Custer marketing that puts every dollar where it earns the most.
Population: ~2,000 (heavy tourism)
Custer sits at the gateway to Custer State Park, Crazy Horse Memorial, and Wind Cave National Park — making it one of the most tourism-dependent communities in the southern Black Hills. Smart advertising here pairs visitor-targeted digital with steady year-round local presence.
What works in Custer
Custer advertising looks heavily seasonal. Memorial Day through Labor Day is the heavy spend window. Off-season focus is usually on home services, healthcare, and trades for the year-round residents.
