Hereschicago.com Supplier and Meeting Planner Recent Testimonials
 
'I am a relatively new customer of Here's Chicago and have had great success with our advertisement thus far!  I have found that we have received consistent, quantified leads from groups that we would not otherwise have had access to-- and these groups have booked!  The cost for our annual listing is well worth the price for the return that we have received.  Be sure to utilize the promotions option as well as Jim Grillo, as they are both great resources to get the most out of your money.' Devin Robnick, Director of Sales, Fulton's on the River & Levy Event Catering

“As a small culinary events company breaking into a large team building market, Hereschicago.com has done wonders to help expose our brand to quality corporate event planners.” Crissy Gershey, Director of Sales and Marketing, Parties That Cook®
 
"I have reviewed the traffic on my website domain which has grow substantially since joining your listing. Up from 60 Unique visitors a month to 120-164 unique visitors a month. I have also picked up a Triga sale and a Triga rental from internet traffic. I worked with a different company for 10 years and never received one piece of business from internet traffic. So receiving two pieces of business inside of two months from Hereschicago.com is huge, (Sales came in July and August from the web). I'm happy with the Here's Chicago listing because I can clearly see an increase in web traffic. I will be building a renewal of our contract into my advertising budget. Thank you, Ben Palmer
