This has been an invaluable investment in myself and I not only expect to earn 2X the income in the next 2-3 years but also have found the principles I learned from Bob have changed my life. I learned how to market myself and my upcoming book and have FUN doing it!

Jeff was very helpful and his experience with interpreting ideas into design was obvious from the outset. The designs were exactly what we were looking for first time around and the service was tailored and fast. Would not hesitate to recommend them and we'll definitely be using them again ourselves.

Respectful, informative and local…read more It may be because our family was written about in a recent issue, but I must truly say, Vancouver Magazine has always been thorough, informative and thoughtful. My favourite segments highlight Vancouver's neighbourhoods, spotlight locals (hey John Starkey and Gil Yaron) and share the best of what our city has to offer, like their 101 things to taste offerings. And for that, it's the one and only paper subscription I still subscribe to.

Am I the only one who reads this magazine? Likely…read more The year before I moved up to Vancouver, I subscribed to Vancouver Magazine to learn more about the city I would some day call home. It provided me with insight into the city, it's dining options, and the people. My subscription ran out around the same time I moved here but fortunately, someone leaves free copies in our building lobby. I find it a step up from Georgia Straight which I'm sure will get me in trouble with fellow Yelpers. Oh well, I like me a slick lookin' magazine and I'm not afraid to admit it. I think it does a good job of covering interesting aspects of the city.

As consumers, we all expect reputable businesses to offer an array of competitive products and…read moreservices. What impressed me about FastSigns was their customer service. I had a very small job that also had a time sensitive deadline. They could have very easily declined to take it on. When you look at their investment of time and material it would hardly seem worth it. Having said all that, they made it all happen and treated me as though I was paying thousands of dollars, not their minimum charge! And yes, they were very pleasant to deal with. Paul P.

Now just over one year old, Granville magazine is the city mag for the eco-conscious consumer set…read more Like a green version of Vancouver magazine, it covers what's new, fashionable, or newsworthy in products, stores, restaurants, and trends/movements in the city, but with a eco-friendly slant. For example, it'll show a fabulous new pair of shoes but talk up the fact that they're made with recycled materials or by a fair-trade cooperative, or with some other non-exploitive, sustainable, or local means. Cosmetics that don't harm kittens. Sweatshop-free couture. 100-mile diet and/or ocean-wise-savvy chefs. It's all here. They've also done some interesting articles already, including stuff on bio-diesel co-ops in Vancouver, why we don't have an organics recycling program, eco-friendly cleaning products, and my favourite, bike subcultures in Vancouver. But here's where a star gets taken away - the font they use for features is absolutely awful. It's pretty; it's Bodoni, I think; but it's unreadable. So unless the subject is absolutely fascinating, I often don't finish the longer articles. But if you're one of the many who strive to be stylish and socially conscious at the same time, check out Granville. Most articles are available in full online, although the brown font on off-white is, again, challenging to read.

I look forward to getting my four issues of Granville Magazine each year. The free-subscription…read morepublication focuses on sustainable living with a local twist. The features take an optimistic, informative tone and always reveal a neat aspect of BC life (such as the article about BC cheese). The magazine is, I think, coming up on two years on stands. Compared to some of the other green-focused publications out there I find Granville takes a more urban, accessible approach. I signed up for my subscription online (they advertise it as a one-year trial) and have enjoyed the publication ever since.
