Partner Submission Resource Guide

We’re excited to showcase your business and/or destination on VISIT FLORIDA and LoveFL’s social media! By submitting your request through the partner portal, your request will be reviewed by both VISIT FLORIDA and LoveFL for posting consideration throughout the year.


VISIT FLORIDA AND LOVEFL BRAND STRATEGIES

Any subjects in the imagery should be welllit (i.e. no shadows on figures).

Share diverse/unique experiences, locations, and landscapes.

Video should feel natural to the social channel as if a follower posted it (i.e. no studio productions, commercials, text overlays on video).

Outdoor views should emphasize blue skies and sunshine (i.e. avoid storm clouds and dark skies).

Always highlight Florida’s natural beauty and landscape with your business/experience (i.e. keep Florida the main focus; when featuring people, make it about the experience and the landscape).

Share point-of-view experiences.
