The Power of Community in the Ozark Regional Directory

NATCO is thrilled to announce the 2023-2024 publication of the Ozark Regional Directory (ORD). With a remarkable legacy of over four decades and an inclusive listing of 2,500 local businesses and organizations, the directory proudly holds the title of the longest-running and most reliable area guide in the heart of north-central Arkansas. The circulation footprint spans Marion, Boone, and Baxter counties, with over 20,000 copies distributed annually. The latest edition of the ORD is already making its way to mailboxes and official distribution points.

Over the course of 40 years of production, the Ozark Regional Directory has evolved into more than a phone book. NATCO President and General Manager, Steven Sanders Jr., explains, "In our close-knit, rural community, 'local' is a way of life. Here, we understand the power of community. Our economic choices are intertwined with a genuine desire to support our neighbors. The directory isn't just a book; it's a tool for local businesses and testament to NATCO's commitment to making our community thrive and prosper."

The Ozark Regional Directory stands as a reliable beacon of stability in our community and in this ever-evolving digital landscape. What truly sets it apart is its user-friendly accessibility. Businesses don't need to possess an encyclopedic knowledge of SEO strategies, web development, or digital advertising. The ORD gives them customer visibility while saving them the time and headache of trying to get in the Google search results. The ORD's focus remains firmly on connecting organizations with the community, simplifying the process for both business owners and their local clientele.

The ORD is particularly popular with tourists. Between the Arkansas Visitor's Center in Harrison and the Gaston's Visitor's Center in Bull Shoals, we distribute nearly 200 books each month to people exploring our beautiful region. And that's not all; area banks, chambers of commerce, realtors, and various other locations partner with NATCO to host distribution stands.

• Flippin: NATCO Office, Arvest, Anstaff Bank, Ozark Realty
• Bull Shoals: Gaston's Visitor Center, Chamber of Commerce at the Bull Shoals Library
