FOR REVIEWING THE MINNESOTA FAMILY MEDIA KIT!
“We are happy to be part of Minnesota Family Magazine. We have received multiple calls from our ad and one of the calls from our ad allowed us to help a family remodel their kitchen and their baths. We are pleased with our response, and we feel good about being part of something that is encouraging and filled with hope for families.”
– Mark Anderson, Surface Specialists
“One of my old patients hadn’t been able to locate me since I left my previous place of practice, but they saw my ad in the recent edition of Minnesota Family Magazine and were able to find me again! They said that they wanted me to thank you on their behalf, and I would personally love to thank you as well! I’ve had a few additional patients come in to see me after seeing the ad as well, and I cannot express enough gratitude for your help in bringing them into my life and practice!”
– Amanda Bzdok, Hands on Healing Massage Therapy
“We have advertised multiple times with Minnesota Family Magazine and each time received numerous calls from potential clients. We have found this advertisement to be the most cost efficient and effective way to reach individuals and families most likely to use our services. The response has been great, and we are very happy with the results we received.”
