New Chapter in Community Publishing
Seabreeze Communications and Happy Landings are launching an exciting new chapter. Over the past few months, Seabreeze has been preparing for a transformation, bringing community-focused publications to the next level. “Today, I’m thrilled to share more details about these changes for Happy Landings and the benefits they will bring you, our valued readers.” Stephen Miller, CEO, Seabreeze Communications
Building on a Legacy
For nearly 40 years, Seabreeze Communications has been dedicated to serving gated communities across Florida with high-quality, community-specific content. “Our mission has always been to connect residents, foster a sense of belonging, and provide a reliable source of local news and information. This legacy is one we are deeply committed to preserving, even as we prepare to introduce significant innovations.”
The Move to Digital
After careful consideration and planning, we’re excited to announce Happy Landings will be transitioning to a digital model, with a projected launch date in November. This shift reflects a mutual commitment with Seabreeze to stay ahead of the curve, ensuring that publications remain as relevant and accessible as possible in an increasingly digital world.
Some of you may have already heard about this transition, and we’re pleased to confirm that these plans are moving forward smoothly. We believe this new format will not only enhance your reading experience, but also bring a host of new features and benefits.
Why Digital?
The decision to move to a digital format was driven by a desire to offer readers the best possible experience. Here are some of the key benefits you can look forward to:
- Wider Reach: Each reader will be able to receive their own digital copy, ensuring everyone stays informed.
- Timeliness: With a digital platform, lead times are reduced, allowing delivery of more current and relevant content.
- Interactivity and Engagement: The digital publication will feature clickable links, embedded videos, and other interactive elements, making content more engaging and dynamic.
- Year-Round Access: Whether at home or traveling, you’ll have access to Landings news through a dedicated Happy Landings website.
- Mobile Accessibility: You can read it on your laptop, tablet, or smartphone, giving you the flexibility to stay connected wherever you are.
What to Expect
In addition to the benefits mentioned above, our new digital format will introduce several exciting features:
- Dynamic Reader: You can still flip through the pages of Happy Landings with the interactive reader, which will look and feel like a traditional publication while having clickable links and embeddable video.
- Article Breakout: Each article will have the option to be viewed on its own dedicated page, making it easier for you to read, print, and share specific stories.
- Events Page: Stay current with community happenings through a regularly updated events calendar.
- Resource Page: The comprehensive resource page will help you connect with local providers and businesses more easily.
- Archive of Past Issues: Using the searchable archive, you can revisit past issues and articles anytime you like.
- Submissions: We continue to encourage Landings members to submit stories, photos, and announcements to be featured in Happy Landings issues.
- Looking Ahead
We understand change can be both exciting and challenging. We are confident this transition will bring lasting benefits to our readers and advertisers. As we approach the November launch, we will keep you informed about our progress and any other details you need to know.
Thank you for your continued support. We are eager to embark on this journey with Seabreeze to make Happy Landings an even more valuable asset.
