- (1888PressRelease) February 08, 2023 - Red Bank, NJ, Sandy Hook, NJ and Waitsfield, VT - Discovery Map International, the leading provider of curated guides to top tourist attractions, cities and towns throughout North America, recently announced Shawn and Vanessa Bannon as the new owners of Discovery Map of The Jersey Coast and Red Bank. The pair acquired the map, formerly known as Discovery Map of Red Bank, from Brian Bamrick.
The Bannons are longtime residents of the Sandy Hook/Red Bank area. Shawn is a business development executive in the healthcare industry, Vanessa a stay-at-home mother of two who has been very active in the community with the Girl Scouts and her daughter’s school PTA.
“We had been thinking about a possible business that I could do and work in with our kids’ school schedule. So that was front of mind. Then we kept coming across Discovery Map on our family vacations. So, we called Peter at Discovery Map to see what was in our area. Our thought was I’m already reaching out to businesses in the area for donations and sponsorships for my work with the Scouts and the school. How different could this be?” said Vanessa.
Added Shawn, “After talking to the team up in Vermont, the Discovery Map offered so much upside from taking advantage of the contacts we already had in the business community and the upside to the seasonal nature of producing the map to the modest initial investment and the ROI. It just made too much sense. Plus, it’s something we can get our two children involved with—at least distribution-wise—and maybe even involve Vanessa’s Brownie troop.”
Discovery Map produces colorful, hand-drawn maps that are a favorite of travelers seeking local dining, attractions, businesses, cultural experiences and great destinations. Discovery Maps are typically found on display in local stores, restaurants, hotels and tourist attractions.
In addition to the printed map, DiscoveryMap.com offers content curated by locals for visitors and those planning a trip (it’s even great for locals who are unaware of their own town’s hidden gems). The interactive map found on the website is to scale, thus can be used for turn-by-turn directions, as well as to access detailed information about areas of interest, places to eat, lodging and other noteworthy sites.
“The Jersey Coast and Sandy Hook area has so much to offer, ranging from the obvious—the beach--to the not-as-obvious—parks, historical sites, restaurants, etc. It’s truly become a year-round destination; particularly since Covid as people can work anywhere. With highway, train and ferry access, there’s even more opportunity for Discovery Map to reach more visitors and locals,” said Vanessa.
“Our territory/map will cover the towns that make up Sandy Hook,” said Shawn. “With the expanded territory, we’re looking to give businesses in all those areas the opportunity to reach thousands of visitors and residents in our area.”
