Axxess was founded in Santa Barbara, CA in 1999 by Karim Kaderali.  Kaderali went to U.C. Santa Barbara, had fallen in love with the coastal community and was determined to start a business and make Santa Barbara his home.

The concept put a spin on traditional advertising and shunned the paper coupon. He created a Membership Program that was unique, and leveraged the advantages of print media along with online and mobile technologies.

Over the years we’ve met and developed relationships with thousands of business owners. We have gained a true understanding of their needs, what works for them and what doesn’t. Our experience has developed our expertise in marketing, sales and advertising.

Today, Santa Barbara Axxess is one of the largest and fastest growing paid consumer memberships in California, with programs in Santa Barbara, Ventura and Conejo Valley.

The most rewarding aspects of Axxess are the relationships we’ve created with local business owners, schools and non-profits, corporations, retailers and thousands of local consumers. We are a brand people trust and we’re very proud of the positive impact we’ve made in our community having raised over $700,000 for local schools and non-profits!

In 2011, Axxess was honored as “The Community Business of the Year”.
