What Our Advertisers Say

Thank you for all of your help with our Grand Opening advertisements. I’m glad we took your suggestion to run our advertising in The News-Enterprise, Inside the Turret and
The Meade County Messenger.

With the opening of our offices in Radcliff and Irvington, our market has expanded to include numerous surrounding towns in the Hardin and Meade County areas. We have found no other advertising choice that can reach all of these markets as consistently as the newspaper.

Thank you again, and I look forward
to seeing our ads this week.

I wanted to let you know what has happened since we ran the ad about our rentals. Running over the last month and keeping it consistent has worked for me. My message to my current and new customers stood out in the paper, and I have increased my rental business by 25% just in the last month. I am
amazed at what the ad did for my business.

I recently had my Grand Opening for the Hide Away Café; I was delighted when I heard from many of my customers that they saw the Grand Opening announcement in The News-Enterprise and Inside the Turret.

As you know, I also advertise on a regular basis in The News-Enterprise and Inside the Turret for my shop Antiques & Treasures. As a result, my customers are aware of my monthly specials - I know this because my customers tell me they've seen the ads or they come in looking specifically for that month's sale item.

I am pleased to say that advertising does work, and that the investment I make in The News-Enterprise and Inside the Turret comes back to me in my sales.

I plan to continue advertising both my of businesses, weekly in your papers as my businesses are still growing.
