We want you to tell us what you think!

When we startedin August 2011, we wanted to combine the power and reach of a website with email, mobile and print.

The first piece, our daily online newspaper right here at www.oc-breeze.com, is up and running. We publish news here just as fast as we can. After just 2 months we already have more than 6,700 unique visitors and a hair under 20,000 page views to our site!!

Our email strategy includes both a monthly newsletter and a daily feed from the website. (What?!? You’re not subscribed to The Daily Feed? See below for how to subscribe!)

A mobile app for iPhone, iPad and Android is under development.

And, ta-dah! We’re also working on a print publication. It will start as a 32-page monthly magazine featuring interesting stories about people, places and things in our communities’ past, present and future.

It will be delivered to the doorstep of 28,000 homes and businesses in our coverage area as well as 4,000 bulk drops at high traffic locations such as restaurants, for a total of 32,000 magazines.

Local business people, tell us what you think!
