getting a load of calls lately

I wanted to let you know that I have been getting a load of calls lately from people who see me in the magazine. It has been paying off. Thanks for encouraging me to hang in there.

BY FAR the best use of advertising dollars!

September was my first month advertising my business, Sérendipité Organiques in Natural Awakenings. It is BY FAR the best use of advertising dollars! I’ve already had five people come into my store from seeing my ad, and it’s only the 17th of September!

the best response I’ve had from any publication

I have received 3-4 new customers so far from my ad in Natural Awakenings. It has been the best response I’ve had from any publication so far. Yes, I’d like to go back to the directory listing after May. The demographics of Natural Awakenings fits my service quite well. Thanks

I had four new customers through my website this morning who mentioned my ad in Natural Awakenings. One of those customers accessed my information from the on-line version. I just want to thank you!

I’m definitely a believer in your magazine.

We had a full house for our free introductory classes recently. The majority of them, new to the studio, mentioned they learned about them in Natural Awakenings. I’m definitely a believer in your magazine.

8 of 9 attended due to Natural Awakenings

I had 9 mothers, the most I could accommodate, attend my “Back to School Lunches and Snacks” workshop and 8 of them attended as a result of reading about it in the August Children’s Health issue. It’s great to have this fantastic resource.

thanks so much!

We’ve been longtime advertisers in Natural Awakenings Magazine of West Michigan… like, literally for our entire 13 years of existence as a company! 😍 Over & over, people tell us THAT is where they first heard of EcoTrek Fitness. 💚🌿 This month’s little “news brief” on us was such a nice bonus — thanks, Pam! #HighlyRecommend

The magazine is getting read with results.

This Sunday our Toole meditation group at Christ Community Church in Spring Lake had three new delightful visitors. One man came from Douglas, and we had a beautiful young couple from Grand Rapids. They all had read the notice in the Natural Awakenings, Healthy Living magazine. So! The magazine is getting read with results. I am very thankful to all concerned.

wonderful for the growth of my business

Our ad in your magazine draws in better results for us even over radio.

I would like you to know how pleased John & I are with Natural Awakenings. The advertising we do with you has created great results for us over the last 4 years. I can tell when the magazine goes out, the phone calls & emails start. Makes me smile…
I don’t know if I’ve ever shared with you, we chart our advertising as attendees arrive. Our ad in your magazine draws in better results for us even over radio. That piece happily amazes us, why we would never do an expo without you!!

You are obviously extremely strategic where you place the magazines for distribution.

We applaud you, your efforts and would highly recommend you to others. Looking forward to working together in a few months.

Love light, spread light…

Natural Awakenings was the first and only venue that showed instant and continuous pay-back

I have spent three years trying every print media available on the Front Range in order to get local attention and sales. Natural Awakenings was the first and only venue that showed instant and continuous pay-back. Natural Awakenings worked so well that I’ve expanded my campaign with them twice and will continue to grow with it. This is truly a cornerstone publication for any advertising portfolio.

We definitely want to renew our contract

We have been very busy this past year and our store has grown in spite of the economy. We owe a lot of it to your magazine. More and more people have called us from all over west Michigan for appointments and to come to our classes. We definitely want to renew our contract with Natural Awakenings.

they saw our ad and learned of us in your magazine

We definitely want to continue our advertising with Natural Awakenings and renew our contract for another year. We received a lot of positive feedback regarding your publication and many folks mentioned they saw our ad and learned of us in your magazine. We are happy to support such a great publication!
