Testimonials & Satisfied Customers:
I am always amazed by the response that we get when we use a listing on EssentialMom.com. Last month we had a Grand Opening of our “Quest” on the Westchester Wilderness Walk preserve in Pound Ridge. You listed it in your weekly EssentialMom.com newsletter that Thursday and on Sunday we had an overwhelming turnout – at least 70 people. When I questioned them about where they had heard about the Grand Opening, about 90% responded that they had read about it on EssentialMom.com. Despite the fact that we sent out a couple hundred postcards and put it in the local paper, the greatest response was from your newsletter. So thank you so much for getting the word out to the right people for us. We were delighted with the outcome! Best regards, Bobbe Stultz, Director of Events, Westchester Land Trust
Can I just share how much we rely upon you and EssentialMom to know “the goods” locally for kids activities. After catching the Sunday posting for the Family Country Fair at the John Jay Homestead (where we had never been), we hopped in the car, drove up and all had a fantastic time there on a gorgeous afternoon. And we discovered a great new place! Thank goodness for you Gretchen! -- KB
Have I told you recently how valuable I find your web site...both as a mom...and as a marketer! You have a unique way of bringing people together. -- Susie Danziger, Rippowam Cisqua School Director of Communications
Have to tell you I LOVE the summer camp section - was just what I needed to find and with some great stuff I knew nothing about - thank you! -- KS
Doing very well thanks to you! I`m also on a couple of blogs but your newsletter and gift list has been the best exposure yet! -- Under Construction DVD
Thank you for running the "10 tips" email. It has been a crazy month! I have been getting a lot of online orders, and I`m sure running that and the ad really helped. -- Happy Heads
