Looking to increase business? Elevate your incomes without wiping out your

wallet? Can this even be possible?

Indeed it is.

• Since 1927, our paper has been striving to inform students and businesses around the Miami Beach community and has succeeded in doing so. Along with this, we focus on local up-and-coming businesses that show great potential but fall short in the advertising scene. The Beachcomber gives opportunities, to businesses such as yours, to become known by not only the 2,000+ students at Beach High, but to the remaining 3,000 people who receive The Beachcomber.

“Me and my friends don't participate in any sports but we're interested in joining but we don’t see many ads for sports shops anywhere. If the Beachcomber had an ad for a place I would definitely go, and I'm sure my friends would too”
