American Spirit Cruises
Being an advertiser for many years in the EVENTS Planning Resource we were able to determine that the meeting planners who used it would retain their copies from year to year and continue to use even the older editions. In some cases we found that the meeting planners calling us via our ad in the EVENTS guide were using an edition that was as much as 2 years old. Not only has the EVENTS guide been a great marketing tool for us but the advertising rate we paid years ago is still bringing us business.

Avid Events Inc.
"It's not often we come across a publisher that delivers a great product and wraps great customer service around it. - We took out a full color half page ad and it has already paid for itself and the year is only half over. I feel that the target market for the publication is catered to our needs - I always feel as if we are being treated fairly and honestly and that you are consistently willing to "go the extra mile". Thanks."

Museum Of Flight
"Like so many other facilities we have to choose from a long list of potential advertising vehicles to attract clients.

Thank you for the new clients."
