Gardener Publications: About Us!
The first issue of the Guide to Greater Columbia was printed in 1990. It was designed to be a relocation guide for newcomers to learn about the Columbia area as they moved here. The Guide to Greater Charleston was added in 1994. In 2004, our third publication, Visit Columbia was first printed. Unlike the relocation guides, Visit Columbia is targeted to people staying in Columbia hotels. Our guides are distributed many ways including through employers, realtors, chambers, hotels and are direct mailed to online requests. We print over 250,000 copies in total of our magazines each year. We also operate elaborate websites at www.gardenerguides.com,
www.visit-columbia.com and www.hugerstreet.com.
Kathy, our publisher began her business in 1984. Her husband George helps her with the financial end of the business. Carmen, our graphic designer has worked here for 6 1/2 years, Tina our office manager/sales coordinator has worked here for 2 1/2 years and Jennifer, our sales rep has been here over 1 year.
Our company is trying to grow. We are currently seeking new office space which will enable us to add a few more people and possibly begin some other publications. We also plan on expanding our online advertising opportunities and need people to market these to businesses. We hope to move this year, but finding the right location has been more challenging than we thought it would be! For more info, email: kathy@gardenerguides.com
