We have searched, researched, viewed and reviewed the interests of Austin’s readership through market research and focus groups. We were overwhelmed by the response we received from y’all about the fastest-growing Internet business directory in town!

 

SURPRISE!!!!  Austin is definitely not “all work and no play” – so we present our findings to you for the “play” part of life.  Here are your requests:

 

“Sharp Points of View” and “witty writing” on pop-culture events – global and local topics.  (Austin – you’re not afraid of being unconventional – fo sho’)

 

Austin loves the “natural beauty” of its landscape and wants to “learn about preserving it.”  You are pro-green and put your money where your mouth is. 

 

You’re athletic, healthy & outdoorsy…Hint:  focus on more outdoor community activities…some of which we will be hosting in the future.

 

“Cool Stuff” from local vendors you already do business with and want to share with your neighbors, and other “Cool Places” recently launched in the marketplace.  We admire your loyalty to the small, local markets and “mom and pop shops.”

 

Austin’s Visual Arts are “under-represented” and “rarely highlighted.”  Where are the talented Texas Artists in Austin and the 5 surrounding counties?  Click here to send us your favorites.

 

Austin’s A&D Community (Architecture and Design) is strong and thriving.  Please put it on the Internet.”
