Cosense, Inc. was looking for a way to increase and optimize their visibility on the Internet.
In some cases their own website was not coming up very well in natural search results when performing
key word searches of their products. Advertising with MacRAE'S BLUE BOOK (MBB) appeared to be a potential
opportunity to help new customers find Cosense simply by having extra search results for our products.
"After speaking with a MBB sales representative, we decided to list our company information under multiple product
headings and monitor our success with this program over time. The cost seemed reasonable enough to try it for a year.
Also, I was impressed that, many times, when I performed internet searches for various companies, their listing
on MBB came up very high in the natural search results, even higher than their own website,
indicating superb indexing through MBB.”
"In our first full year advertising on MBB, the number of new customers who found us more than doubled.
These results were better than we could have imagined.”
"The combination of low cost, increased internet visibility and new business we have gained since listing
with MBB has made this our single most successful advertising campaign. We are now looking forward to our
second year with MBB.”

"If you are a small or new business, and not sure if you can afford a MacRAE’s internet ad, I can tell you, say yes! Our ad was
online with MacRAEe’s Blue Book for less than a week, and we received an order that MORE than paid for the ad, with change to spare!..."

Our rep called me a few months after opening our business, and asked if we were interested. I couldn’t place the ad then, but being
so ever patient he called once every 6 months to check with us. He was understanding, and not the typical hard sell type. After almost
2 years, his diligence paid off, and we placed the ad. Our rep spent as much time as needed for us to understand and optimize our
price and ad coverage options. He went above and beyond expectation in every aspect of customer service. The ad copy and artwork
really makes our listing Pop! MacRAE’s Sales representatives show that they genuinely care about their customers, a rarity in today’s
society. I am already spreading the good word to other business owner friends about the quality and effectiveness of advertising our
business with MacRAE’s Blue Book"

Dear MacRAE's team, I just wanted to take a quick moment to express my gratitude for all of your hard work.
As mentioned when we first spoke, Packaging Equipment Sales is a new company without a large marketing
budget and we to make any investments in advertising as effective as possible. While investigating ways
to increase sales, I came across your product. I wasn’t really sure if this would be the best way to
increase my company’s online exposure. Your patience and product knowledge was very reassuring, so I
decided to give MacRAE’s Blue Book a try.
I was very busy when we first talked and left most of the heavy lifting up to you. All of the product
headings and descriptions you provided were great. It was like working with my own
personal marketing department. With your help, my company went from being on the second page of
Google, to being ranked #5 overall for the keywords Packaging Equipment. This is a very competitive
niche with over 19,400,000 possible search results and the links from your high ranking website were
just what Packaging Equipment Sales needed to put us on the first page!
Perhaps the biggest benefit was kind of surprising to me, the “real” leads coming from MacRAE’s. Your
hard work put me in front of a significant number of customers that I would not have reached
otherwise. Going back to our original conversation, I mentioned that money was tight and I wasn’t really
sure I could afford the product, now after seeing the tangible results, I KNOW I CAN’T AFFORD NOT
TO ADVERTISE WITH MacRAE’s Blue Book.
Thanks again for all of your hard work and I will definitely look forward to recommending you when
anyone needs an advertising solution. You guys are a real pleasure to work with and I am a very satisfied
customer. Keep up the good work and feel free to have anyone contact me that needs to verify the
merits of your product.

Interstate Products, Inc. offers a complete line of Spill Containment and Industrial Maintenance supplies
along with a wide variety of products for chemical, fuel, liquid storage, secondary containment and clean up products.
“I have held senior positions as either a Director or Vice President of Sales and Marketing for the past 26 years.
Over the course of my career, I have always been a firm believer that advertising in comprehensive product
directories is an instrumental and cost effective way to attract new business. Directories have always been
the preferred way for engineers and purchasing professionals to locate and source the products they need.
Now, with the vast amount of information available through the internet, it is even more important for
businesses to find a trusted source that makes it easy to locate needed products.”
“I am a firm believer that MacRAE’S provides an excellent tool that delivers an effective means of bringing
together both buyers and sellers. As both a manufacturer and distributor, we offer a broad range of environmental
and safety products to a diverse customer base worldwide. Accordingly, our business depends on reaching industrial,
commercial, institutional, government and military customer markets. MacRAE’S does an outstanding job of penetrating
these critical markets by sending quality traffic to our website and to our phones.”
“The reports and tools that identify incoming prospects are excellent and I really appreciate the ability to modify or add
to our listings anytime as opposed to making changes on a quarterly basis.”
“Last but not least, I have found the customer service at all levels of the organization to be exceptional.
Our rep, John Dahlberg, has been instrumental with regard to getting us setup and helping us maximize our
efforts to attract new business. I would recommend MacRAE’S to any marketing professional as a necessary tool
that compliments a balanced advertising approach.”
