Dustin Sellers – Pro-Service Hawaii

As the president of business development and marketing for ProService Hawaii, I would like to say mahalo for the opportunity to advertise in your local publication, Pacific Edge Magazine. Immediately following our first ad in your Oct/Nov/Dec 2006 issue, we received positive comments about visibility, as well as inquiries about our company. As a result of our advertising partnership, ProService’s market-reach in Hawaii has broadened and we have gained new business.

I want to give you a little feedback on my ad. I recently received an email from the mainland buyer of Food Pantry via my website. My sales rep met with them and successfully landed the account. The buyer told my sales rep that she found out about VV because her boss saw the advertisement in Pacific Edge Magazine, showed it to her, and told her to contact me. They have approximately 30 stores on the mainland alone in some of the best resorts in the USA (Four Seasons, Waldorf Astoria, Walt Disney World Resorts in Orlando, Las Vegas Hotels, etc.) They are working up their order now. They spoke highly of the advertisement! I will more than make up for that expense! Anyway, I wanted you to know that having the ad in your magazine was a wise decision for me. I have had many comments on the ad and about how good it looks. Thanks for doing a great job on the ad and thanks a million for all your good advice.

Rick & Sahsa Reichart – cakelava

We were introduced to Naomi and Jamie initially as potential clients, when Rick was approached to design their wedding cake on Kauai. Though it didn’t work out to make their cake, we were pleased to learn about Pacific Edge Magazine in the process and became instant fans of the magazine. After being a featured “Young Professional”, and doing some advertising with the magazine, we realized how much of a brand Pacific Edge was within the community. Clients calling us said they had seen us in “The Edge” magazine, which told us instantly that it was a well-respected, branded magazine that was widely read. Based on the phone calls and cake orders we received as a result of our feature and ad in Pacific Edge Magazine, their demographic has sophisticated tastes and a higher income, which is similar to our clientele. On a personal level, Naomi and Jamie are social butterflies and network with finesse. We are thankful for having met them and proud to be featured in Pacific Edge Magazine!

When I first met Naomi and Jamie I was impressed with their tremendous drive and professionalism. A supporter of their publication from the start, they have also supported our need of quality advertising and have assisted in growing our company to become the largest of its industry in the state of Hawaii. The first thing you will notice about their magazine is its visual quality which ensures potential readers take the time to look at what’s inside. Next the editorial quality is readily apparent featuring experts from various industries and stories on up and coming entrepreneurs. Pacific Edge Magazine has an incredible subscriber base. On several occasions I have seen a copy of their magazine in waiting rooms or on the desks of other executives I visit. From this visibility our sales team has received countless leads from readers of Pacific Edge ; these leads have come with a high ratio of conversion into sales because the magazine interests the decision makers who we want to reach. We have advertised with numerous publications, but Pacific Edge has given us the visibility we look for. We have interacted with Pacific Edge spanning 4 editions and a year’s time and find them to be professional and innovative. Their staff is extremely helpful and courteous and a pleasure to work with. I give my highest recommendation to the Pacific Edge Magazine and encourage you to see how they can help your business as they helped mine.

Advertising in Pacific Edge Magazine has allowed Cartridge World to reach an audience that is active and involved in both business and community. Letting them know that we can help the bottom line in addition to providing an environmentally sound option is key to our success. Pacific Edge Magazine is our choice of media when trying to reach young business professionals and those that surround them.

After you delivered the magazines to me, they went like hotcakes! People were asking me where they could get a copy of it! It was such great publicity for me; everyone was impressed to see me in your magazine, and I have you and Jamie to thank for that. It is such an honor, and the publicity you’ve provided is invaluable. I appreciate it tremendously!

Jennifer Stites – Dowling Company

The coverage of my position with Dowling Company and our company’s strong commitment to environmentally sound development in Pacific Edge Magazine resulted in several interesting leads from vendors of green products as well as comments from colleagues and professionals who read the story. Thank you for your coverage of a company that is truly trying to make a difference in its approach to development.

Matt Muccio – Techniques Hawaii

After the article in Pacific Edge Magazine last January 06, I got calls from 30 or more calls from people who saw it. Wow! What a response! I would definitely recommend this magazine to anyone who wants to get their message out to businesses in Hawaii.

Tom Maule + Anna Halldin-Maule

The Pacific Edge Magazine is a wonderful magazine created by wonderful people. The Hawaiian Islands have long needed a magazine of this scope and demographic–it’s finally here! Naomi and Jamie Giambrone have been a joy to work with and we have always found them to be true to their word. The exposure from being on the cover of the second issue has brought to us a wealth of new clients and possibilities. We wish The Pacific Edge and its staff many years of success and happiness.
