Liberty Vindicator finds Nick "very helpful"Submitted by Carol Skewes, Managing Editor, Liberty Vindicator, Liberty, TX,
http://www.thelibertyvindicator.com Nick Wilwert was very helpful. He went above and beyond our request to offer helpful information we had not yet thought to ask about. We appreciate his professionalism.
Current Publisher satisfied with support from TownNews.com staff membersSubmitted by Lee Hews, Publisher, Current Publishing, Westbrook, ME
http://www.keepmecurrent.com From my perspective, TownNews.com has been totally fabulous to work with. Beginning with Loren Widrick in the initial discussions of our site and the whole process of setting up our agreement - through today, where we are just about 100% of the way there. TownNews.com worked very hard to get our site up early and continues to work hard to make modifications as we request them. Sharon Dembicki has been a complete joy to work with.
"BLOX CMS has been great," according to Current Publishing editorSubmitted by Brendan Moran, Editor, Current Publishing, Westbrook, ME
http://www.keepmecurrent.com The TownNews.com BLOX content management system has been great. It's given us far more control over the presentation of stories on our Web site than we had with our previous system. It's given all of our editors the ability to make changes to the site. TownNews.com has also been great with technical support. The company has been responsive when we have questions and always tries to satisfy our requests.

http://www.themcgeheetimes.comGary Sosniecki and Ginny Wilson were absolute godsends. What I most liked about Gary is that he's not your typical "sales guy." Everything he told us from day one was absolutely true. And his follow-up advice after we signed our contract was extremely helpful. The tips he provided on promoting the site before launch and his ad sales tips were invaluable.... August 10th, 2009 by Ellen Avignone, Web Contact, Keene Publishing Corporation, Keene, NH
http://www.keenesentinel.comThere has been a vast improvement in the level of customer service that we have been receiving since our site first launched in July of 2008. When I first was introduced to the ticket support system, I have to admit that I felt less than optimistic about it because my experience with other companies has been that online support is usually the cause of a lot of miscommunication and delays....

http://www.kentuckynewera.comJust a quick note to tell you how happy I am with Adam Ikert from Creative Services. One of our persnickety vendors wanted to make some changes to a Flash Ad. I tried to make the changes myself, but my skills were not enough to make it happen on time. Around 10:00pm last night I finally declared defeat and punted the project to Adam. I thought it would take him at least 2 days to get it back to me. But by 8:30 this morning, it was in my inbox. I could not be more pleased. Please give a shout out to Adam!...

http://www.thefranklinpress.comWe use TownNews.com for our annual boost to online sales. Newspaper sales reps typically have a plethora of products to sell - some they are more comfortable with than others. Online seems to be one that most sales reps are not comfortable selling and because of everything else they are selling - it gets pushed to the bottom and therefore does not get sold. In addition, newspapers struggle with turnover in sales staff and having the resources to train their staff effectively.... by Angie Callahan, Advertising Director, Freedom High Desert, Victorville, CA
http://www.highdesert.comIf your newspaper/media company is anything like mine, sales reps are being asked to sell an abundance of products to their advertisers. As much as we'd like to keep them focused on selling the Internet every day, they have a tendency to slip back into the familiar territory of selling print....
