Over time we have received so many testimonials from readers and advertisers alike. Really too many to list them all here, but below are just a few.

Follow the lead of these business owners whom realize the full benefits of advertising in your local Coffee News!

“The exposure is there. I believe people are seeing the ads and therefore increasing their awareness and my name recognition. I like the flexibility of the ad content as well as the inter-linking of various media. I get the same exposure for less cost as the local paper and actually get better results!”

"I just want to drop a quick note to tell you what a great advertising experience I've had with the Coffee News. In the past I have used local and regional newspapers, as well as specialized parent publications in which to advertise my dance school. I paid a lot of money to run and ad for only a few short months because the cost of advertising with those publications was not realistic for my small business budget. I was really skeptical of advertising anywhere because the return I received was only enough to cover the cost of advertising in those publications.

Then I tried the Coffee News. I received so many responses to my ad within just 1 week of advertising and am still receiving calls today. I now think of the Coffee News as "the little paper that could" - because it already did! I love that it has a presence in more places than a newspaper, it is a quick and fun read, and it also has built in advertisements that make you look at them, even if while on the search for the hidden coffee guy! The Coffee News has definitely, by far, been the best and most effective advertising I have used to date. It helped me grow my business and I will definitely be recommending this to other business owners I know because it worked so successfully for me."

“In six months, I've seen a 600% return on my advertising investment! I'm very happy with my results in Coffee News!”

“An important and attractive element of Coffee News to me is the ability to advertise directly to the area of town that I am teaching in. The response to the ad has been wonderful and it certainly has proven to be an effective advertising tool for my program. I appreciate the cost-effective nature as well as the quality of the ad. I would like to see the Journal-Star try to match it!!!  While I was only able to run my ad for a short time before my classes began... I still felt I got my money’s worth.”

I just wanted to drop you a line about our ad in Coffee News. It's GREAT! As you know, we've been running an ad for several weeks and just renewed for a whole year. The response has been terrific! I can verify several new customers that came to us because of the ad.

Another great benefit to being in Coffee News is the "celebrity" status that it brings. By having my picture in the ad and having a new version of Coffee News come out each week, the public is seeing me over and over again. I find that when I speak to someone new, they recognize my name and face which brings instant credibility. I do very little advertising so I can narrow it down very well to where a person first heard of me.

Keep up the good work! You have a great product with great results. I will happily refer my business owner friends to you and Coffee News. If I can help your business in other ways, please don't hesitate to ask.

"I just had to send you an e-mail to let you know that the Coffee News advertisement is really paying off for me. This is great! I'm getting calls every week. I've performed for a four-year old's birthday party in Brandon this weekend. I've received calls for banquets, meetings, etc. Coffee News was one of the best things that I could do."

This has helped people know about my name change. Also, have done a courtyard New Orleans mural, some portraits and a faux finish job from my Coffee News ad!

We are pleased to take this opportunity to tell you how happy we are with our Coffee News advertising.

Recently, we did a complete analysis of our advertising program for the initial ten months of operations here in Bangor, Maine. In addition to advertising in one edition of your Coffee News, we also advertised in various print publications plus a local real estate ad booklet and we used extensive in-house telemarketing. We carefully tracked the responses by asking clients how they heard about us.

When we compared the amount of money devoted to each publication, Coffee News generated a net return of 4.4 times the actual cost of the ad. The next best media buy only provided a return of 2.8 times our investment.

Needless to say, we are very pleased with Coffee News and look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship. Thanks again for the great service and stop by for coffee when you are going by our new offices.
