More letters that we have received in the past from a few satisfied customers giving their experience.

"To Whom It Concern:

We have recieved well over 200 coupons in the first 2 weeks. This is the best responce out of any paper I have advertized in. Well satisfied."

"To Whom It May Concern:

We tried all other local papers with same ad and did nothing. Our total for the month of August was over 450 coupons.

Very Pleased."

"Hi Steve,

I went to Larrie's Butcher Shop yesterday. He said look at this! He opened his desk drawer and pulled out a stack of coupons he ran in your last issue! He said it's been the best response from all his ads so far! Please call me! re: re: Costs, sizes of ads (coupons vs. no coupons)! Thanks!

PS. Word to mouth is still the best way to advertising, but...."

"Dear Gazette staff,

We just wanted you to know we received a total of 232 coupons back from our ad in the October 2000 issue. I will continue to advertise and support your paper. Keep up the good work."

"Dear Diane, (The Gazette)

Thanks so much for the fabulous ads & writeup on Cada Corner. The coupons are coming back in & new customers every day!

I especially appreciate the expertise in creating our ad/coupon - your help was greatly appreciated.

Your rates make it possible for us to advertise in a much larger area then we could afford otherwise.

Look forward to a long and prosperous relationship!"

"Gazette,

I just wanted to let you know that we had over 50 coupons returned when we ran our "buy one get one free drink" coupon in your paper. This is the best response we have had from any advertising that we have done. I have tried all the local papers and the response wasn't as great, in fact the other papers put together do not compare to how well your paper worked for me.

I just wanted to tell you that I appreciate your service to business owners and the content of your paper is outstanding as well."

"Dear Steve & Dani,

Just a note to thank you for the great write up on R & L. The month the write up came out, we were up 700%. That's right. Never dreamed. Your paper didn't just bring us business, it made our business."

"Editors & Daine DeFord:

We had a very good response to our large ad and story in your December issue. We would like the readers of your paper and your advertisers to know of the positive effects of your ad, by letting them know of the winners in the drawing.

For your information, we recieved more of the coupons from your ad than we did in our own local paper which had the same coupon. We could distinquish between the two papers because when the ad was cut out the word Gazette appeared on the back of your coupons. As you can see from the winners, we reached a wide section of the community. Some of the winners were on in house entrys.

I hope you can find space to print the story. Feel free to ad or alter the story as presented to you."
