Not only are testimonials important as a part of your marketing mix they are in ours as well. See what other people have to say about the marketing provided by PromoSta.
It’s been a hard year getting started, with many moving parts to a start up lawn business. We had to re-distribute 100 flyers for a phone number error. In another neighborhood, I hoped the guy following me needed our service. Imagine my disappointment when he pointed out an e-mail address typo. He was honest and said he hesitated to let me know… apparently, he knew from experience what he was getting into. Russ Adams handed me his card, first thing I saw was the word “marketing”.
Ok, marketers work in big buildings… Wear fancy clothes and take care of companies like “Nike” and “Proctor and Gamble” …lawn service? Yeah right. We barely had a shared vehicle with most of our capital in lawn equipment. Feeling a little small, I carried on with my flawed flyers, and grumbled that I will change the next batch.
Over the next few days, printing, buying ink, fixing paper jams, passing out flyers, while keeping up with our primary business cutting yards and scheduling. My husband needed business cards, wants a specific logo in a certain color green, and of course, a fancy web site with pictures and clients being able to contact us…geez. Get the picture? I found the business card and screamed “Russ, Please HELP!!!!!”
Hear the trumpets?
Now don’t get me wrong, Vilano Landscape does great work. But, working and being able to get these marketing and promotion tasks done is more than a small start up can do on their own. Russ, with PromoSta, got it done, and fast.
With Russ’ help we have:
- Business cards (With an awesome logo)
- Logos on all our invoices
- Logos on everything (thanks to Russ’ insistence)
- Sent out a 5,000 direct mail postcards
- Have a beautiful shrink wrap on our vehicles promoting our business on the job site
- The fancy website with gallery and contact information that goes straight to our e-mail address
Just like we wanted – NO FLAWS!!
Our business has quadrupled, in one year. We are paying our bills and even having some left to enjoy life. Now all we need is some free time… maybe even looking to those retirement years. We think it’s possible, and I hope that Russ will keep pointing the way to that end for us… He sure is a great help. It sure would’ve been a lot longer and harder without him.
RUSS, THANK YOU!

I first came in contact with Russ as a referral through a friend who had successfully worked with Russ on a direct email campaign for his company. I asked Russ for his creative expertise to redesign my Yellow Pages advertisement that was coming up for renewal. The old one was designed by AT&T’s in house staff and it simply lacked any pizazz and attention drawing qualities. Russ produced three ads that I felt were of such outstanding quality, I had to literally ask my friends to vote on the best one. Since it’s publishing, my revenue has nearly doubled and I will be needing to hire an assistant to handle the additional business.
I have also trusted Russ to create and host my website, in-house email, customer publication, manage my Google words campaign, publish and distribute opt-in newsletters to clients and a handful of other initiatives. The website is highly impressive and receives compliments for its design while the additional projects still are too new to measure for success. However, I am anticipating considerable success from their efforts and look forward to a long partnership with Mr. Adams and his company.

“Russ- just a short note to let you know how pleased I am with the website you built for me. For many years my very specialized hobby of repairing Ronson Touch Tip cigarette lighters for both myself and other collectors puttered along at a couple of pieces a month, but since the implementation of the website I am seeing inquiries from all over the world- the majority of which quickly turn into actual orders. Before, I was restricted to collectors I already knew who told their friends of the service I provided- now I have customer inquiries and orders that really exceed my expectations- all thanks to the professionalism of how you took my rambling accounts of what I do and turned them into a professional, attractive, coherent and very productive website. Thanks again for the great design work, implementation and performance metrics you continue to provide!”

Russ designed my logo and website so if you’re looking for someone talented, perceptive, with a keen eye for design…this is your guy! He’ll actually go out of his way to make sure you have what you need. He’s done so much for me already.”

Public relations for Huntington's Disease Benefit
“I just wanted to thank you VERY much for the work that you put into handling the press releases and phone calls for the Cruise. We set an all time record this year of over $21,000 for Huntington’s disease research. We were named in the Oakland Press “Marquis” section as one of the top ten events to go to on Cruise day. This came out the Friday before the Cruise. During the Cruise we had the reporter from the Oakland Press show up, a Photographer from the Free Press, Camera people from Travel Michigan, the City of Birmingham and some car web site also showed up. So we had very good exposure and I appreciate the help.”
