Thanks Mike for keeping so connected to your advertisers and for the great work you do.”

Heidi Burrows, New Canaan Olive Oil: “Having a digital ad on New Canaanite has been a great experience. The newsletter and website are viewed by so many local residents that it just made sense to use this as a way to reach our current and potential customers. Mike has made it easy to edit ads and really cares about getting results from the ads. For example, I uploaded a photo that didn’t appear correctly on my ad and he fixed it for me before I even noticed my mistake. It is also great to get the weekly report to see how many views, hovers and clicks the ad received and Mike is really great at keeping his advertisers informed on the growth of his site, monthly views, milestones, etc. I highly recommend talking to Mike if you are trying to reach customers in New Canaan and surrounding areas!”
