Toomey & Friends Advertising (Ad Agency)

"Since Cleveland State University is Cleveland's "downtown" university, an important part of our target is the working adult who would like to finish their degree or get an advanced degree to further their career. This group doesn't watch much television, but they do use the Internet and specifically, they use cleveland.com.

Since we started our program on cleveland.com back in September of 2000, we've averaged about 400,000 weekly impressions and every week an average of 400 people have clicked thru to the csuohio.edu web site from one of our strategically-placed cleveland.com ads.

cleveland.com is an important part of our program. It gives us the ability to change our ads weekly so information about events, news or new programs is always current. We try to keep our ads as fresh as the content on cleveland.com. We feel that fresh content is what makes cleveland.com and our advertising program work so hard for us."

AFLAC Insurance

"Since the day we started (working with MassLive.com) over a year ago, we have seen a major increase in the number and quality of the resumes that have come into our office. The phone has not stopped ringing with quality candidates from all over Western Massachusetts. Almost every day I can check my fax and find resumes ready for me to call. MassLive.com has created cost effective ways for us to continue to grow our Sales staff at record rates. One other surprise was that I was receiving calls from all over the country from candidates looking to relocate in the Western Massachusetts area.

If you want to grow your business or sales force, you are missing the boat if you do not use the tools that MassLive.com provides."

Our partnership with OregonLive.com was a tremendous asset to the success of the 2005 State Farm U.S. Figure Skating Championships. The advertising, promotions and contests we ran on OregonLive.com added greatly to the exposure we received. They are easy to work with and very adaptive to meet our specific needs to reach a precise demographic and then convert into a more broad range campaign. I will certainly look to work with OregonLive.com in the future."

Given their affiliation with The Oregonian newspaper, OregonLive.com is a natural online resource for local home buyers searching for property. Research shows that most prospective home buyers begin their search online, so it makes good sense for us to have a presence on the best local resource site. OregonLive.com is the clear choice for our online investment. And, for me personally, their sales and marketing team makes my job easier... great creative talent and consistent follow through.

"I would like to take this opportunity to tell you that I truly enjoy our partnership. A year ago we met with all of the media players in the local market area to determine who would be a good partner for us and who would meet the needs of our organization. You and PennLive.com were exactly what we were looking for.

Your approach is one that is consultative and is commendable. Since that point in time you have been very receptive to our needs and making us aware of opportunities that may be a good fit for our organization. The car show was a great success as well as sponsoring several contests. Through this partnership we have also increased the number of hits to our web site.

Prior to our partnership we never explored these opportunities. But thanks to you, we have gone down that road and it has been met with nothing but positive comments.

Again thank you for everything that you have done for us and I look forward to a great future."

SUNY Upstate Medical University

SUNY Upstate Medical University became involved as a syracuse.com advertiser because the website is easily the most popular "go to" site in Syracuse for information about our town and its environs. The number of daily, weekly and unique visitor hits is staggering. While we have our own robust website, we know it's not as memorable as "syracuse.com." Most people know that if they need information about anything in their town that the most comprehensive and useful site will be the one operated by the town, the chamber of commerce, or the daily paper. We also know it's unlikely we will get any accidental or serendipitous traffic, i.e., those who visit the site for something else and, during their travels through the site, are piqued by one of our messages. Advertising both our university and our tertiary care hospital takes advantage of the visitor's latent, sometimes "subterranean," and often significant interest in health care issues. It can prompt an inclination to learn more about a specific health topic and facilitate the learning at the same time. It is the best and most logical site for people checking out our town in advance of or considering a move, or just wanting to stay in touch (or even considering to return). The reports we receive monthly are copious since we have employed a number of different advertising approaches. Judging from them, I should be, and am, very happy with the exposure the hospital and university are getting through this untraditional yet increasingly important marketing opportunity. I will offer, too, that I have been, and continue to be, skeptical about advertising on websites sponsored by radio, television or other purported "mass interest" sites. For the most part I don't believe they are effective because their focus is too narrow, too commercial, too controversial, unmemorable, uncompelling and often too lightweight. This does not characterize syracuse.com nor, would I assume, any other city site in its category.

Barden Homes

"Barden Homes has been partnering with syracuse.com for just under a year now and have found them to be very beneficial to us, both in measurable website traffic and branding efforts. They are a natural online resource for local home buyers searching for property and homes in the Central New York region. Their sales and marketing team makes my job easier as they provide me with great creative talent, excellent customer service, and consistent follow through.

After working with them this past year, we continue to be pleased at their attention to detail and customer service, and we look forward to renewing next year. We feel that syracuse.com is one of the backbones of our Internet strategy, and has consistently produced excellent, cost effective results.

In conclusion, we are very pleased with syracuse.com and we plan to carry on our relationship far into the future."
