"bbi produced great sales results for us through their patented direct mail piece. Mark and his team developed a unique direct marketing format that incorporated the Brooks and Eckerd Pharmacy brand stories and promotional offers, and complemented our weekly marketing efforts. The mailer was distributed in multiple competitive markets where our stores required additional traffic. The response has been impressive, especially when compared to national FSI average redemption rates."

"The Cannons had been sending out an email newsletter for about a year before realizing we had neither the time nor the technology to implement our email marketing strategy. bbi's email marketing service provides us with hosting, campaign production, testing, delivery, and reporting as a complete outsourced solution. We are seeing a 30% open rate week-in-week-out, that's 30x better than direct mail at a fraction of the cost!"

"Most people understand that getting a new magazine off the ground takes a Herculean effort. So when The Hockey Magazine decided to target readership in both the United States and Canada the challenge was amplified.

One of our first moves was to sign-on with Mark and his team at bbi MARKETING to handle our graphic design and page layout needs. But to tell the truth, their contribution to the evolution of our magazine has gone well beyond their first-rate design work.

bbi has also added value by attracting new advertisers, providing us with retail referrals who subsequently agreed to carry The Hockey Magazine, and by simply acting as an experienced sounding board on a host of editorial issues. And to top it off, bbi is extremely accessible and flexible, just the combination our start-up venture required."

"I came to bbi MARKETING with a need for tradeshow materials. Throughout my search for a firm, my priority was to find a group that would dedicate themselves to our project - even if it happened to be relatively small in scope. Well, I'm happy to say that we hit the bullseye.

bbi quickly proved themselves by treating our project as if it were the most important job in house. They were able to manage the project from concept to print and delivered top notch materials. I was very pleased with my bbi experience and certainly expect to utilize their services again in the future."
