"I will definitely be in your magazine--have had good response from it--one dad came in after seeing it in the pediatricians office - thanks for that!! Lots of people have called after seeing our ad.  Again, thank you for a great publication--look forward to doing business with you for a long time." Julia Parks, The Little Gym, Daphne

"....It's officially 3 new clients in the first week!  I couldn't be more pleased with my advertising decision."  Felicia Sarubin, BeautiControl, Mobile

"Hey Tammy,  We have been getting responses.  I would say we have gotten around 20 this month.  Which is awesome.  So our third month should be explosive."  Allison, The Mom Team
