“In regards to marketing, we have tried everything — print, TV, radio, billboards, Facebook, Instagram — nothing compares to the return with Community Impact. We see immediate results the first day it hits the street.”

“We saw a noticeable increase in outreach from both existing and potential retail partners across our distribution footprint, as well as a huge uptick in followers on our social media pages. The visibility helped reinforce our reputation in the industry.”

“To have your name be part of something physical has tangible impacts. We saw real ROI — it wasn't hard to break even and in some markets we tripled our listings.”

“This is by far one of the best collections of reports we have received from any purchased media partner. I really like the average cost per reader calculation. The impressions and hovers are great — and I so appreciate the transparency on the open rate.”
