It's almost time... We are excited to announce that we are launching a SunriseGuide mobile coupon app, making it even easier for you to find and engage with Maine businesses that match your values. And... redeem SunriseGuide coupons from your phone! Imagine never again having to miss out on great offers because you left your SunriseGuide at home! The mobile edition will be sold individually or bundled with the print edition, so you can choose which format best fits your needs - print or mobile. Pre-order the app today and we'll ship a special packet - perfect for gifting or stuffing stockings - the week of December 15th.

The SunriseGuide makes a great gift for just about anyone on your holiday shopping list. By introducing people to the best of what's healthy, local and green in Maine AND helping them save money, the SunriseGuide is truly a gift that keeps giving all year long. And with the launch of the mobile edition this year, you can choose the format that best fits your recipients - print, mobile...or both!

There are four ways to buy the SunriseGuide:

• Visit the "Buy the Book" page on the SunriseGuide website
• Purchase it at one of 150+ retailers throughout Maine
• Buy through a local school fundraiser and support a great cause! The schools that are currently selling the book and mobile edition as a fundraiser include: Lincoln Middle School (Portland), Aucocisco School (Cape Elizabeth), Freeport High School Interact Club, Falmouth Elementary School, and (coming soon) Yarmouth High School Class of 2016. Please contact the schools directly to find out how you can purchase your SunriseGuide through their fundraiser.
• Need 10 or more copies for tenants, employees or clients? Visit our "Corporate Sales" page to learn how you can save 20-40%. We can even customize the book cover with your logo!
