testimonials

I wouldn’t place 2 pages of advertising in the Business Trader every edition, if I thought it was a waste of money.- Scott Nicholas / Network Office Supplies
Running our business from Sydney is no obstacle to selling promotional products in the South East Queensland area and your magazine has been instrumental in getting our phones ringing over the last 11 years. Thank you!- Sam Wu / AC&C International
We have found this form of advertising more effective than anything we have done in the past, including Yellow Pages.- Brett Moody / Bremco Metal Products
We have been advertising with the Business Trader for the past 10 years. Starting with a modest black and white half page, we then stepped up to two full colour pages. Why? The response has escalated. The exposure has become extremely cost effective. We have discontinued a lot of other print media (due to response) and focused on your publication.- Stewarts Wholesalers
It’s been a pleasure to deal with the Business Trader for the past 6 years. Thank you for your continued support and advice with our advertisements, as the subtle changes have made a huge difference to our response.- Mark Prieditis / Telephone Wreckers
My continued involvement with the Business Trader over the past 14 years has been nothing short of staggering, with the new and long term leads I have picked up.- Ian Godbold / Godbold and Associates
We take multiple pages in the Business Trader every edition because it costs us the same as two full pages in the Sunday Mail. Trouble is, it’s there one day and gone the next. Business Trader seems to still work for us long after the edition has finished.- Greg Ford / Trade Tools
After 9 years of advertising with the Business Trader, we are blown away at the new business it continues to bring us.- Des Mason / Mason Enterprises
