Dear community supporter of Amigos805,

2014 was another great year reaching our audience in the Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties region and meeting our goal of “Bringing cultures together by sharing information.”

By the end of 2014, we reported more than 2.6 million hits and and more than 70,000 unique visitors to our website. Our weekly e-newsletter list continues to grow, and we have more than 300 likes and more than 500 friends on Facebook and 180 followers on Twitter.

Thank you, community advertisers, for helping to sustain Amigos805 during our growing period. Your continued support has been vital as the economy continues its unsteady economic recovery.

We enjoy serving our community and providing every opportunity possible to offer nonprofit organizations with space in our media release links section, calendar listings, blog postings and our rotating PSA section on our website, and also in our weekly e-newsletter and monthly online magazine.

But, we are a small, independent, minority-owned business. We do not have unlimited resources and we are not financially backed by any major media companies. In essence, we are a mom and pop business trying to provide the best media coverage for our audience.

We will continue to appeal to potential advertising supporters of Amigos805 to sustain our efforts. Please consider us in your advertising budget or tell businesses or organizations you patronize to advertise in Amigos805. Amigos805’s advertising rates offer an affordable option to reach Latinos and others in the 805 region.

We will also accept donations to Amigos805.

Our goal for 2015 is to continue to grow and improve our multi-platform media efforts. But we need your help to do that and to continue our operation.

Thank you very much for helping Amigos805 celebrate its seventh year in operation and for helping us grow as a vital media resource for the entire community in the 805 region.

Sincerely,

… Frank X. Moraga / Amigos805
