Texas Gulf Coast Surfing Magazine is a bi-monthly Digital

Magazine highlighting the finest in Texas surf. Each issue presents
an array of articles, interviews, product reviews, news, information,
and beautiful, full color action photography.

The advantages of advertising in a printed publication are

obvious, but with the rise of the digital age, printed publications are
often held to regional exposure. Digital media is a very cost effective
way to increase your exposure to a worldwide audience.
Advantages to the digital version are:
1. Your ad links to your website
2. Insert rich media (video, audio files) into your ad
3. Expose your business world wide
With Texas Gulf Coast Surfing Magazine, you get highly visible
Worldwide exposure that comes with the digital magazine format.
The best thing is that it is available at a lower price than print
media!
Included with this cover letter is a sample of the magazine,
showing all available formats, design specifications, and our price
list.
We offer flexible billing options and discounts for prompt
payment, multiple insertions, multi-issue purchases, as well as
discounts for repeat customers.
We here at Sirfur Productions would like to thank you for
taking time from your busy schedule to consider doing business with
us.
