The guide included where to eat and shop, local annual events, the history of Hillcrest, as well as a comprehensive directory of the services offered complete with contact information. Every year since I have picked up my trusty guide and keep it handy for quick reference. I loan it my guests that come to San Diego for a visit.

The first place I went to advertise...of course, it had to be HillQuest. Nancy and Ann are two of the most amazing and genuine women you can meet. Both have zest for life and run the business in a way that makes you feel good about living in and supporting our little local community known as Hillcrest.

The UCSD Guardian is a damn fine paper. I'm pretty closely associated with the publication, but the…read moreCalifornia College Media Association seems to like the paper as well. Speaking from experience, I can say that the editors and designers who work at the Guardian spend countless hours putting the paper together, and they get very little pay. The Guardian is a twice weekly publication. The news section is pretty comprehensive, but the best writing in the paper is in the entertainment (hiatus) section. Then again, I'm biased, but read the paper at http://www.ucsdguardian.org/ and then decide for yourself.

22 years ago to the month, I opened my Allstate Insurance agency in downtown Encinitas. Started…read moreout as a "scratch" agency which means I had not a single client when I opened. Thank goodness Chris Kydd walked in my door! The Coast News was the number 1 source of business for me for several years. It became number 2 only after referrals started coming in. Since then, I have been advertising with them continuously and still receive so much business and local recognition. Several times a week someone says to me, "I saw you in The Coast News!" So, let's just agree advertising with them works!!! Advertising is tricky. My occupation before insurance was as a sales, marketing and advertising manager. Here's the key: consistency. Don't expect 1 to 4 ads to receive huge results. The results build immediately but more so over time. Let your Coast News ad manager help you. They know their stuff! Call them today to help your business thrive. Mary Eblen
