Some of our best advertising
for Coffee News
comes from those who use Coffee
News. The success of Coffee
News speaks for itself!
"When we moved from Fairfax to Warrenton,
we knew, as REALTORS, it was imperative that
we get our name and face out into the market.
The large number of businesses that display
Coffee News gave us the opportunity
to do just that. We have visited establishments
that carry Coffee News and have
been recognized by other customers. This has
allowed us to engage in conversations with these
customers, assess their real estate needs, and
add them to our Client Appreciation Program
as potential buyers or sellers. The cost is
reasonable. You can't go wrong advertising in
Coffee News."
Tom & Shelley Campbell, Long & Foster Realtors

"In the advertising arena there are a
vast array of products, publications and media
available to carry our message. We practice
and recommend a targeted approach to advertising,
trying as much as possible to get our information
into the hands of the people who want and need
our services with as little wasted effort and
expense as possible. After years of tracking
how new customers come to find us, we have chosen
to invest our advertising dollars in three methods
of promotion:
-
Direct mail campaigns using promotional products as incentives
-
Trade shows like the Fauquier Home and Business Expo
- Coffee News
Why? From the first day of our partnership
with them they have produced. The telephone
rang and prospects said ‘I saw your ad
in Coffee News.’ These are prospects who
became customers.
If you can secure a spot in Coffee News, we
recommend that you do so.”

"I am very happy with my advertisement
in the Coffee News. The price is
reasonable for the repeat advertisement and
the results are fantastic and worth it."

"Coffee
News was an excellent vehicle to get
our employment opportunities out to the local
community. Since we were looking to fill trade
positions in Warrenton, what better way to spread
the news than through your local newsletter.
We were very happy with the response we received
and feel the newsletter helped us locate many
fine prospects. Thank You Coffee News."

"Coffee
News has been a great form of advertising
for my company. Because it targets the exact
clientele I'm looking for and locks out the
competition because of its unique format of
only one advertiser per category, I really find
Coffee News an important part
of my advertising and marketing plan. The owner
of Coffee News is easy to work
with and was very helpful in creating my ad."

"I
wanted to thank you not only for the great product
you offer-but also for the great service.
Being
the Chair for the Loudoun County Chamber of
Commerce Job Fair, I wanted to place an ad in
your paper. My hope was the visibility to help
those looking for jobs or career changes to
be made aware of the Job Fair.
The
first day the paper hit the streets, I received
six (6) calls-and not only were they from job
seekers, but from corporations wanting to exhibit
in the Job Fair! Every call I receive, I ask
them where they heard about the Job Fair...and
your paper was very easy to identify...they
would say, 'It's the flyer on brown paper.'
I
look forward to sharing this testimonial with
potenial clients for you that Coffee
News
is a great marketing tool..."

"I
just wanted to let you know that the Fauquier
Community Band really appreciates the great
publicity in the Coffee News!
As you know, we are a strictly volunteer, non-profit
group and don’t use money at all, so we
really appreciate any help in letting the community
know that we exist and are always looking for
new members.
I recently got a call from Jim Westerhouse,
the musical director at Wakefield School near
the Plains. Wakefield and the Archwood Community
Theater group were putting on a musical at the
school, and needed a few more volunteer musicians
to play in the orchestra; Jim called to ask
if anyone from the Community Band might be interested.
It turned out that a couple of us were, and
it worked out just great. The orchestra for
the musical got a boost, the Fauquier Community
Band got additional exposure and publicity,
and we made some new friends and had so much
fun playing there. When I asked Jim where he
had heard about the Community Band, he said
he saw it in Coffee News!
Thanks
again for printing such a great publication!
It’s always fun to read, and we are very
grateful for your support."

"After
seeing Coffee News in so many
establishments, I decided to place an advertisement.
I knew that my advertisement would reach a large
amount of people. The first week I appeared
in Coffee News, I began receiving
calls regarding my Electrolysis Services. I've
advertised in numerous publications, never receiving
the response that I receive advertising in Coffee
News. I highly recommend advertising
in Coffee News if you're
looking to reach clients/customers at a reasonable
cost.
Thank
you Coffee News,
I'm glad I decided to place an advertisement
with you."

"In
an effort to make more people in the metropolitan
region aware of Youth For Tomorrow's Annual
Country Fair and Auctions in October 2005, and
having a very limited advertising budget for
the event, I sought help from Cindy at Coffee
News . She helped us plan a strategy
that would get the event listed in Fairfax,
Fauquier, Loudoun and Prince William counties
for a very reasonable price. We had the largest-ever
attendance for the Fair!
Naturally, when we needed to promote the Annual
Sweetheart Ball in February, I called Cindy
again. The first day the ad appeared in Coffee
News , the number of calls to YFT increased
and ticket sales began to climb.
It is wonderful to have a publication like Coffee
News that is responsive to non-profit
advertising needs. It provides an avenue for
getting our message to the people we want to
reach in a simple format. There is no need for
people to flip through multiple pages of paper
to find our ad! There is no question that we
are achieving our goals of making people more
aware of YFT and its mission to support at-risk
adolescents in the metropolitan region."

"How
exciting to see how Coffee News
has helped get the word out that we support
those that are ill, dying and bereaved and those
that journey with them. One women was feeling
discouraged and needed support but had no idea
how to get that support. She went in to Arbys
to get some food and there to her surprise was
a copy of the Coffee News advertising
our Inspirational Study at our Ministry Center
and she attended the next day and was encouraged.
Thank you for getting the word out and doing
a job that no other paper seems to do. Blessings
on all your efforts to help us do advertising
in a way that works."

"I
am very fortunate to have had my first advertising
experience be with Coffee News.
The staff provided me with prompt service, which
included several sample ads for me to decide
on. Once I had made my decision, my ad was off
and running generating business. I received
a multitude of inquiries stemming from the ad
in Coffee News, and would strongly
suggest them to any business in need of recognition
amongst the local community."

"I
began my very first advertising in Coffee
News 3 months ago for 13 weeks. After
only the second week, I had already received
emails regarding music bookings and from people
who recognized me from past and present singing
performances. For just a short period of time,
a country/rock band had contacted me by email
of possibly performing in their band and auditioning.
I would recommend anyone of any type of business
to advertise in Coffee News at
an inexpensive cost, but with tremendous feedback."

"This
is my first time advertising in Coffee
News and I must say it has been a really
good step for starting my business. Not only
is the price reasonable, not only is the staff
very nice people who really care about their
customers and are very excited about their work,
but the most important thing is that your ad
will get recongnized. I have been getting calls,
and I have new customers thanks to Coffee
News. I would highly recommend advertising
with Coffee News since my experience
has been excellent."

"Coffee
News is a good way to get your face
seen in a lot of different places. I think it
is good, cheap advertising if you are part of
a small community and your goal is local recognition.
I cannot say that I have gotten a client as
a direct result of the Coffee News
ad, but I have gotten numerous comments about
the ad and feel it has helped in the broader
sense of local credibility. I think you need
to run it consistently for several months to
get the recognition result I am talking about..."

"Not
only is Coffee News fun and interesting
to read, but also it has increased my private
chaufferuring business. Since selling the Limousine
Service to one of my Chauffeurs, the only people
that knew how to get in touch with me were my
regular clients that kept me on to do private
chauffeuring for them. Now clients past and
present are finding me. Coffee News
is the reason for my growth. Also, friends that
I have made over the years are calling and saying
they saw my ad in Coffee News.
It is great!"

"It
has been a wonderful experience to advertise
in Coffee
News.
The staff has been very easy to work with and
very eager to work the ads to my satisfaction!
I find Coffee
News
in just about every family restaurant and entertainment
establishment so it is well worth the advertising!"
Denise
Blackford, Java Haven Gourmet Coffee

"Being
part of Coffee News is special
because of the exclusivity of the advertising.
Only one business in a category is advertised
so that each business in Coffee News
is unique and without competition. The ads are
rotated fairly so that each business has an
equal chance to be in a prime space in the paper.
I am pleased with the number of locations that
Coffee News is placed and I understand
there will be even more locations added. The
main reason for advertising is to make sure
your business is visible and Coffee News
fits the bill. The cost is very reasonable for
the amount of exposure the business gets. Many
have said they seen my advertisiment. One can
not go wrong with Coffee News."

"Coffee
News, a new and innocative way to advertise
your business 24-7 with local businesses in
your target market area. It's just big enough
and newsy enough to keep your interest with
short local stories. The placement of the ads
allows you a broad view in one sweep of the
eye. I was able to connect with a vendor that
I had lost contact with and desperately needed
his goods for the holidays. That connection
helped me increase my basket sales over the
holidays. "
Shirley

"My
ad in Coffee
News
has generated calls and conversation from prominent
neighbors and the staff has made the advertising
process easy. They designed an eye-catching
ad within my specifications in a very short
amount of time. I'm thrilled to be a part of
Coffee
News!"

"I
have explored many avenues of print advertising
as I build my business. I am always surprised
at the expense. Not only do you spend a large
amount of money, but the return never seems
to be worth it. I have never experienced a time
when a sales rep checked in with me, invited
me into some networking opportunities, or just
plain down wanted to help promote me. Then I
met Cindy Goff with Coffee News.
I was immediately impressed with her personable,
interested approach. She is so excited about
helping small business owners, and she does
so many things to make sure her clients are
happy. Within a month of running my ad I received
two calls. I have never received a call from
any print ad before. Cindy also offers her clients
the chance to be featured in her newsletter
to promote their business even further. What
other newspaper goes that extra mile? I am pleased
to have found Coffee News and
I would encourage anyone who is looking for
an inexpensive alternative to standard newspaper
advertising to strongly consider Coffee
News."
