Tybee Island Honored in June 2012 Issue of Southern Living

As veterans in the PR business, we never really get over the satisfied high that comes when one of our clients lands in a well-read national magazine.

So imagine our delight when Tybee Island was honored as one of five “Perfect Little Beach Towns” in the June 2012 issue of Southern Living, a celebrated national magazine highlighting the beauty and culture of the South and reaching over 15 million devoted readers.

In a travel section spotlighting the “Best of the South,” the article celebrates Tybee’s laid-back lifestyle and all-American style:

“If you want to see how Tybee rolls, rent a pastel beach cruiser from Fat Tire Bike Rentals,” the article enthuses. “It comes with a cupholder on the handlebars for your (legal) frosty beer, which likely won’t spill, so flat is the land and scarce are the cars. You’ll need just one gear to cruise at the pace of this classic, family-friendly island.”

At Abshire PR, one of our primary goals is to connect our clients with their their target audiences across a broad range of media channels. We’re proud to say, we hit our target with this one. Southern Living really captured Tybee Island in a nutshell!

“After the cover story about our firm’s 20-year anniversary ran in Business in Savannah, we received calls from investors and dozens of comments from others on the street. I now believe in PR done right.”

“As a small business owner, I always thought public relations was for the “Big Companies.”  We decided to give Abshire PR a shot with the promotion of our grand opening for LuckySavannah Vacation Rentals.  To my surprise, we signed up a new vacation property owner as a direct result of APR’s work. For me, APR and their services went from vague and unnecessary to concrete, essential and profitable.”

“Abshire PR’s focused strategy allowed our small, regionally-recognized startup reach a national audience in a short period of time. Their recommendations allowed us to be published in several nationally distributed publications in less than 60 days. We’d definitely turn to APR when we need to create our next big buzz!”

“APR is the gold standard in reaching the news media about HSF’s events and projects. They consistently go above and beyond the call of duty and make us feel like their top client.”
