravitate towards brands that convey reliability and stability. Continuing to advertise sends a powerful message that your business is resilient and dependable, capable of weathering economic fluctuations. This perception of stability can significantly enhance your brand’s reputation and attract customers who value security and consistency.
When business is slow, it provides a valuable opportunity to experiment with different advertising strategies and refine your messaging. You can test new creative approaches, target different demographics, and measure the effectiveness of various campaigns. This period of experimentation can yield insights that enhance your overall marketing strategy, making your advertising efforts more effective in the long run.
Community Connection: Support Local Media and Strengthen Relationships
Advertising in local publications like Treasure Coast Home & Living not only promotes your business but also supports the local economy and media landscape. By investing in local advertising, you help sustain the community resources that many residents rely on for information and entertainment. This act of community support can strengthen your business’s relationships with local customers and enhance your reputation as a committed and engaged member of the community.
Advertising during slow times is not just about maintaining business; it’s about seizing the opportunity to strengthen your brand, capture market share, and position yourself for future growth. At Treasure Coast Home & Living, we are here to help you craft effective advertising strategies that resonate with our readers and drive your business forward, no matter the economic climate.
LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO MOVE YOURSELF!
Celebrating 22 years as a trusted moving and storage provider, White Glove proudly calls the Treasure Coast home and cherishes its role as a community partner. Recently, we had a Q&A session with White Glove’s President, Caleb Clements, to discuss the industry and share insights on trends amidst our rapidly growing population.
Q: The secret is out that the Treasure Coast is a desirable place to live because of its overall safety, and “affordability with a coastline.” Are newcomers choosing new construction or pre-built homes and where are they relocating from?
A: New construction is very attractive right now for those who do not want the maintenance older homes require. Homeowners’ insurance is also easier to get and at a greater savings for new construction. So, we are seeing a lot of our customers opt for the new resort type of communities found throughout our area and the state.
At White Glove Moving & Storage, we are proud of our relocation expertise and protocols in place, making the experience as seamless as possible for our customers no matter what year or type of home they choose. As an interstate agent with Bekins Van Lines and the 2022 Agent of the Year, we help families relocate both into and out of Florida with ease, doing as much or as little as they need done. Yet, there are many folks coming to the Treasure Coast from South Florida who enjoy the slower speed our cities have to offer. Another common move, is the person who already loves our area and just needs to go up or down in size due to changes in life.
White Glove has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and received its Torch Award for Ethics. With this exceptional team, we take pride in offering competitive rates accounting for stairs, elevators, shuttles, etc so there are no surprise charges or hidden fees. Wherever your move takes you, we provide free estimates and accurate pricing.
Q: Homes priced right are selling as quick as 1-4 months. What happens if someone does not know where they are moving to yet?
A: The average new construction house can take 12-18 months to complete. Since conception, White Glove has been able to alleviate the stress of where prized possessions can be kept safe. Our unique warehouses, equipped with loading docks and top-notch security, provide climate and humidity-controlled storage for our customers complete
with detailed inventory ensuring everything we bring in comes out on move day.
Unlike the many self-serve storage facilities popping up all over, our full-service storage does not allow unsupervised access to anyone and requires an appointment to view the inventory. We are the best solution for those who want to take advantage of a stress-free storage solution where the only detail needed is your move out date. The best part is that this comes at an incredibly competitive price point.
Q: What about homeowners who wish to renovate?
Moving and storage solutions for renovations is a big part of our business. For contractors to do their jobs, be it new flooring or fresh paint, having household items out of the way makes the entire process faster and better. Our trained movers can simply shift items within one’s home or bring it all into our storage facility for as long as needed; no long term storage commitments required.
Q: Many say hiring a professional moving company is too expensive or have heard horror stories. Why choose White Glove?
Choosing the cheapest mover is the common denominator of the horror stories shared about unethical moving brokers who take deposits and never show or worse, hold item hostage until a higher fee is paid. believe Benjamin Franklin wisely noted, “The bitterness of poor quality far outlasts the sweetness of a cheap price.”
Our team is two decades strong because we support local and do right for our customers and employees. Our relocation specialists spend the time to understand the customers’ needs, educate them on the moving process, and offer up tips to ensure the relocation goes as easy and stress free as possible. We do not spend money on billboards or pay to sponsor a professional sports team, rather we support local youth sports and charities headquartered here. We do not require deposits and stand by our pricing because every move requires an inhome or virtual survey. am proud of my team and the good work we do. At White Glove, we aim to be your top choice for movers and consistently deliver the best moving experience possible.

Making Memories Exploring & Glamping
By Anna Valencia Tillery
Florida’s Big Bend
Florida’s Big Bend is full of natural beauty from spring fed rivers to forests and a lot of lakes. The area of land is so vast, many of the waterways do not connect. Hence, getting from one boat ramp to the next in our family’s river roaming ensemble had us driving upwards of an hour each way from our first “homebase” of our 2024 big summer trip.
Scouts Lodge was another 15-minute drive from the freshly asphalted, Econfina River Road. Across a bridge and down some narrow, bumpy dirt roads you will find a 13 acres retreat, raised 30’ ft in the air atop of concrete pillars similar to what is used for bridges. Keith, the owner, lives in the front main up three flights of stairs. Behind their home and screened porch, are three small cabins. Each had its own loft, bathroom, kitchenette, porch, and air conditioner and the entire upstairs had a wrap around porch with many places to view the property; equipped with three different kinds of grills. Yet the best part of the property, was a few minute jaunt down the boardwalk where a screened-in, two-story hideout provides shade and views of the Ecofina River and boat dock. As always, we had questions about the waters of the rivers on the first leg of this mission. Thankfully, Keith was an experience boater and knew much about each of the four rivers on our list.
Day one on the water, we entered the Aucilla for our 121st river followed by the Wacissa for #122. The vivid fauna and archaeological dig team via pontoon had our complete attention as the massive rock below took off half a blade from our prop. Thus, it was a slow crawl out to the Gulf where a single Ramora (suction cup fish) was caught. Good news, we had a spare and was able to change the prop out under the shade of the concrete fortress back at the Scout Lodge. Our hopes were high the next day that we would time the drastic tides right to make
it into the Gulf and cut across for our 123rd River, the Ecofina to the Fenholloway for #124. However, after already losing a prop, we decided to play it safe and roam down one then drive to the other boat ramp, a mere 45 minutes away. Our plan worked and we saw beautiful savannahs and fished plenty without a single bite. That night, as we cooked up some Tillery Cheesesteaks on his flat top grill, we got to hear stories from our new friend about his time in the military ranging from the fall of the Berlin wall to anacondas in the Amazon; amazing! Next morning, we were off to Apalachicola, a two hour drive due west, with a busy, historical downtown. There were many cute shops along the riverbank full of old northern Florida architecture complete with bricks and pine trees. The Bay City Lodge fish camp was our next stop. Found our name on the dry erase board upon arrival, we had been assigned an isolated cabin that had likely not been updated since it was built. Regardless, the property itself was quite charming with a working marina, plenty of boat docking, and icehouse. After settling into the cabin, knowing we would be utilizing our truck camper too, we hopped on the boat and headed into town for some sighting and dinner. A ten-minute walk from the Scipio Creek Marina where we planned to have supper at the end, we found the downtown district. This happy mom found two pairs of earrings, a long-sleeved shirt, painted oyster shell, and green tea shooter at the Up to No Good bar before sitting for dinner. Serving only oysters from Apalachicola, the Half Shell Dockside Oyster Bar & Grill, gave us water views that showcased a nice sized gator swimming in the river halfway through the meal which got every diner’s attention. It was clear that everything was fresh and made with love, from oysters two ways to dry rubbed wings with a sensational blue cheese dressing, we savored every moment.
Next day, rivers #125 through #128 were our goals, adorned with sand hill dunes taller than anywhere in the Treasure Coast. Thank you to the memories and calming, serene land views from onboard our boat to the: Jackson, Brothers, East River of the Panhandle, and Chipola Rivers. It is a hike but worth the journey to experience the Big Bend with an open heart for the special joy small towns and Florida country living can provide.
