Below is the feedback we are getting from our merchant customers:

I think every community needs one of these directories.  I was especially interested in the scholarship fund, because it gives me an opportunity to give back to my community at the same time as I am promoting my business.

I don’t have a website for my business so my listing was a great way for me to have a presence on the Web.  Having the Merchant Scholarship Fund logo in my window is a big public relations plus for me too!

I was excited to know that our participation in this project meant that the community would benefit at the same time as we got exposure for our bank.  Also, with all the ways you promote the directory we are getting better exposure than if we tried to do it on our own.

Wow!  I can’t believe what I got for such a small investment.  I never would have been able to attract this kind of attention with the little ads I had been running.  Thank you!

I still can’t believe what a value this is.  I’m glad you figured out how to offer such an attractive marketing package at a price I can actually afford.  I think any one component of the system would have been worth what you are charging.  I’ll be a customer for life!
