"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."

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.

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."

"I
found ContraCostaServices.com TV advertising to be a very cost
effective marketing tool. It made the jump to TV advertising very
easy for our business. Their service and price can't be beat!"

"We have used Marketing Solutions Group for nearly a year. Their staff has
been reliable, courteous and professional, and we've had a positive response
from our customers with regard to our first 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."

"I can't tell you how pleased we are with the way our commercial
turned out. We have had many compliments. You (Alice) and Gary did
a great job for us!
Thanks again."

"Using the Marketing Solutions Group to make a commercial and air it in the
TriValley zone with Comcast was a very successful marketing
tool. Everywhere I go in Livermore, people tell me they
have seen my commercial! I will definitely advertise

"Since airing our commercial, we have had a number of new customers
come into the store stating that they had seen the commercial, but had never
known we existed, before."

Mike and Sharol Cheney -- Owners of Valley Plumbing
"The commercial process ran
very smoothly from the scripting to the airing. The response has
been very good. Many people comment that they have seen
the commercial, so we know people are watching. Marketing
Solutions Group is great to work with and the whole process is made
very easy for the client."

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."

Dave Seim, Owner of Dublin Pool & Spa
"I really like the
aspect of Marketing Solutions Group featuring the TriValley community
on the web and on TV. I liked how MSG used recognizable local
businesses. It was a very well scripted and produced
commercial. Plus I saw
it very frequently and thought it was great exposure for Dublin Pool & Spa."

Dante of M Service in Walnut Creek says:
"I want to thank all of you at Marketing Solutions. Marketing Solutions made
the process of making a commercial fast and smooth. There was excellent

service and follow through. M Service is very pleased with our
commercial. It's been the best marketing tool for us to date."
