To whom it may concern;

Over the years, I have used many different advertising mediums from radio to newsprint.  As a business in Airdrie, you have a few choices where to spend your important advertising dollars.  We all know how important it is to use your advertising budget in the most effective way possible.  I have run Shopper’s Drug Mart on Main Street in Airdrie for over 5 years now and have advertised in all the newspapers in Airdrie. Then I advertised in Here’s the Scoop.  It is with great confidence that I recommend Here’s the Scoop.  Whenever we have used them, our sales have shown at least a 20% better return than when we have advertised with other newspapers in Airdrie.  I have used Here’s the Scoop as part of my fundraising efforts as well and have found even a small ad run in their classified section works extremely well.   Working with Lois and her crew at Scoop Central has always been a complete pleasure and I find that they ALWAYS go the extra mile to make sure your advertising dollar gets you the best return possible.  Shopper's Drug Mart uses Here’s the Scoop and Advance Distribution to ensure all of Airdrie knows that we are here and open for business and we plan to continue our partnership with them for years to come.

Thank you so much, Lois and Al, for all your hard work over the past 5 years!

Shopper's Drug Mart

804 Main Street, Airdrie, AB

One year ago, I started a new business here in Airdrie.

I had no idea on what or how to advertise.  I had heard through the grapevine that the nice people at Here’s the Scoop know everyone and this is a great way to become known.  I ended up advertising with Here’s the Scoop and when customers came into my store, I asked how they had heard about us.  In the first 9 months, 85% of the customers said, “I saw your advertisement in Here’s the Scoop."

Now, not only did Here’s the Scoop print and distribute my ad, but they also worked with me to create the ad I wanted each and every time.

Here’s the Scoop has also helped me with the redesign of business cards and fridge magnets.

The service orientation that Lois has directed in her employees is second to none, and without the help that Here’s the Scoop has given me, I would probably be out of business at this time.

Thanks to Lois and her staff,
