The Arts

Mark Sensenbach

You wouldn’t expect someone who is 6’7” to move so gracefully in a tiny artist studio, but to “Big Mark,” as he is known, it is second nature. He has been “throwing clay” since he was a teenager and, after recently selling his t-shirt screen printing company, he has made it his sole focus. When Mark Sensenbach is not at Cuesta College, where he is employed as the Ceramic Arts Technician, he can be found “tapping, bumping, and poking” original handmade works on his pottery wheel. “I’m trying to give the form a little movement, some character. You can buy a perfect porcelain cup at Costco, but there is only one like this,” he says while hoisting a nearby handmade coffee mug. SLO LIFE

“We tripled our business last year and the only place we advertised was SLO LIFE Magazine. Since we are a small company and get to know all of our customers personally we always get around to asking them how they heard about us and, more often than not, they say that they saw us in SLO LIFE.” - Dan Melton & Rachael Hill, SLO Veg

“A few days after my first ad ran I received a call from a soon-to-be first-time mom who wanted to know more about natural birthing. She told me that she had learned about me from my ad in SLO LIFE. Not only did she become a new patient, but I received several more from the same issue.” - Edana Hall, Holistic Midwifery Care

“We’ve been advertising with SLO LIFE Magazine since they started out a year ago. And, in that time, we have leased out 3 large suites to great tenants and have greatly increased the leases of smaller offices. Many of those inquiries came from your readers.” - Warren Dolezal, San Luis Business Park

“When patients come to see us they often mention our baby ad in SLO Life Magazine. It means a lot to us to have this exposure. Even baby seems happier with this new found attention.” - Karen Scott, Karen Scott Audiology “Not only does SLO LIFE play an important role for us in terms of marketing and reaching our desired audience, but I have to say that they also serve an important function in our community. I read it and love it and everyone else I know reads it and loves it too.” - Todd Davidson, Sage Ecological Nursery

“SLO LIFE Magazine has literally transformed our business. We have never seen someone care so much about us and our success as they do. Because of their help our sales have increased substantially. We used to advertise everywhere, now the only place we advertise in SLO LIFE. We cannot possibly recommend them more highly.” - Jim & Megan Mackintosh, SLO Moped

“Everyone I know reads SLO LIFE Magazine. People mention to us all the time that they see our ad. It is the ideal vehicle to reach our audience locally. No other advertising platform works as well for us.” - Darik Stollmeyer, Rev
