Jersey’s Best is a trusted source for travel and lifestyle needs in New Jersey. People look to us when they need suggestions on the best places to explore and activities in the Garden State. Our projects have the potential to be extremely successful not only for our brand but for the entire travel industry in the state.

It is essential that we make the most of our brand’s potential. We created content such as articles, videos, social media posts, and campaigns to help spread the hype about specific featured destinations. As a result, the New Jersey Destination of the Year has now become a highly awaited announcement, as it places our beloved state in a brighter light.

We put a great deal of effort into researching the historical significance, economic trajectory, activity diversity, and aesthetical appeal of different destinations to identify our ideal travel spot for New Jerseyans. After all these deliberations, we pinpointed one spot that fit all the criteria.

This product needs year-round attention, from introducing the five finalists in the print magazine and on our associated Web site to newsletter blasts, native ad campaigns, and social media profiles describing the contenders.

We named Lambertville as our 2023 NJ Destination of the Year in December.

This product impressed everyone from the very beginning and kept it exciting until the end. We are proud to share some remarkable numbers we witnessed throughout this journey.

The president of Lambertville’s Chamber of Commerce even reached out to say: “On behalf of our Board of Directors and the City of Lambertville, let me be the first to thank you for this incredible honor [of] being named Destination of the Year 2023. Lambertville is a year-round destination with a variety of interests and activities that makes it the perfect place to visit or live.”
