Selected Testimonials


"We thought a TV commercial was out of reach, but Marketing Solutions made it possible.  The commercials run during the day, on very popular cable channels and reach a diverse group of potential customers.  We use numerous different avenues for advertising, but a majority of our customer feedback comes from the commercials."

Melanie Sedak
Owner of Murphy's Paw in Pleasanton, CA


We sell Disaster Preparedness Kits nationwide through our web site.  Since
we're in "earthquake country", we thought we'd try local advertising.  We
were impressed with the quality of our commercial and how well it got the
point across in a short time.  I asked a recent customer in our advertising
area how they heard about us.  They indicated that they wanted to buy an
emergency kit but could only find them locally after an earthquake, but then
they saw our commercial and knew where to go.

It took us years to venture into the television advertising market.  Bottom line is we should have done it sooner!  We get compliments everyday on how well written, filmed, and produced our commercial is.  Marketing Solutions Group made the whole process painless, even when we wanted to coordinate 30 people in our 30 seconds of local fame!  We will continue to work with and recommend Marketing Solutions Group in the future.

"We Really do Meet the Nicest People by Accident!"


I just wanted to contact you to let you know how excited we are about the amount of business that has been generated through our commercial.  As you know, in the home improvement business, October through December are never very good months no matter how much you advertise.  During these months we always look forward to and wish for a great New Year to get things rolling again.

This January has been one of our most successful months ever!  I always ask clients how they found us to see if our commercial is generating new business.  I have had close to 20 new potential clients generated from our commercial in the past 30 days.  Out of those leads 2 have made large purchases.  Also,several are in the design process and will likely start remodeling projects in the near future.  Thank you so much for all of your hard work in helping to make us a success.  We are very proud of our commercial.

Thank you very much!

"Airing a commercial with the Marketing Solutions Group in the TriValley
zone has brought a number of new customers to Stacey's at Waterford in
Dublin.  My Events Manager told me that many of these customers  indicated that they didn't know our restaurant existed until they saw the  commercial."

"While it was a big step for me to advertise on television, the response is paying for itself already.  Our web traffic has doubled and spikes right after each broadcast of our commercial.  It is exciting to see the number of people on our website jump after each airing.  Not only do we get more ads, I get recognized on the street as 'The Wine Guy'.  Many of the people I want to interview are more responsive, as they have seen me on television and they know I'm serious about my business.  People who advertise with me report people mentioning the commercial.  Alice and Gary at The Marketing Solutions Group helped me reach clients in San Francisco who didn't surf the internet.  I am grateful for the speedy production and expert editing, which got my message across in thirty seconds."

Joseph Bradley, Realtor, in Pleasanton says:
    "Thank you so much for your help and with the TV commercial.  I used to
send out post cards and letters, now no more.  In some areas I have sent them
out for years, up to three, with no response.  Within the first two weeks I
received my  first phone call from my commercial.  WOW, what can I say other
than thank you for your help and advice.  I no longer send out those pesky post 
cards and newsletters.  You have showed me a more cost effective way of doing  business."
