Some feedback from some recent advertisers:

We ran an ad in the SourceBottle alert for our small DIY PR website and got a phenomenal response!

We are targeting small businesses and within half an hour of the alert going out we had made 3 sales, got 8 registrations on the site and this was followed by emails and phone calls with enquiries for the rest of the day. We were so thrilled and can’t recommend SourceBottle highly enough. The service that we got (with a smile!) and the immediate response we got were amazing. We will definitely be advertising more in future.

SourceBottle Rocks!

For our initial investment of $200 we have certainly gotten a much larger response than we could ever have dreamed, thank you so much for your fantastic service and I continue to be an avid reader of your SourceBottle Newsletters every day!

I was very happy with the response from the ads you sent out last week. It was a bit of a shot in the dark for me but I got many more registrations than I thought so thanks very much for that!!

I have also run a competition through SourceBottle and was absolutely ecstatic with the response as it is tailored to such a specific audience.
