In 1971 Sunny Day Guide began as a coupon card for vacationers in Virginia Beach. Since then we have evolved into so much more. Our card became a guide, which then expanded into new markets, first on the East Coast and then throughout the country. Sunny Day recognizes that as the vacationer s needs change, so must we, and that is why our advertising package has become so much more than a printed page in a guide. Because we realize families are planning their vacations online, we continuously improve our website. And now, with the increased usage of smartphones and tablets, we too are getting smarter. See what Sunny Day can do for your business. PRINT & DIGITAL MEDIA KIT Print, web, smartphone, or tablet on every platform Sunny Day s goal is the same: to deliver the best possible results for our advertisers.
