Our newspaper is now 30 years in existence, having been owned previously by two of Canada’s largest newspaper publishers.

Par Louis S. St. Laurent II

Our circulation is the most extensive of any French publication in Florida and this past season we published as many as 16,000 weekly copies in Florida alone during the peak of the Canadian tourist season. We are circulated both in Florida and Quebec and other Canadian provinces with French speaking populations. No other French newspaper or tourist guide is published year round or as often as Le Soleil de La Floride. We are published and circulated throughout the provinces with a French population monthly and circulated in Florida 35 times a year.

Our advertisers inform us that they receive the most results from advertising in our newspaper. Large national media marketing firms have chosen our newspaper to reach the French market in Florida.

Our monthly edition is sold in over 1200 locations in the Province of Quebec. We are also the source of information for the Canadian news media when events occur in Florida. We assist various Canadian news media in reporting events in Florida.

We have had competitors attempt to enter this market by opening various French publications through the years. Most have failed or never reached the coverage of our newspaper, Le Soleil de La Floride. Considering the greater number of our newspaper being printed and wider circulation area than our competitors, our advertising rates are lower than that our competitors. Our classified ad section is extensive and continues to grow as it produces for those advertising in such area as sales and rentals of Florida properties.

30 years of being able to depend on Le Soleil de La Floride, has made us the single best advertising media to reach the French market in Florida and Canada. We will continue expanding services to our advertisers during this year, which is our 30^th anniversary. We will be having 30 year specials for our loyal advertisers this year. Our marketing representative will be contacting our advertisers in the near future with information about our 30^th anniversary special and promotions.

Le Soleil de La Floride will continue improving it’s web site (Lesoleildelafloride.com) and expanding the contests of the site. It presently has the last four complete editions of our newspaper on our free web site as a service to our readers and advertisers. Please feel free to contact the newspaper for any further information about advertising in the newspaper for this coming season. The circulation of the newspaper will again be increasing this season because of the great demand for it in the 2011-2012 winter season.
