"As a small business owner I have to make good choices about what products I advertise in to maintain a budget and reach customers effectively. The News Tribune does that for me. Their marketing consultants help me decide which products to advertise in, what special sections and how often to place my advertising. If they feel that a particular section doesn't fit, they won't sell me an ad in it. Likewise, I have benefitted greatly by their choosing with me the ones that have given me maximum return. Thank you for being genuinely concerned for my best interests."Cindy Downing, Owner, Copper Kettle Restaurant |
