about us

Who is Greer Wylder?

For 14 years, Greer wrote about fashion, dining and trends in Orange County, first as a popular columnist for the Daily Pilot and now as founder of Greer’s OC. Do you have a friend who always seems to be ahead of the trends, who has great taste, who has a great sense of humor and who you just like being around? That’s Greer.

She’s also a mother of four boys and married to a journalist. In her spare time, Greer runs marathons and loves to cook.

What is Greer’s OC?

It’s a website and free daily e-mail service (called "A Daily Dose of OC") for Orange County that tips you to hot new retail stores, great bargains (available only to free subscribers to "A Daily Dose of OC"), undiscovered dining spots and the latest products and services.

Tell me about the free daily e-mail I can get called "A Daily Dose of OC"

It takes about one minute to sign up. You can do it here. Each day, you’ll receive a short, fun, information-dense shopping or dining tip in your e-mail inbox. It might be about a store opening at South Coast Plaza, a new dish being served at a Fashion Island restaurant or a funky piece of furniture that turned up in a Laguna Beach shop.

What else do I get by subscribing to the free e-mails?

Plenty. You get special deals form Orange county retailers and restaurants available only to "A Daily Dose of OC" subscribers. In the upcoming months, you can receive free Greer’s OC podcasts that include interviews with cutting-edge retailers and award-winning restaurateurs.

Will you ever sell or give my e-mail address to others?

No. Never.

Is it hard to unsubscribe?

No. Just click on the "Unsubscribe" button at the bottom of each e-mail and you will be off the list.

What’s the catch?

There’s none.

Do advertisers pay to be featured?

No. Greer can’t be bought. This website is funded by the advertisements it sells. Occasionally, Greer will send out a "Greer’s Special" e-mail that features and is paid for by an advertiser.

What if I have a tip for Greer?

Please, pass it along. Greer’s email address is greer@greersoc.com

What about advertising?

For retailers and restaurateurs, Greer’s OC delivers super-motivated shoppers and diners with none of the waste circulation endemic to old media. For more information, e-mail advertising@greersoc.com or call (949) 300-8713.
