Re: Durango Marketing Reference

"I first became aware of Durango Marketing when I commissioned them to do a survey of our customers. The results strongly showed that our customers wanted to be kept informed of our services and events on a regular basis. This led to a quarterly newsletter that Durango Marketing handles for us.

"Every issue Durango comes up with new ideas and interesting information. One of the real benefits of this program is that they handle all aspects, from design and layout, to printing and distribution. They also manage our database. As a business owner, I just do not have time to deal with all of these issues, and Durango makes it very easy for us to produce a professional newsletter that our customers love. And the results are excellent. We have even moved up from a quarterly to 5-6 issues per year.

"Another marketing area that Durango handles for us is our flyer distribution. We used to insert our flyers in the Penticton Herald and Penticton Western News. Now Durango uses Canada Post to have them delivered directly into people’s mailboxes. We noticed a difference immediately. Far more people were coming in with the flyers.

"One thing I really like is that Michael always works within our budget. He doesn’t try to increase our budget arbitrarily but works to weed out the underperforming advertising and replace it with higher return programs. Over the years we have used the local newspapers and radio stations, but we just weren’t getting the results that direct mail does. With all of the programs from Durango we are getting far better results and a much higher return-on-investment.

"Overall we continue to have great success with Durango’s marketing programs. For any business that is looking to get a bigger bang for their buck, I highly recommend Michael and Durango Marketing.

"Dealing with Durango Marketing has been a pleasure. Normally I have to proof each item many times before I am happy with the finished version. But not with Durango. I am amazed that they are able to take my ideas and turn them into professional results, and quite often with just 1 proof. This saves me time and effort and I now rely on them to write, design and layout each newsletter. They sure make it easy. 

"After our first mailing we started getting results within 2 days. Clients called in and dropped by our office and they all loved the newsletter.  

"We have used newspaper ads in the past, but the results just didn’t warrant the costs. Our return was dropping off and we decided to switch some of our marketing budget into direct mail. We have contracted with Durango for 8 newsletters a year, so that we can keep our clients focused on our business and returning to us on a regular basis. The positive feedback from our clients confirms that this is a successful marketing program and the results are superior to the newspapers. 

"Durango Marketing is helping us to continue to grow our business. As our marketing budget grows I look forward to implementing additional marketing programs with them."

Sincerely,

Personal & Individual

“It’s lovely. I've been going through it and I've already had one guest at the house enthralled by it. The quality of the reproductions is superb. Bravo! What I like best about it is the relentlessly upbeat, positive note, despite the fact that it's a book very much about war. Thank you Durango for your contribution in making the book happen."

"Our family history book is such a unique gift idea. You really can't give or get anything that is more personal."

B. Block

"The main reason I wanted our family history book written was because of Stan. I just felt like he deserved it. It was also done for our family, our children. Stan says that after coming to this country as a child from Hungary - and starting from scratch - he felt it was important to have our life history recorded."

Books & Special Reports

"Don't try to vacation or live in Mexico without Durango's "Mexico - Land of Sun, Friendliness, and Low Prices" Special Report. not only was it right on line, but by following the advice closely, I was able to live well on only $675 per month!"

"I started out with "How to Make Big $ Betting Races" and within six months I was back to buy "Vegas Pro's Best Racing Angles". Both made me money. Now friends ask me what I am betting on. Thanks Durango."
