TESTIMONIALS
"Thanks for the great [ad] placement - we had a great show. Actually our best attendance in over 5 years!" R. Alvarez, Vintage Fashion Expo
"And have to tell you that your listing of the Hollywood Master Chorale with regularity has been of tremendous help to us. So, thank you very much for all that you do for all the people like us." - Martha Butler (Vice President)
"I had such good response from your website for my Halloween hunt, that I have listed my holiday hunt on your sight again under the featured events. Thanks for everything..."
- K.Kendal, Out of the Box Events
"Eye Spy LA is the greatest events calendar for LA. Period. Not only do we always list our Spirited Woman events in it and have pulled great results - but it is my own weekly "whats-going-on" bible, and I personally don't make a plan before checking the listings." - Nancy Mills Founder, Spirited Woman
"Thanks so much for the campaign and the notice about the Monrovia Art Festival in last weeks LA Brief. Wow…what a weekend we had. A noticeable increase in traffic over last year. It was obvious that the patrons visiting were not all from the immediate Monrovia area, but from Greater LA and I really believe it was because of your plug as well as our advertising." Thank you! --Frank Zgonc
