Nepean Mini Bus is more than satisfied with the Directory and would recommend it to other Business people.
The booklet has great appeal, is informative, handy and offers local businesses an opportunity to enter directly into homes within our area. Local businesses want to provide the community with our specialised services. We have a great sense of community spirit and this can be enhanced by local businesses supporting local costomers and all benefiting from this experience. Thank you for your help and we look forward to an even better experience next issue.

I have been advertising with the Business Directory since it first started and found it to be a successful investment to my business, so when they announced that there would be a DirectoryCentral I signed up straight away as I new it would only continue to benefit my business and it would not take long to for my ad to pay for it's self. Its a great way that we can all support each other.

DirectoryCentral is fantastic!
I just wanted to let you know that I found a copy of your Directory Central at Penrith Library on Saturday. We are looking for a removalists and found SignatureMoves in your Directory and made contact. I was also doing my security role within the council and gave the number of the Nepean Animal Hospital to a lady that rang the council as she had an injured dog that required treatment, and I remembered seeing the Vet in the Directory.
The Directory now sits in our security office as it is a great source of information when people ring the council after hours and get put through to the security department.
Gina Field, Managing Director, Nepean Regional Security Pty Ltd
Got back to the office after the BRG Meeting and had a good look at the Directory and I think it is fantastic. I know that a lot of blood, sweat and tears has gone into producing it. You should be very proud.

On behalf of Cindy and myself we would like to congratulate you on an amazing job. Directory Central looks HOT. You should be very proud. Thanks for including us and well done.
We knew that the Directory was out as we received two calls on the first day of delivery. Fantastic!

Jan Petersen, Glenmore Park Resident.
We have always used the local directory in past years and have found it extremely useful & helpful in all areas especially for supporting our local businesses. We look forward to getting our new edition for 2009/10.

"WOW, what a fantastic idea the Kellyville Directory will be! Isn't it great that we can promote local businesses in the surrounding areas - it is such a fast growing area, whereby so many new families, as well as local businesses can help one another in each business. I remember when I moved up the Central Coast, and didn't know anyone apart from my immediate family. Trying to find phone numbers of services... knowing the phone numbers immediately was so helpful. Also having the maps is so convenient, as there are many new estates that I never knew existed! From a business perspective, knowing that you can do business locally, and therefore saving time in travel as well as money in petrol, it means that I can pass on those savings to my customers. I know that every household will find the Kellyville Directory unique, as it has local bus timetables in it as well, and I'm sure they'll be a very handy tool."

"Congratulations on putting together a fabulous directory. I love the design of my ad for Elena Parashko Gallery in the booklet."

"Hi Debbie, FYI, the revenue earned from new clients that were referred to us from the Kellyville Rouse Hill Business Directory has been around $11K. So for us it is important that we continue to advertise in the Kellyville Rouse Hill Business Directory..."
Otto Matousek, Hair Beauty & Soul
History: James from Mr Electricity has taken out a Pop sized advert for 3 years, due to the current financial downturn, he is very happy to have the option to go under a trade listing for only $165 for a years worth of exposure
"I have been advertising exclusively in the Glenmore Park Business Directory for over 3 years and find a good regular response from clients in my area that are seeking local trades people for their personal requirements. It works for me and will continue to be a valuable resource for the people of Glenmore Park"
James O'Connor - Mr Electricity
History: John and Helen Keenan from Argyll Carpet Cleaning, have been advertising since the Directory's first edition and have experienced many benefits so have decided to continue advertising in the new DirectoryCentral format.
"We have a lot of clients in the local area and have noticed that not only do they hold onto the booklet but they use it! Many prefer to support local businesses. It is a great way for us to keep a local presence as well as generate sales. We have been very happy with the directory."
John and Helen Keenan from Argyll Carpet Cleaning
Exposure to locals in this directory is fantastic for business
History: Glenmore Park Pest Control have advertised in the Glenmore Park Business Directory every year since it's very first publication in 2003. They have advertised in the DirectoryCentral PENRITH VALLEY edition with a POP advert and a Trade Listing under Pest Control.
Results: "The Directory has become an essential part of our advertising campaign, my business has certainly increased with residents preferring to use good honest tradesman in the local area. Great results from cost effective advertising. Not only has the Directory delivered us Customers but they in turn have referred us to both family and friends."
Jeff Cameron-Smith, Avail/Glenmore Park Pest Control
How the coupons have worked for me
History: Gloria Jeans, Glenmore Park had advertised in the Glenmore Park Business Directory since 2006. They have taken out an advert and coupons each year. The buy one get one for $1 worked best.
"Every year that we have advertised in the directory we have been overwhelmed with the response that we have received. In 2008 alone we collected well over 1000 coupons. With an average dollar spend of $6.20 we feel that our $600 advertisement has had a fantastic return on investment (+$6200). As the coupons last for a year we constantly get them in which indicates to us that people are holding onto and using their directories. It also means that I don't have to advertise as much throughout the year. For us, it's a no brainer - we will definitely readvertise in DirectoryCentral PENRITH VALLEY. It's even better now as I can team up with other franchisees and share the advertising cost, yet still reap the rewards!"
Bunty Gretch, Gloria Jeans Glenmore Park
