The DLP’s newsletter is already a favorite in Lakeland.  But, we’re always looking for ways to better serve our members and Downtown Lakeland .  Our friends at Crown Printing, and fellow DLP member, are helping us take The Dish to new heights – 16 full color, glossy pages of news you, and your customers, can use! 

Ads in “Dish” Are A Steal!
Rates start at $100 - full color! (non- member rates are slightly higher)

We are going full color and glossy - like other high priced spreads – but, we’re sticking to our affordable advertising rates*.  10,000 copies are mailed or distributed throughout Lakeland and Polk County.  Get your ad in now by calling Julie Townsend.      

Keeping up with changes in today’s business climate is a full time job.  The new column, “At Your Service” spreads the word about people and changes in the Downtown businesses that provide services as opposed to goods.

Brag about new hires, promotions and transfers, training and certifications, and new services offered.  Keep items brief as space is limited.  Photos are always welcomed.  Preference is given to DLP members. Submit all items, in writing, to Julie Townsend.

Downtown Map Featured - Updated every issue – guaranteed to be fresh!
 
 Another new feature in the DLP newsletter is the map of Downtown with shops, restaurants and landmarks clearly identified. Previously published as a stand alone brochure, this feature now allows us to keep up with the new businesses joining the Downtown family.  

Let Us Have It!

Articles and Photos welcomed. We’re always looking for articles and photos to include in the newsletter. If it is of general interest to our readers and promotes Downtown Lakeland, it may be considered.
