MARKETING STRATEGY
Sponsor support is a critical part of reaching our goals, and we are committed to providing sponsors with multiple
opportunities to both reach and interact with current and potential clients. Our marketing strategy is to:
• Create an entertaining and competitive sporting event.
• Aggressively market that event to the people traditionally and statistically appropriate for our products and
services.
• Encourage new and repeat business by reaching our target audience, maintaining high standards of personal
service, creating new activities for our participants and continually devising new marketing options for our
sponsors.
TARGET DEMOGRAPHICS
The Emerald Coast Blue Marlin Classic at Sandestin’s
marketing efforts are focused on two main target
groups: high income sportfishing enthusiasts that may
also be interested in tournament competition, and local

big boat, luxury sportfishing lifestyle.
