Testimonials
Your magazine looks great! We are getting great response from our ads and the Bricks 4 Kidz photos you put in the magazine look awesome! The nice thing about the Spectator is that, unlike some other bigger magazines, yours is truly family-friendly, is an easy read and our ad gets great placement.
Thank you so much for working with us to spread the word about our awesome programs for kids and their families at Bricks 4 Kidz!
Sincerely,
Helene Foster
Director, Bricks 4 Kidz, Coral Springs
I want to share with you our satisfaction with the advertisement we placed in the Spectator. The ad we placed drew double the amount of guests in the restaurant in comparison to a similar ad in another publication. This is the best response that we have ever received from a print advertisement.
Regards.

My experience with the ” Family in Focus” feature has been amazing. People throughout town have approached me saying that they really enjoyed the article. My kids were thrilled to have their picture in the magazine. All of their friends and teachers came up to them, saying that they saw their photo. During registration for the National Little League, many people recognized my picture and we’d have conversations about the upcoming season. It’s amazing how much interest one article can make! Thanks for including us in the Spectator Family. My family really enjoyed it.

The Spectator is an amazing publication! Each month it is jam packed with schedules, announcements and pictures from right here in our community! By adding in essential news articles and great advertisers, you have truly created the perfect hometown magazine.
Gracing your October issue’s front cover was an honor beyond my wildest expectations. The response to the cover and inside spread promoting the inaugural “Not My Daughter, find a cure now” event was truly overwhelming! Literally, I couldn’t go anywhere in town without being recognized as your “cover girl!” Hats off to The Spectator for consistently producing the top-notch, must read publication for our community!
Sincerely,

Before the day goes by, I wanted to send this quote along to you. You and Shellie have done so much for the community and your excellent publication really deserves much praise and support.
Everyone I know reads the Spectator each month! Each issue brings out what is important to families in Coral Springs and Parkland. With every beautiful photograph and well-written story featured, the Spectator truly covers the active, thriving lifestyle at the heart of the community. I believe that the Spectator is relevant for all who read it, and is a wonderful resource for growing families. Professionally and personally I recommend the Spectator!

I just wanted to thank you for your great publication. Every time I have a picture or mention of the club, I always get phone calls and all our friends see it. Everyone I know looks at the “Spectator” magazine as the leading publication to find out about all the local sports programs. We love seeing people we know and the whole family glances at it to see who will be in it next. Keep up the good work.

Nobody had to tell me this month’s Spectator had been published—I knew it yesterday when my phone started ringing! This has been true every month since I started advertising with you—the day your magazine gets in people’s hands, I start getting calls. It’s like magic!
As a newcomer to Coral Springs, I wasn’t sure of the best way to advertise my services as a piano instructor. I am so glad someone recommended you, because in less than 3 months of advertising with you, my studio was more than 1/2 full. After only 5 months, I am close to capacity. Best of all, the calls I get are “qualified prospects:” they are exactly the people I want to reach.
To be fair, I did advertise in another publication for 2 months, and I did a direct mailing; I enrolled only 2-3 students from those efforts. In hindsight, I should have saved my money—Spectator is the only publication that produced the results I needed.
You have been great to work with from Day One, and I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate the effort, care and personal touches you put into every issue of Spectator. Thank you!!

Keep up to excellent work
All the best,

You do such a great job each month showcasing so many worthy causes and individuals. It is always fun to pick up your magazine and see what is going on in the community and who is making a valuable contribution to help out. All the best to you and here’s to many more years of success with your publication.
Michael Udine, Mayor, City of Parkland
It has been a true pleasure receiving the Spectator for the last 10 years. It’s the only local magazine that I can rely on to put me in touch with family-friendly events and local businesses throughout our community. As a loyal reader, I was more than humbled when a photo I took of my son was chosen as the winner of the Sept 2011 Cover Contest, giving a much needed boost of confidence to a very shy little boy. Thank you for all that you do, and my family looks forward to another 10 years of the Spectator!
