Give it to us straight.
OUR FIRST SURVEY

A groundswell is brewing. NOLAlicious has steadily grown since we launched this January, but in the past month we�ve seen a lot more newcomers to the newsletter. That tells us we�re doing something right (you voted us best enewsletter in New Orleans in The Gambit�s Web Awards)!

But we�re still a work in progress, and we�d love your help to make NOLAlicious be the best we can be. Thus, we�ve created our first survey! Here�s your chance to give it to us straight. You can answer the questions anonymously, but if you enter your email address at the bottom of the survey, you�ll be entered into a drawing to win one of two prizes (either a NOLAlicious T-shirt or a $25 donation in your name to the local nonprofit of your choice). The survey will be open until next Thursday (8/5) at noon CST and we�ll be naming the winner Thursday afternoon on Facebook.

One thing is for certain: when we started NOLAlicious we had no idea what we were getting into. Originally a passion project between three recent transplants to New Orleans, we now feel like proud parents! We�ve created 29 issues and 5 special issues, 3 versions of the website (long-time followers might remember the short-lived version #2!), added 2 writers and interns, and have advertisers knocking on our door.

So let�s make a deal. We�ll continue to deliver you the best enewsletter we can, and you�ll continue to hold us to our promise. And maybe along the way you�ll submit a tip or a job posting, forward NOLAlicious to a few of your friends, or press �like� and share NOLAlicious on Facebook, or place an ad or sponsor a newsletter? Deal?

Yours,

Carl, Taylor and Sloane
