A new town next to an old one.
Established Sarasota wealth on one side, Lakewood Ranch's constant new construction on the other. Two very different customers, twenty minutes apart.
What's costing businesses here
The problems we see in Sarasota & Lakewood Ranch.
Lakewood Ranch arrivals picking providers fast
New residents choose within months of moving in. Miss that window and they're someone else's customer.
Established residents who won't switch
Long-term Sarasota residents are loyal to existing providers. Generic ads don't give them a reason to change.
Post-Milton trust gap
Coastal homeowners wary of storm-chasing contractors need proof you're local before they'll consider you.
The market
What advertising here is actually like.
Lakewood Ranch is one of the fastest-growing master-planned communities in the United States, and it's full of new households — young families and relocating retirees alike — choosing every provider for the first time. For clinics and home services, that's a stream of customers with no existing loyalties.
Sarasota proper is older money and culture: the arts district, Siesta Key, Longboat Key and established neighborhoods where residents have had the same providers for years and need a real reason to switch.
Hurricane Milton made landfall near Siesta Key in 2024, and the coastal communities are still working through repairs. Contractors here are competing both for rebuild work and for the trust of homeowners who have seen plenty of out-of-town trucks.
