Testimonials


Dear Richard,

River Canal Rescue is a marine breakdown and recovery service serving the Inland Waterways.  After measuring the feedback we get from our advertising, we have found we get the best response from your readers.  Your publication goes directly to our target audience which is fantastic.  Your distribution is great too as we have had responses from the length and breadth of the country.  I also think the fact that you are offering a free, informative publication to boaters is very much appreciated and supported by the community.

We look forward to doing business with Towpath Talk in the future!

Best regards,
Lauren

Advertising in Towpath Talk, along with the little mention you gave me in the editorial section has had immediate results.  I'm really pleased.  As far as I am concerned it is money well spent and as you know I have already booked my next ad.

Your publication targets my audience brilliantly.  As a boater myself I know boaters read it, as I do.  It is easy to pick up at many venues along the canal, and a well known reference for the boating community.  Of all the advertising I have done so far Towpath Talk has produced the best results.

Many thanks,

Thank you, Richard, for your ongoing support and professional approach.

Whilst you clearly wanted to do business with us from the start you have not been pushy or overly persistent. Since making contact with us you have been very helpful about advertising in general and about how best to advertise with Towpath. The adverts you have compiled for us have had the best response so far, and will hopefully continue to do so.

Many thanks.

Regards,

"During August, September and October 2009 we advertised in three monthly publications. We monitor our business leads - especially with Boat Moorings & Marina Berths being in abundance at present - as we like to know which publication is giving us the best results.

Towpath Talk provided us with telephone and face to face business leads during this important 'end of season' period and it is without doubt I can say that Towpath Talk provided us with more new business than any other waterways publication.

At a time when every bit of money spent has to be accountable, Towpath Talk delivers.

As far as customers are concerned, 250 copies of Towpath are taken from our office every month, without fail...people who use the waterways read Towpath."
