🎶 "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas..." 🎵

Are you humming to yourself now? I'll apologize now for putting the tune in your head for the rest of the day. BUT! It's for good reason, and you can thank me later (wink wink).

How many times have you heard it?

"YOU CAN NEVER PLAN TOO FAR AHEAD."

Last year, many of you were disappointed that you missed the opportunity to be included in our annual Market Guide which is part of the issue that releases in October, which if you're doing the math, means that it comes out JUST BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS!

Pretty perfect, right?!

With super affordable rates, it's a must for businesses of all sizes. To be sure that you are "in the know," we're sharing about it WAY ahead of time this year. Catch all the juicy details below.

We publish a Creative Directory which is a resource guide for service based businesses. It only seems fair to provide a space for product based businesses as well. And with the last two years' Market Guides being so successful, there was no doubt we needed to do it again.

We are preparing the next Market Guide for ISSUE 13 which releases in October...

JUST IN TIME FOR THE HOLIDAYS!
