“I would like to thank you for allowing me to place my advert with you as I am currently receiving more calls from the Boxmoor Directory than I am from the big telephone directories … and business is on the up at last!
I would gladly endorse your directory at a moments notice and would also go so far as to say that your directory(s) should be an example to all areas that local advertising for local people works… simple as that!.
Especially if it is presented well, like your directories are.. and that works for both the advertisers and for the readers, as folks will always tend to keep a well presented directory or pamphlet than they would a less well presented one, if you get me!” Adey@GTS, Gibbs Technical Services
” I am a local lady who avidly reads the BD & have to say your publication is far more interesting & regular than the Herald!! I love it & would like to commend you on your publication. I have used since its lauch used many of the services advertised, Rejuvenate, Mansfield Bakers, Honey Pot Waxing, Emma James & last moth Oven Clean – I have to say all of these companies & services have been excellent. I love the publication & the fact that it supports local businesses is fantastic.
As it is such a local & useful advertising tool I would like to suggest that you perhaps think about launching a personal ads section, where customers are able to announce all the usual, births, marriages, deaths, celebrations etc – as mentioned I can not tell you when the last time I received the paper in this area & have given up calling into the Herald office to complain…I also think this would be a roaring success due to the fact that your publication is is local & therefore it would have greater sentiment to those of us lucky enough to receive the BD – I think its fab! ” Annie
” I just wanted to let you know that your recipes in the February Boxmoor Direct were much appreciated. Our two grandchildren, Tom, aged 12 and Alice, aged 10, stayed with us over half term and we all had great fun mixing, cooking and tossing the pancakes, none of which I’m happy to say went on the floor or the ceiling!
Today we all joined in making the Chow Mein and enjoyed that very much too.
Your monthly magazine is a great asset for Boxmoor and around, full of interest, friendly, and with local knowledge which brings us all together. Keep up your good work. With best wishes”
Sheila
” Just want to say a big thank you for your comment in your ‘March’ Issue about your computer crashing. The Boxmoor directory was the first thing I grabbed when mine did the same thing last week! I had remembered your comment on the opening page about your hero on a white horse, and luckily found the right issue in my magazine rack (so glad I didn’t throw it away when the new one arrived) He arrived on Saturday morning, and brought it back in full working order the next morning, after undergoing major surgery! Luckily I too have not lost any work, and am forever grateful. I will definitely recommend him to friends and family, and have already done so! Thanks again. ” Melinda
“As Boxmoor residents my wife and I wanted to drop you a note to congratulate you on the Boxmoor Directory. Each issue has improved on the previous one, and we now look forward to them. You have established a very happy style and great layout and production quality. As I compile and publish a nationally distributed newsletter myself, I am always critical – but you have done well.” Lance
