about the publisher
Our founder, Bobby Adkins grew up in Austin and graduated from the University of Texas Advertising School in 1979. He has spent his entire advertising career helping local businesses by driving leads and increasing sales through effective ad campaigns.
He started publishing Austin Elegant Living Magazine in 2003 with the concept of direct mailing a glossy magazine to the top homes in Austin. In 2010 Elegant Living expanded into the San Antonio market with great success. Both editions have become a favorite among Austin and San Antonio consumers. They tell us they look forward to the “inspiration and ideas for a beautiful home & lifestyle” they find inside each month.
More than ever people want to find services and products to help them live happy and productive lives close to home.
About Elegant Living
Elegant Living Magazine is a Family Owned & Operated Company based in Austin, Texas. Our publications boast full color magazines printed on high quality glossy, 100% recycled paper that directly mails to the top income homes in the markets of Austin and San Antonio. We offer double full page, full page & half page ad space.
Our commitment to our readers has always been to feature only “quality focused” home improvement companies. The Elegant Living reader values punctuality and exceptional craftsmanship over discount prices. It is our desire that our readers feel safe and secure inviting an Elegant Living advertiser into their homes to bid and complete their project.
Elegant Living Magazine never features an advertiser on its cover. Research has shown us that by keeping our cover free of advertisement, our reader keeps our magazine in their home much longer. Which of course, gives our advertisers a greater opportunity to gain more business!
