“What I find positively fascinating is that you provide a year around marketing effort. You promote my business 365 days a year. You continually remind us of what we need to do to stay on our customers’ radar. All we need to do is act on the emails you send, show up and sell! You are truly my in-house marketing department and as such a vital asset to my success!” – William Diffenderfer

"FFPS 2005 was one of the best shows I have ever had, and was certainly the most fun I have ever had at a show.  It was like old home week for me with lots of clients showing up to say hello and order something new.  I have to admit that the ProJo publicity was a big bonus for which I am grateful.  My heartfelt thanks. FFPS is a show with legs!!!" - Jeff Lind, Fine Woodworking

"This was my third year doing the Fine Furnishings show and my best yet!! Your exhaustive marketing efforts really paid off. The people going through the show were ready to buy. The blanket chest was sold on Friday and I could have sold it two or three more times over the weekend.  Keep up the good work. You will definitely see me there next year. Thanks so much." - Walt & Michele Stanley, Brookside Woodworking, Castleton, VT 

"I don't know how you do it but the show keeps getting better each year." - Bob Van Dyke, Connecticut Valley School of Woodworking

Until then we thank you very much for a great show . - Robert Francis, Windsor Chair Maker, Bryantville, MA
