From our advertisers:

Jezebel’s Boutique has greatly benefited from advertising with The Women’s Journal. During our first two years in business we were basically floundering, trying to advertise in every medium available, and hoping that one or more of them would work for us. The success of this strategy was mediocre at best.

In our third year we began to tailor our advertising, targeting specific populations of potential customers, and The Women’s Journal was a part of this new strategy. Our hope was to begin bringing customers into our store on a regular basis from a much larger area of central Pennsylvania than just the immediate State College vicinity.

Our ads in The Women's Journal have helped to accomplish this by bringing in customers from Clearfield, Clinton, Huntingdon, Lycoming, and Mifflin counties, and frequently from much more distant areas of the state. It has been exciting and pleasurable experience to watch our sales grow since we implemented our new advertising strategy. And a big part of the credit for this growth must go to the exposure we gained through adverstising in The Women’s Journal.

Please accept our thanks.
