I'd like to express my gratitude to you and your magazine for the article you did on our company. From the interview process and photography, to the written article, your professionalism made it enjoyable, and we are extremely happy with the result.

Builder/Architect has been a wonderful resource for me to find out who's who in the Western North Carolina building community. Knowing that it goes to HBA members, as well as architects and designers in the region, tells me that our advertising is getting into the right hands.

Hank Strauss

Builder/Architect has done an exemplary job in meeting our needs and demands as a growing company. It reaches the audience of clientele that stimulates our business model in a cost effective and productive way. Our advertising dollar spent with Builder/Architect has outperformed all other medias we are currently involved with.

Builder/Architect provides information that is much needed and promotes the sharing of ideas that will only improve our business.

“I came in contact with Builder/Architect magazine by way of a special builder who uses our unique product. After speaking with the publisher, Deborah Yarbrough-West, I became more interested in advertising with her especially after she had mentioned a certain company that wanted to advertise with her. But after I showed her some real data on the product she decided not to allow them to advertise. Its clear to me she is honest and genuine. She wants to bring the best to her readers and she does. “

Builder/Architect is a quality publication geared toward a quality audience, and I'm proud to be a part of it. We don't do a lot of advertising, but I have always felt that my advertising dollar has been well spent with your magazine. I hope your readers feel the same way- that Builder/Architect is being supported by companies who really care about quality.

M.D. NEWS

During the past few years, Lakeland has found MD News to be an exceptional communication channel to reach primary care, specialty and sub-specialty physicians with our key messages related to quality, technology and medical expertise.

MD News has helped Lakeland reach Western Michigan physicians with key messages related to key service lines such as cardiovascular and orthopedics. We also have benefited from the reprint articles which we distribute to physician offices, board members and other key influencers.

Thank You for helping Lakeland through the years, reach this very important audience.

Hello Steve,
I just wanted to thank M.D. News Albuquerque/Santa Fe for the opportunity to market Relaxations. We received a tremendous response about Club R™ and sold several memberships as well as gift certificates from our marketing with M.D. News. Keep up the great work and we look forward to working with you again in 2007.

After advertising in M.D. News, SpaceMakers received a number of calls from physicians and their office staff for custom closets and home offices. We sold six new jobs in addition to receiving numerous referrals from these new clients. I highly recommend M.D. News as an advertising vehicle to reach the physician community.

Georgia Pain Physicians, PC is a leading pain center in the southeast United States. We have advertised with M.D. News on several occasions. I will not hesitate to use M.D. News in the future and recommend that others consider their services as well. Each time we have used their services, they have been professional and prompt. Their writers and publisher have performed extremely well and have always produced an extremely professional article that has served for both advertising and PR purposes.

Founder/CEO

While I receive numerous magazines each week from JAMA to New England Journal of Medicine, I enjoy reading MD News as it helps physicians communicate on a local level. Every physician has a different preference to their magazine, but it is a nice to see what is going on in our medical community.

Asthma Allies wishes to thank you for the Albuquerque/Santa Fe Edition of MD News. The publication contains a great variety of articles and information.
When we chose to place an ad in MD News for our spirometry course, we were pleasantly surprised to receive such wonderful feedback from your readers. With the ad, we were able to fill our course much sooner than expected. We now have a waiting list for our next course!
Please continue including the numerous resources and variety of information to the healthcare community.

We may have an advertising opportunity in NM coming up. The Albuquerque doctors were aware of and had a favorable impression of their MD News’ short history.

Linda Thomas
Director of Communications
Advanced Neuromodulation Systems

I just wanted to write and tell you what a great initial response we have received as a result of our recent editorial content which appeared in M.D. News. Almost immediately, the cover feature generated many information calls, which soon resulted in several new patients. We are one of only a handful of centers that specialize in a unique type of anesthesia assisted treatment for opiate abuse, and we are one of only three in the nation that perform anesthesia assisted detox in a fully accredited hospital. We hope that with the help of MD News, we will continue to reach more people in need of our services.

Nancy Ryan
Florida Detox

Hi Steve,

The doctors and I want you to know how pleased we are with the results of our advertising in your publication. We had an immediate response to our ad from many physicians in and outside of Albuquerque. This response made it obvious to us that the doctors were reading the magazine. We think that the magazine is a great addition to the medical community in New Mexico because it informs doctors of other practices that they may not know about.

We wish you continued success and hope the magazine grows in 2007.

As an entrepreneur and like all business owners, I struggle with the decision, “Is this the best use of my money?” We don’t want to spend money on something that’s not going to make us more money. That has not been the case with our MD News special feature story. After it was published, I was pleasantly surprised at the number of our associates that requested reprints of the article and to this day the demand for more copies continues. Prospective customers and business partners find the reprints professionally appealing and they also provide our organization with more credibility and presence.

The feature article has gotten very positive response from our existing customers and has opened doors to several new opportunities with new clients. We use the reprints as both a mailer and handouts for marketing interviews.

The monthly advertising has provided additional value for Cain Millwork, Inc. being recognized by decision makers... resulting in our company being considered for several major high profile projects. We are very pleased with the results of your publication.

You have our highest recommendation as the trade publication of choice.

Being featured in Commercial Builder/Architect brought tremendous visibility to Tishman’s Boston office. I was pleasantly surprised to hear the amount of positive feedback from decision-makers and influencers in the industry. The feature was much more effective than a brochure or a general business press ‘hit’, since it was directed to our target audience and was written in a credible manner with real-time news. The quality reprints are also a great supplement to our proposals and marketing packages.

Scott Bates
Vice President
Tishman Construction Corporation of Massachusetts

Bennett & Brosseau Roofing, Inc. appreciates the opportunity of having our story published as the Special Feature in last month's issue. Your time, effort and expertise were invaluable in helping to develop this piece.

Thank you for your continuing support, and we wish you long-lasting success.

Jeff Kaplan and Household Inspection Team were featured in the December issue of Real Estate Executive Magazine and here’s what he had to say:

“The featured story in Real Estate Executive has created a lot of excitement from our clients. We have created another level of professionalism in their eyes about our commitment to service.”

Our goal is to maintain our level of visibility by continuing our efforts with advertising. We have received numerous compliments about an outstanding job that we have done as well as referrals for new business.

Our initial return on investment stemmed from new referrals and lots of comments about me and our company.

As an overall assessment of REE Magazine, It is a professional publication with lots of added value for what you receive in your package deal. I also think that a key component to REE is that I met a super guy Andy Rees. I liked his aggressive approach on helping me market my organization and the benefits of how REE could take our business to the next level.

Jeff Kaplan
President
Household Inspection Team, Inc

Our business has (literally) exploded since the magazine with our feature was published! As a new business we went from "who's that?" to "who's that!". The combination of the showcase in the magazine of our four-color, four-page feature and our own distribution of the high quality reprints has helped our business grow significantly and it continues to grow!

We are planning to take our business to the next level and will be launching the new service in your magazine first with another Special Feature! Thank you, Real Estate Executive! You are No. 1 in our book!

John Cruise

Our experience with The Real Estate Executive was beyond expectation! The exposure was awesome. The pictures were professional, as was the interaction with the staff. Virtually hands free and absolutely wonderful! Thanks a million.

Judy Johns and The Johns Family Team
Keller Williams

I wanted to share with you our feelings of the services that Real Estate Executive has provided our company. We do not work face -to-face with many of our clients, and the Lender Profile you created for us gives us support in creating a "personal touch" and projecting our professional image. The print and photo quality are top notch and the story is well written. Our customers are certainly impressed as we receive compliments on it all the time! However, the most important benefit to me is the company pride it instills in our personnel. Our people are very proud to send this to their clients and business partners. Thanks for your support of our continued success and we look forward to our ongoing relationship with you and Real Estate Executive.

I wanted to take this opportunity to compliment you on the terrific job that you do on your monthly magazine, Real Estate Executive. The quality has been nothing short of excellent. My staff and I look forward to reading the cover story month after month on a different top producer, as well as the outstanding editorials! We recommend your magazine to any company that wants to attract the attention of the movers and shakers in real estate and grow their share of this highly desirable market!

R. Todd Stigall
Associate Publisher
Homes & Land Magazine

Let me begin by thanking you for all your support and encouragement. I feel that you have been a big factor in helping me get established and get exposure in the real estate market. Real Estate Executive magazine is a phenomenal magazine. The quality of the magazine is second to none. I love the glossy paper, the beautiful color, and the super articles that run each and every month. The quality of my advertisement is first rate and I appreciate the exposure I get each month because I know all the top real estate agents read your magazine. Thanks again for all the intangibles that come from advertising in Real Estate Executive.

Scott A. Neidigk

TexStar Labs, LLC.

First of all, I must say that it was truly an honor to have been featured in the Lender Profile of the Real Estate Executive magazine. In our market, it is almost impossible to personally visit with 10,000 Real Estate Professionals and 2,500 Builders. The fact that your magazine is delivered to 3,000 of the top 10,000 Realtors in our market has opened doors that I never imagined possible. The amount of notoriety and the networking opportunities that I have been afforded as a result of the feature story has been an answer to my prayers. My business has grown by leaps and bounds and it would not have been possible in such a short period of time without your story. Your magazine is truly a pillar of our Real Estate Community and I hope that you continue your work for many years to come.

DOCTOR OF DENTISTRY

Having written articles for various professional publications over the years, I must say that I received more positive comments and feedback from the Doctor of Dentistry article than any other publication. Because of this high level of positive feedback, I have decided to be a regular contributor of information about orthodontics. I know the magazine is well read among dentists in the state.

My patients also commented very positively about the story, and I consider it a first class professional way to communicate with patients in a detailed and non-intrusive manner.

Dr. Darell Angle
Angle Orthodontics

I just received the July issue of Doctor of Dentistry Magazine. What a great job! I like to read this magazine because the articles are concise and informative, and the whole magazine is very reader friendly. It is probably the only dental magazine I read every month.

Dr. Gregory C. Dilger

After contributing several articles to Doctor of Dentistry magazine over the last couple months, I wanted to let you know that I have received numerous phone calls from all over the state. These doctors called to ask questions and to get advice about several of the topics I wrote about. You know, I write articles for national dental magazines, and I don't get this much response.

Keep up the good work.

V. Kim Kutsch, D.M.D.

I highly recommend Doctor of Dentistry magazine to anyone who is considering marketing to dentists. The Special Feature that ran in the May issue of Doctor of Dentistry resulted in over 20 calls in just the first week. All the calls were very complimentary of the story.
