Giant Step Magazine Insert Co-Op

We continue to build on the success of the Giant Step co-op program, and here is program and registration information for the 2010 Giant Step Co-op.

The Program
Giant Step
provides our industry partners the opportunity to have advertising exposure in nationally-recognized women’s and family magazines. These six-page ads consist of sweeping South Dakota imagery and themes. Each ad features up to five partners and will run at least twice during Peak season and once in Shoulder. Besides the three guaranteed spots in the Peak and Shoulder seasons, partners will be listed in every ad to widely expand the exposure of the partnership.

Along with the advertisement, Giant Step partners also receive premium placement on the homepage of www.TravelSD.com.
