Howler Salutes Our Longest Advertising Partner!
1. Why did you start marketing with Howler?
The Howler was in place way back in time, when there weren’t cafes with Internet, it was about 2008. There were 3 major companies in Tamarindo and we were one of them, so we published for advertising. We wanted to keep our name in the community and the magazine was the primary magazine at that time. We’ve been working together ever since, even now that we have our own Marketing Department.
2. Why did you not stop during COVID?
We believe in our people, the people we manage. We believe in our staff. So, we didn’t stop during this season, we still had to be recognized as a company to the community. We didn’t stop paying and taking care of our employees because they had what was called essential work. They had to maintain the properties: fixing elevators, taking care of the swimming pools, housekeeping and so more.
We put our staff in 50% time and salary and then we also invested and bought essential food, we did that for 4 or 5 months. Every two weeks we had big piles of food coming in here and we gave it to everybody. It was all part of keeping essential normality to people.
There’s value in that momentum. Stopping and then popping up months later because the economy is good, to me, it doesn’t define a company with value. Being there and supporting your staff and being part of the community it does.
3. What value does providing the premium magazine with over 5 million readers in 2022 bring to you?
The ads are all good sized. People see you there all the time and know that you are still in the market. We needed that exposure for people to know that we are still here.
We run medium size properties and that allow us to have better response times for people, for emergencies. I have staff that are very well trained to respond to any situation. We set the standard in our industry. So letting people know that through the advertising in the magazine is very important for us.
The Howler it’s well known and it’s good to be well known through it too.
