Another enquiry today (and it will come off!) - until I had a feature on The Best of North Cotswolds I hadn't appreciated how much people use the web for local searches - I have paid for my first year and more within the first 6 weeks!

Thank you so much for our wonderful certificate - it will be displayed with pride!
Your campaign has helped so much in enabling us to get all those wonderful testimonials. In the past we have found it hard to ask for feedback but because of having this particular reason and time-frame, it was ok to ask particularly because you wrote our e-mail for us!
From now on we will use your cards and continue the process. So again, thank you so much, you are a great support to us in getting known out there.
We have had our first contact through a Google search, I am afraid it didn't come through the Best of .... this time but regardless, we have a better presence because of you!

Anne - this is wonderful! Thank you very much indeed. We certainly wouldn't want to change any of it - well not until we have something new to add of course!

We are SO delighted that you not only write well but also do all the techy stuff for us, we know it has to be done but hate the thought of doing it ourselves. You are very unusual in offering this service. I have told two other small businesses about you today!

"I was very sceptical to start with, but The Best of North Cotswolds has been absolutely 'fantastique' for L'Academie - it works for us really well, particularly the client testimonials which boost the staff morale and let me know how my clients feel"

We are investing in a new fryer for our trailer as we need to have confidence that all our equipment is top notch to cope with our full diary until October. This is largely due to us being on the front page of google for mobile fish and chip vans in the area due to your marketing and the positive testimonials that people can now read about us. So thank you to you and your team !

Des and Anne have had a huge impact on our enquiries since we have been able to use the bestof website to show off our nurseries! Parents love to read positive reviews even before visiting Tiggers to see for themselves what we offer. The testimonials instill a confidence of our services well before they come and see us. We have had customers book from London and Birmingham based on these testimonials without viewing the nursery prior to their relocation. We now have a 12 month waiting list for babies at both sites and I'm sure that this is as a result of excellent promotion by the "bestof" Stroud! Tiggers Westonbirt and Stroud Nurseries

Winning the “best nursery in the UK” in 2010 was possibly the best PR exercise that we have ever taken part in. When customers are choosing a childcare setting that they entrust their most precious thing in their lives to they want the best possible choice. Customers search the internet these days for feedback and reviews when buying anything not alone an important decision such as childcare choices, so being able to have recommendations available to view on line is a must for most organisations. Winning or even being nominated to take part in the 14 days of Love Campaign is a huge boost to your marketing success. From relying on word of mouth to now having the voice of the internet our enquires and bookings have been increased dramatically and we now have a 12 month waiting list for our babies. It doesn’t get better than that. A big thank you to “the best of” for helping us grow our business and succeed in our reputation for being one of the best businesses in the UK!

The Team at The Best of the North Cotswolds look after us brilliantly - recommending other businesses that suit and putting on a great networking evening where we made lots of contacts and swapped business details. We even invited them all to the staff disco because you have been so friendly to all our staff- oh and the door drops are great - we had approx 30 adverts returned for a free registration fee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Anne, Door Drop started to go out 3 days ago & we have had a telephone call today, someone mentioned the door drop and has booked in two periodic tests. That is great news. Would it be possible to send a bunch of fliers to us (we don’t mind paying extra for them) as we think it would be an idea to send a bunch to all the estate agents in the area.

Thanks

Hi Anne,
I am emailing to say how wonderful the advert is on the new door drop!
It has worked well - we had 2 new bookings in the first week and will hopefully get some more soon as the flyer reaches more homes in the area!

Please do put us down for the forth coming wine tasting eve and networking. Also next years door drop please!

Hi Anne, I just wanted to tell you how pleased we are with the content on your site, and how impressed our manufacturer, Renault was, with the quality and overall effect of our listing. We have found internet marketing to be the most cost effective tool we have in these difficult times. I am convinced that the return on investment on internet and web sites such as the “bestof...” is far greater than conventional press media.
We have been delighted by the quality of your site, and as you are aware have subscribed to additional “the best of” sites and are pleased to be part of the best of community. For us, specifically, we find that our Marketing territory is difficult to cover using Press Media, as geographically the area is covered by many differing and overlapping Newspapers, and the investment required would not give us a return on our investment. Fortunately the “bestof ... ” sites we now subscribe to give us excellent coverage, at a very cost effective price.
They were also suitably impressed with the “door drop “campaign that you had carried out on our behalf, and the quality of the finished article.
Many thanks to the “Best of the North Cotswolds” for your part in a very successful campaign.

Hi Anne, the presentation to Renault went very well and and from the research we had done using BDM clearly showed that internet and web was our best return on investment. Having seen your site, they like me, were very impressed with the content you had added , and the quality of the graphic images, and I could see that they felt the financial investment was very worthwhile.
Cheers!

The Best of North Cotswolds has been a great way to advertise my new business, Baby Days. The rating on Google is excellent and now that I have my own website it is even better and they complement each other. Des and Anne are great to work with and are always happy to change anything on the web page and promote any special offers or sales. A superb marketing tool.

Just what we need in a rural area like The Cotswolds - I was going to spend a fortune on a website, but now I don't need to - just have a Best Of listing instead - these guys go all out to really help - Thanks!

I had to be sold the idea of buying space on bestof for my wifes pet portrait business. But in year 1 it has paid for itself 5 times over! Bestof people are lovely to work with and bestof will get your business to the top of the Google rankings. That would normally cost you tons!
To buyers and viewers just put bestofnorthcotswolds in your favs and enjoy the events and services it will bring you.
Finally back to sellers I have no doubt bestof is the yellow pages of the web and a whole lot more useful and interesting.
Try it. Set up is all done for you and then wait for customers to contact you.
