"SageWoman
is the most effective place we've ever advertised. Not only do
we get lots
of calls, but more inquiries from SageWoman result in sales
than from any
other venue. This speaks of the feeling of trust that readers
feel about SageWoman,
and this carries over to the advertisers as well.
You've succeeded in creating
a nurturing, stimulating, and spirit-filled
publication."
- Johanna
Crowell, Path of Heart
"SageWoman is a rock-solid part of our marketing
efforts. We can always
tell when a new issue hits the streets, as our phone
starts ringing and the
website hits go through the roof. Keep up the good
work!"
- Pete Kowalzik, Sacred Source.
"During the first few
weeks of the magazine's debut, I saw droves of
visitors to my store, hundreds
at a time. Your magazine really reaches
people in a special place.".

Wendy Stevens, Garden Plum Enterprises
"We have received excellent

Your readers are quite responsive
and wonderful to work with."
- Rosemary Aldrich, Peter Stone Designs
"I
love SageWoman. Not only do my ads there work, but the customers who
come
to me through SageWoman are the most delightful woman. I'll be
advertising
with you forever."
- Robin Posin, For the Little Ones
