1. The AWAKEN GUIDE, Atlanta’s Premiere Christian Business Directory, is
pleased to announce our first issue arriving in stores, Churches, Christian
Schools and fine Christian businesses in May 2013. This is a state of the art
guide that will be available in print, online and on your mobile device
complete with weekly deals capability, email marketing campaigns and
much more.
Our goal simply is to build the best market place for Christians to
support Christ centered businesses and organizations that has ever
existed, at an investment amount that practically any business can
afford. We believe that The AWAKEN GUIDE is that market place and we
want your business or
organization to participate.
Here is why The AWAKEN GUIDE makes sense for you:
• Metro Atlanta has 8.29 million residents in 16 counties of which 23% or
1.9 million attend Church on a regular basis.
• This means that you have access to consumers who believe as you
believe and want to support you but currently do not have a
professionally managed directory to find you.
• The AWAKEN GUIDE will have three issues: NW Metro, NE Metro &
Southside which means you can choose to advertise in one zone or all
three depending on where your customers live, work and shop.
• To reach the same audience through radio, television or direct mail would
cost you thousands over the course of a year and you still wouldn’t have
the bond of faith upon which to build your relationship.
• The AWAKEN GUIDE gives you the ability to reach consumers in print,
online and through our soon to be released mobile deals app all for one
low investment.
• The AWAKEN GUIDE is produced by Hardage Brand Solutions, a
company with 20 years of local advertising experience and a national
leader in the industry that has a Christ centered focus.
• We ask every advertiser to commit that they: iPad
• Proclaim Jesus Christ as their Lord & Savior (Romans 10:9)
• Demonstrate their faith through active involvement in a local
Christian church (Hebrews 10:25)
• Strive to operate their business according to biblical principles
(James 1:25)
