Dear Nancy and Lisa:

On behalf of the Julian Chamber of Commerce I want to let you know just how effective your publications and websites are for our area. The Julian and Back Country Guide is an especially important tool for us to hand out to tourists, locals and those who have recently relocated. With it also being distributed outside of Julian it plays a major role in marketing our town as a year round destination. the Southwest Blend Magazine and the Julian Guide are used on a daily basis by those who come seeking information on our area. The Blend is a great magazine and we appreciate the fact that you consistently market Julian and it's events even though you cover so may other areas.

I also enjoy working with Nancy on our website. Recently we were one of the few Chambers of Commerce to receive a good website review by Andrew Kleske - the Online Editor for the North County Times Newspaper. Thanks Nancy for all your guidance and those 'emergency website updates! '.

Overall, Free Spirit Promotions is a benefit to our community.

Sincerely,
Krisie Morgan

Dear Nancy & Lisa:

Just a quick note to say thank you for the continued exposure you have given Encinitas on SouthwestBlend.com. We especially appreciate your support in promoting our events. We are glad that we have advertised on your website for the past 5 years. Congratulations on your expansion into the Southwest US.

Dear Lisa and Nancy,

Just wanted to let you know how happy I have been with the exposure that I have received through SouthwestBlend.com

I have had reports that when doing a search for my company, INTEGRITY, on Google we come up number one to number three. I am sure when this happens it is because of the exposure you have given us.

I have had downloads from our website throughout the United States, in China and Hawaii. I am sure it is because of The Blend Magazine. Our website is not positioned by keywords (we used to get 400 spam emails per weekend with an old website when positioned by keywords). The only way we get hits is when someone chooses to go to www.integritysd.com. It becomes a decision when someone uses your website www.theblendmagazine.com and sees our article in your Business section. We get business and credibility because of Southwest Blend Magazine.

Your product really works. Thanks for your continued support. Please let me know how I can further support you in San Diego, Riverside, and Orange Counties.

Warmest regards to both,
"Gerry"
