Placing weekly ads in the Issaquah Reporter has really helped to let people in the community know about our new store. We’ve maintained a weekly ad with a consistent look that has caused many customers come into our store and tell us they saw our ad in the paper. Our representative has been very sensitive to the fact that our marketing budget is tight due to being a new business. She’s helped us to take advantage of special editions and marketing dates so that our ads can be as effective as possible. We hope to advertise in the Issaquah Reporter for many years to come!
