Magazine of Astronomy & Stargazing
in the words
of Our advertisers
“Thank you again for the wonderful SkyNews magazine.
it does a superb job of addressing the mainstream observers
in canada. . . . Our ad in SkyNews was a significant step in getting
established in business. we learned very quickly that focused
advertising is the best way to spend our advertising dollars.
we tried putting ads in local newspapers—and even radio—
and a listing with businesses in central alberta. For all that cost
and effort, we can’t point to one positive response.
But getting into SkyNews . . . now that makes a big difference.”
—Ken Fromm, All-Star Telescope
___________________________
“i have been in business for 17 years. when i decided to
advertise in your magazine, the results were more than i expected.
The first few months were average for the response generated
from our ad in SkyNews. But lately, it has surpassed my
expectations. i have people coming in to our small shop
inquiring about our custom-made video ccd cameras
and our line of domes and asking whether we carry telescopes.
Thank you and your whole team for producing such a magazine.”
—Rock Mallin, Pro-Com Electronics & Telescope Repairs, Ottawa
___________________________
Kent Goranson is the general manager of Focus Scientific, a
retail advertiser located in Ottawa. when asked whether SkyNews
worked for him, he laughed and, referring to an earlier review,
replied, “we sold a truckload of telescopes when you ran that
article.” when asked whether he actually meant “a truckload,”
he said, “i sold a whole truckload.”
‘Getting into SkyNews . . . now that makes a big difference.’
