If there’s a feature on a product or some tackle in an issue, they always come in asking for it. I’ve definitely sold a lot of Easy Hooker jigs as a result of the feature—I even had a guy call me from Maine who’s got a subscription, and we shipped a bunch to him.” Rich Baugess—Reel Outdoors / Easy Hooker Jigs “I’ve booked a number of trips through my ads, and especially my involvement with the fishing schools. The web banners have been excellent for me, too. Everyone in town checks out the Post, so I know it does me good when my pictures are running in there. Overall, I’ve been extremely satisfied with the entire experience.” Rob Koraly—Sandbar Safari Charters “Getting featured in articles in the Post has really helped me get out there and made me well known as a flounder guy in the area. When people see you in there time and time again, the calls are coming. It’s been like a snowball—every year more and more people are calling. The exposure has also helped me out with getting sponsorships.” Wayne Crisco—Last Resort Charters “My charters love seeing themselves in the Post. I’ve got a guy that steps on the boat every year and asks if we’re going to make the paper again. I mail copies to my customers who live out of the area. It definitely helps my repeat business.” Tommy Rickman—The Tackle Box/Southport Angler Outfitters “I use Fisherman’s Post year after year because they provide me with a unique advertising platform that helps my product stand out and keeps me strongly connected with North Carolina’s saltwater community. And they also back up the advertising program through product reviews, fishing school promotion, and tournament exposure. This formula of exposure, promotion, and familiarity produces results.” Dan Vinent—Pure Fishing “We advertise with Fisherman’s Post because their publication contains great local articles and fishing reports. We know our ads are reaching people who really enjoy fishing in eastern North Carolina.” Phillip Henry—Sea Striker “I count on Fisherman’s Post to help us reach new customers and to keep contact with existing customers. It is the most direct marketing I’ve found in the field of boating, fishing, and coastal lifestyle. Also, through tracking of my advertising, I continue to find Fisherman’s Post more than pays for itself.” Lana Wallace—Brunswick Trailers & Marine “From an advertiser’s perspective, Fisherman’s Post definitely gets our message out there and directs our message to the people we want to reach.” Tex Grissom—Tex’s Tackle “I get a tremendous response from my ad. People call me all the time. It’s also nice to get my clients’ photos in the paper. I mail them copies, they see their photo in the paper, and it makes them feel special. That helps my return business.” Capt. Mark Dickson—Shallow Minded Guide Fishing “Fisherman’s Post Newspaper is one of the best advertising tools I have ever used for my charter business. The magazine and its staff are all ‘top shelf.’ If you can only use one medium for advertising your fishing business, I would say you have found one of the best right here with Fisherman’s Post Newspaper. Fish on!” Capt.
