| "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 love the ads; I love the flyers that come for the Marketplace Deli and Save-a-Lot and sometimes from the hardware store, also. It’s all very helpful and also any other ads that are in there that I find applicable to myself. I appreciate all of your efforts. Thank-you!" |

| "I was reading your paper this fine Saturday morning (my favorite thing to do on a Saturday morning) and saw your CVC GOLD STANDARD AWARD. It is highly deserved. 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." |

"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." |

"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." |
