"Starting up a new business in Canandaigua, NY, has been an exciting experience. [After] using several media to attract new customers, the Genesee Valley Penny Saver has clearly stood out. We have run full page front and back pages, as well as 1/4 page ads, and have seen results where coupons have come from the Penny Saver more and more. Every time we advertise in the Penny Saver, we get a big return. We are pleased with the Penny Saver as a marketing channel and look forward to working with them in the coming years." |

I don't always get my paper with Friday's mail for my Saturday morning read, but I most definitely look for it each week with anticipation. Your articles are great: inspiring and amusing. The brighter/vent page is very interesting. I love the crosswords done with children in mind. . . . Mostly, I am writing this because I am one of those people who enjoy giving accolades to those that work hard and end up producing something that shows they have sincerely put in a great deal of effort and organization. Thank you for jobs well done all through this process. Everyone in your organization is obviously worth their salt." |

"This being our first year in a retail environment, we were trying different media. As judicious as we could be in tracking responses, it was at best a guess; until we ran our first ad in the Genesee Valley Penny Saver. The Monday after our first ad gave us three customers by 8:00 am - two with the ad in their hands. That's how we know GVPS works!! To this day, it is not uncommon for folks to come in with our ad in their pocket or hand. The choice is clear!! GVPS is our best advertising investment. Your helpful and courteous staff just makes it that much easier. Thanks." |

| "Dear Cindy, I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much RTowne Fitness appreciates your efforts in taking the time to and going the extra mile to help us with a great ad campaign for our opening. We feel, it would have been tough without your help to get to our 100 Member goal. Instead, we got there in a shorter time than we estimated. You could see we were very busy trying to get this club open and you made numerous trips to our location making sure we were on the same page. You dotted the “i’s” and crossed the “t’s” for us when we needed and everything came out great! We track all of our leads and I will say that our Pennysaver ad has generated between 8 and 15 calls or walk-in’s average per day since we started the ad four weeks ago. So as we see it, that is “Advertisement Dollars Well Spent” Thank you again." |

| "Just wanted to express my gratification for the success of our help wanted ad in the Genesee Valley Penny Saver. We received over 75 applicants from the two weeks the ad ran, with the large majority coming from our Penny Saver advertising. We researched several resources in our search for a new Office Manager, and started with the Penny Saver due to its reasonable cost. We did not need to do any additional advertising, and actually could have sufficed with a single week! We have filled the position with an applicant with excellent qualifications and also had several more qualified individuals who were more than capable of fulfilling the position. Thanks again." |

I have formed a group of volunteer retired teachers(and others) to tutor children with cancer and other chronic diseases in the Rochester area. The area we service reaches as far west as Buffalo, east to Syracuse, and south to the Pennsylvania border. It was very difficult reaching teachers until I put a volunteer ad in the GVPS. It has been wonderful and very uplifting with all the responses. Hopefully, we will continue to grow as more and more teachers in those areas see the ad, making us able to service more and more children with chronic diseases." |
