Why you should advertise with Flats Nation!

Advertise with Flats Nation!

Flats and Inshore fishing are more than a hobby – they become part of a lifestyle.  From getting up at “ugly early” with a cup of good coffee, putting on Technical Clothing, and hooking the boat to the tow rig - - - until finally the day is done and it’s time for clean-up, maybe cleaning a few fresh catches of the day, thousands of products support this passion.  Companies worldwide choose Flats Nation for our unique advertising and exposure opportunities, including the chance to have a complete audio article dedicated to their unique product or service. Why you should advertise with Flats Nation: We provide you with the ability to put your products into the hands, eyes, and ears of fishermen worldwide.  Isn’t it time you joined The Nation to get out “the word”?


Flats Nation magazine website and audio articles reach fishermen and tackle distributors, major retailers, brand owners, and consumers worldwide. Our wide range of advertising services will help your company realize its full potential, regardless of size or business objectives.

If you want to… Introduce yourself and your new company!

Are you the owner of a new or emerging company with an exciting new product and a desire to find your first sales customers? Let Flats Nation introduce you to the broadest possible audience with a combination of small, regular advertisements and written and audio articles in the online magazine and on YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, and other sites. Combine this with exposure to your new products in an audio article, and you will reach retailers and end-users in new markets everywhere.  Are you already established but tired of paying high prices for magazine ads that end up in the recycle bin every month?  Flats Nation not only operates in the digital environment with no waste, but we go everywhere our audience goes and enable their exposure with multiple senses, not just old-fashioned print, all at a cost-effective rate that will make your marketing budget go further.

 

Understand Your Reach, not the Bot Count on Social Media!

How do you know whether anyone is paying attention?  Some Search Engine Optimization companies are adept at garnering fake numbers on social media platforms, search engines, etc.  However, at Flats Nation, we believe in actual, organic reach. Renting a bot farm will not increase your exposure, but our targeted, authentic approach will. 


What is the Average Session Duration (ASD) on your company website or where you advertise today? Imagine you’re shopping in a store. The longer you stay, the more likely you are to buy (more). It’s similar to your website. The longer users stay on your pages, the more pages they read, and the deeper they scroll on each page, the bigger your chances of converting them. So, you need to know how much time users spend on your website and what their actions are while there.


That’s why ASD, "average session duration", is the fourth most-tracked Google Analytics metric and should be on your mind and website analytics dashboard. An excellent ASD score across the industry is 3 minutes. A typical score is measured in seconds.  That means from the time a viewer lands on your site or your advertisement until they leave the site, 3 minutes is considered knocking it out of the park.  Flats Nation routinely exceeds 10 minutes of ASD!  This is better than 94% of every web-based platform in our category worldwide.  That means your products will get the exposure they deserve! 

What about the Bounce Rate?  This is the percentage of potential customers that see a webpage and immediately “bounce.” Flats Nation attracts and keeps them with a lower Bounce rate than 93% of the industry!  Unlike other platforms, Flats Nation has thousands of regular viewers, tens of thousands of LinkedIn impressions, and combined social media penetration.  We are already there with your customers; in their tow rig, on their boat, on their cell phones and home computers - and we are gaining traction every day.

Expand into new markets!

Unlike print magazines, Flats Nation reaches every fishing-related market around the world. We have International Team Leads throughout Central and South America and the Caribbean, now targeting Asia and the Pacific islands, and continue to expand daily. Our news and features are written specifically to engage this audience above all others. Suppose the next step for your business is to expand into export markets with new distribution partners. In that case, your journey begins with Flats Nation– and continues until you have the international coverage you want. Our Spanish-language content will continue growing to service this market, whether overseas or in the continental USA.
