Our History
GARP was born in August, 1993 as the Great American Rideshare Program, part of California's state-mandated employee rideshare program. Published monthly in both English and Spanish, the GARP Gazette's bright and breezy, informative style made it a hugely successful component of California's clean air campaign.

We soon realized that if we could make rideshare interesting, we could make anything interesting. So in January 1996 we established ourselves on the World Wide Web and began to GARP the globe as Good And Ready Publications.

Now we provide comprehensive, custom newsletter services to a wide range of businesses and organizations that include law offices, Realtors, veterans organizations, mortgage brokers, insurance agents and auto dealers. We invite you to check our References.

With the advent of electronic newsletter production, the newsletter business took a giant leap forward, and so did we. Proofing changed from a laborious, time-consuming and often frustrating operation, to a super-efficient process that did much to improve the overall quality of the finished publication. Electronic production and distribution is not only vastly more cost-effective than traditional printing and mailing, it also provides lightning-fast delivery.

However, despite the technological advances, we remain a custom newsletter house and cling to the traditional values we began with. We proudly service the many companies who still find that the solid, physical presence of printed newsletters, distributed by US mail or handed out by reps on the road, remain their best option.

Our Concept
We all genuinely feel that what we have to share about our own particular business is both fascinating and important. Strangely, many of those we feel would benefit the most from this information just do not agree, and can soon become bored and tune out.

The result is that many newsletters are tossed away unread. Worse, if we persist, we risk annoying and even alienating the very people we hope to attract.

For a commercial newsletter to succeed it must entertain as well as inform.

The real purpose of sending out a newsletter on a regular basis is not just to sell. It is to create enough of an interest in your organization that it generates a contact. It may take several issues, but you certainly don't want to lose them before then!

We have been creating effective custom newsletters since 1993 - newsletters that get read! So if you would like to generate more response from your mailing list, we know how to do it.
