You' re the best! I have been working with graphic artists for many years Babs. I have been known to be impossible. And everything you do you hit it in the first shot. Thanks a lot. I was wondering if i wanted to do a direct mail postcard. Can I use the same image, I think all I would do to make it fit is make the text of the coupon bigger. And sorry for all the last minute stuff. I promote and produce bodybuilding shows and have to get the program adds from my vendors by deadline they make it difficult. Sorry for being that person for you this time.Thanks again. -- Nic Younis, President - The Fit Stop, Olympia, WA

I got a call the first day the ad ran - I don't think think the he even read his mail before he picked up your Magazine and called! I can't wait for this issue to hit - a solid moneymaker for any business! -- M. Carney - PowerToLive.Net

“I have been advertising with Lee and Babs in the Community Values Magazine since March of 2002. I believe that consistency is the key to getting new clients and keeping them. Because people see my advertising in every issue of the Community Values Magazine, they will remember my picture or face and will at some point come to see me. My response has been great! I always have people saying, "I saw your ad in the Community Values Magazine". I have worked with many other advertisers in town and by far Lee and Babs are the best people to work with....they are always friendly and positive and will work with every person so they feel like the most important client they have. Bravo to Lee and Babs!!” ~ Lacey Jackson, Licensed Massage Practitioner, Dawn Touch Healing Center

We have had a great response to the coupons for our new breakfast items and the ‘alternative sandwich’, the wraps! Our goal was to expose our new menu items to at least 20,000 households, but by adding businesses to your mailing list, we have been pleasantly surprised by the catering and delivery requests that have come in as a result of the coupon offers. Thanks again for the layout too!” ~ Kaufnann Sisters, Inc., Carol, Kathy and Lynda, Bagel Bistro

“I'm delighted to offer this endorsement of the Community Values Magazine - Value being the operative word. Lee and Babs Townsend are incredible people and go not only ‘the extra mile’ but also way ‘above and beyond.’ Their magazine offers exclusivity to its clients and Lee, as a natural, powerful networker, is an extension of the magazine on his clients' behalf. Lee referred several potential clients my way over the course of the year. I made a commitment to a year's worth of advertising. For this I was given a significant discount and was able to pay from month-to-month. In addition to attracting paying clients over that year, the magazine offered additional value for my particular business. The consistent exposure ‘got the message out’ to people I know - now they know I'm coaching in a business venue. That same exposure also helped to educate part of the public on the coaching industry in general. This helps my business and other coaches in the area. All in all, I couldn't be more pleased with the results of advertising in the Community Values Magazine. Dollar-for-dollar, it's a great choice when considering marketing approaches. And you'll enjoy working with Lee and Babs!” ~ S. Kay McBreairty, Certified Integral Coach
