Home - The Newsy Neighbour

Hola Aleesha, Kathryn and Denise,
I just wanted to let you know how awesome you are for putting together The Newsy Neighbour.

Let me explain........
I am originally a Cape Bretoner, who ended up in Ottawa, just retired in Sep 2011 - made the plunge and moved to a Strathmore acreage (met this really great guy...so hopefully this latest edition will come in handy - wink, wink!). So, as you can imagine, lots is happening with my life and many exciting and wonder times are in store for me.
But moving and living out West can be quite a culture shock, so I was thrilled to discover the Newsy Neighbour. Why?
It has helped me feel connected to my new home, and to my new community. I have used The Newsy Neighbour to find a fantastic' hair dresser, a 'yummy' bakery, my 'always knowing' car mechanic and many other local businesses - but most importantly, these connections have also resulted in new friendships. So at least from me - thanks Newsy Neighbour for being there!
I also love the great humour and the stories, so keep up the great work.
Sincerely,
New to Strathmore,
Edie Tomaso

Dear Newsy Neighbour,
Here is something I had meant to send you ages ago... better late then never!
Why do we love advertising in Newsy Neighbour? Because we have found this to be incredibly effective advertising. We often will ask new customers how they found out about us, and their response is through the ad in your magazine.
The Newsy Neighbour magazine is such a fun publication, that I believe people hang onto this magazine and read it when they get a chance. Then, upon seeing our ad and will call us late into the month.
We have found that this has been one of the best places to advertise because the rates to advertise are so reasonable and the distribution is so high.
As an advertiser, and a reader, we say: keep up the great publication!

"We love the Newsy Neighbour. You girls are so easy to deal with and we appreciate your efforts in helping us advertise our year-round basketball, badminton, and volleyball programs, as well as our annual summer camps. We have been offering sports programs for children in this community for 18 years and have really noticed how important advertising has become, as there are so many more options out there for youth. Your ads in the Newsy Neighbour magazine have helped keep our programs popular and have also reached many home-schooling families who are now using our sports programs to fulfill the Phys. Ed. component of their curriculums."

I think you know by now that the Gleichen and District Community Association think this magazine is "the best". You have given our organization the publicity it has needed for our events over the past few years. You have always tried to "pretty" up our ads in such as way that makes them eye-appealing and get people to notice them. Our thanks.

Yes we are still receiving/reading the newsy neighbour. I absolutely LOVE IT!, especially the jokes! Some have us laughing until we have tears in our eyes. It really makes our day! KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK!!! ~ Bernie

I could write for pages and never be able to fully express the gratitude I feel towards the Newsy Neighbour. I truly believe that my business is as successful as it is because of not only the Newsy Neighbour but the amazing ladies that operate it. From day one they have supported not only my business but have believed in me as well. I am honored to call them friends.

The advertising alone speaks for itself. I joke that I need to hire a receptionist for the week following the Newsy Neighbour's latest issue. My phone rings off the hook. It is absolutely amazing; I look forward to it each month and have never been disappointed.

In the first year of my business I tried out many forms of advertising and utilized many different publications. The Newsy Neighbour is one of the few that made the cut for year two.
