I do the new patient stats for LifeWorks every Friday morning and I just wanted to share some exciting news. This week we officially tripled our number of new patients who have come from your magazine for the year to date, over the numbers for '07!! And we are not even at the year's end yet. That is a really great result - thanks for all your help.

Please consider this letter as my personal recommendation to advertise and partner with the Natural Awakenings team. Our experiences to date have been nothing short of remarkable in both outreach to the green community and the support we receive from the Natural Awakenings staff. Even though we converted our entire customer base of more than 3000 people to our organic pest control program in 2005, we didn't truly achieve the audience we needed until our partnership with the Natural Awakenings team.

In writing this letter, I would like to personally thank them for helping us to make this a banner year out of what we had forecast to be mediocre in the current economic climate.

In all the newspapers, magazines, and other areas of print advertising that I have done, the Natural Awakenings magazine has not only given me the greatest response, but has also been a source guide for those who are looking for my services.

I have personally seen the positive results from advertising in Natural Awakenings because I receive calls from new clients almost on a daily basis. Additionally, I enjoy the many articles about new and exciting things happening, not only in our community, but in the national health community as well.

I am so grateful for the ad collaboration with the News Brief. Outstanding! And thanks so much for the first slot placement.

Many Thanks!

What a GREAT AWAKENING, Jerry….
We do trade shows all across the U.S., Jerry. And we recently did a health fair sponsored by your Natural Awakenings. It was a tiny show by recent comparisons. The ones we’re used to participating in have hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of visitors. Yours had maybe 30 or 40 vendors and perhaps 1500 visitors. But we were stunned by the results.
The visitors to your show were extremely focused on alternative medical treatments and our revenue reflected that. We sold far more products relative to number of visitors than we had ever had before anywhere.
On the strength of this, we decided to run monthly advertising in your fine publication, Natural Awakenings. Once again, the results have been staggering. Nothing we’ve ever done in advertising has paid off so handsomely. Our phone has been ringing off the wall ever since our ad hit your book. People are calling to get some free samples of our products, then, they are placing orders. It’s a wonderful advertising vehicle for us and we will continue to run in Natural Awakenings. To do otherwise would be an unsound business move.
Thanks a lot, Jerry!


Dear Natural Awakenings Magazine,
I wish to convey my thanks to your magazine.  I am an advertiser who has been greatly blessed with many new customers who called when they saw my ad placed in Natural Awakenings magazines from Florida to Michigan down to Texas, Alabama,  and Georgia, to mention a few.  Most of my business occurs through the web.  Your magazine has been most instrumental in gaining new customers and getting exposure!    I consider it to be the best advertising bucks a business can spend.  Thank you for your fine commitment in  high-quality literature!
Forever a fan,
Jonna Greene, President. Islandsoapway
