"I just wanted to wish you and everyone at Our Homes Magazine a great holiday season.
Once again I am pleased with my advertisement in your magazine. I always have a flourish of business after each publication I have advertised in. I see both new faces and customers I have dealt with for years. Sometimes it just reminds people of things that they have to frame. In fact, this week I am framing an article from your magazine which featured a customers home.
I always find the advertisements and articles informative and tasteful. It has continued to be a classy publication and one that everyone looks forward to picking up.
I also make it a point to try and visit the others who advertise in the magazine. I have been introduced to other small businesses which have been featured and have found many gift items at the interesting shops which you showcased over the past issues.
Congratulations on your 3rd Anniversary issue and continued success in the New Year."

“I am thrilled with my decision to advertise with Our Homes, I've had success with my throws, in fact I am currently sold out of the red/black plaid one and have a rather large order on route for customers awaiting the product. Thank you.”

"I would like to say thank you very much for the chance to be part of your Spring Edition 2010 of Our Homes. It has been an honour!
I have had great feedback regarding the article of our home. We are very proud of our home and you have expressed this in the article. Having our "dream home" is a blessing in itself, however having this home in a magazine is "icing on the cake". We are very proud of our children and all the work they put into this home, from drawing the blueprints, to helping build the home, to completing the finishing touches, but most of all making this house our home.
Dan and I have had nothing but great and positive comments. Friends and family that have seen the article will mention what a lovely home we have. People that know us and we have not seen in a while will approach us when we are out and about or they will call to mention that they saw our home in the magazine. Dan even had a stranger approach him, while shopping at Home Depot, to congratulate us on such a beautiful home. We are very pleased with the end result, we feel very blessed; having this home is still a dream.
Thank you for taking the time and giving our family the opportunity to be part of your magazine. It has been so much fun!"

" I just wanted to tell you what a great magazine you have created. My daughter in Sudbury enjoys reading them as well, being raised in the Sault it gives her a feel from home.
The layout and quality of the magazine is impressive. I love the idea that the advertising is mostly local. On top of all that it is free. Amazing!
Thank you for all your work, it is greatly appreciated. Have been telling others to pick one up, they will be impressed, just like I was."

"Just a quick note to say that I am thoroughly enjoying 'Our Homes' Magazine.
I like its color and gloss, and I am MOST happy that it supports business in both Sault Ste. Marie and the District.
It lets us know what is happening with both established and new on the scene artists and it offers plenty of ideas for personal decorating tips. The 'Source It' section is great help in finding what is needed to get the job done. I especially like the 'Trash to Treasure' article in the Fall issue.
Keep it up, It’s great fun!"
