Metro guide sponsorship in Austin, TX
Community Impact publishes annual guides — health, education, home, and more — mailed into the same Austin network of roughly 880,000 mailboxes and kept by residents for the year. Sponsorship puts your business on or near the cover of a reference people actually hold onto.
Guides have a shelf life no other channel does. A Austin household that keeps the health guide on the refrigerator is seeing the sponsor every week for twelve months.
