About The BUSINESS GUIDE...

The BUSINESS GUIDE is the single most comprehensive business-to-business resource available to executives, decision makers, and the sales teams of major and emerging businesses in key Texas cities today and across the nation tomorrow. It is the tool to communicate your company message, generate sales leads, and find business and industry information. It is the gateway to the top 4,000 major and emerging businesses through its annual print publication and to10,000 more contact names through its monthly updated dynamic online database. And it’s growing to be more!

Originating six years ago as an annual print publication available to Dallas businesses, The BUSINESS GUIDE entered the Houston market in 1999 when publisher, Vision Media, purchased the rights to Houston and other cities.Widely accepted its first year in Houston, The BUSINESS GUIDE: Houston was immediately recognized by business leaders and Mayor Lee Brown as a vital resource for locating other area companies, products, services, and key business contacts. It was, they said, a required resource to build and grow business.

Two brief years later, the publishers, following their own visionary instincts, re-invented The BUSINESS GUIDE, creating a new model that responds even more effectively to the New Economy -- a fast, easy and complete city-specific resource available as an annual print publication and a dynamic online website -- each leading business to business.

The BUSINESS GUIDE works for business people as a multi-purpose tool. Targeted to executives, decision makers and sales teams it is used to generate sales and leads, it is also designed to communicate a company’s message through advertising using its two strong attention-getting vehicles: The BUSINESS GUIDE book, and The BUSINESS GUIDE Online, www.TheBusinessGuide.net.

According to publishers Sheila Harrison and Sylvia Compton, “We see the successful model of this book expanding to more than 60 major cities in the US over the next 5 years. With the combination of an attractive, quality book and a highly interactive website, The BUSINESS GUIDE will grow rapidly into other vital business communities throughout the country.”

The BUSINESS GUIDE created its own niche, eliminating the necessity for business professionals to subscribe to multiple resources to acquire critical information. From Texas to across the nation and around the world, The BUSINESS GUIDE is taking off!
