Dawn Van Lanen (Tropical Shores Beach Resort) says: "Since the first week in the guide, the traffic to our web site went up. The number of e-mails increased, our inquiries went up and our reservations increased."

Dawn Lacey (Casa Mar Condo Resort) says: "We had 2 Web Sites up on the Internet and the only one that produced business was the one that was linked to EXPLORING...SARASOTA. As a result, we are removing the non-producing site completely and are having ESI design and host a different site to replace the other one that will link from the ESI guides."

Tom & Sally Reed (Key Sailing) say: "We are glad to report to you that we are now getting more new customers from EXPLORING...SARASOTA on the Internet than from the local print guides in which we also advertise. We have seen a steady growth over the last three years and are pleased with Exploring...Sarasota's marketing efforts, as well as the Web Site you designed for us."

Kim Gilliland (Prudential Cascade Realty) says: "I sold several homes from the Internet over the last couple of years by being with Exploring...Sarasota, however the new Web Site you designed for me has turned out to be a great investment. I just received a sales contract in excess of $1.2 Million as a result of the new site and the marketing efforts of ESI.

Angela Rodocker (Silver Surf) says: "The Internet traffic to our Web Site is overwhelmingly coming from EXPLORING...SARASOTA on Choice Mall. Our tracking system shows that ESI is consistently the "Top Referrer" to our site surpassing all others by a substantial margin. As a result, we have reduced our Internet advertising down to only three paying links."
(Customers who have renewed for a Sixth year)
Linda Steele (Siesta Dunes Beach Condos) says: "The Internet has been very positive for us. Our Web Site has easily paid for itself several times over by producing a lot of additional rentals for our resort condominiums. People have even called us to book a reservation while having our Site up on their computer screen. We are very pleased with the results."
(Customers who have renewed for a Fifth year)
Juanita de Longe (Truffles of Gulf Gate) says: "We are tremendously pleased with our listing in the Exploring...Sarasota guide on the Internet. We had four different groups tell us they found us in the guide on the World Wide Web the first month. One party was visiting from Sweden, another from Connecticut, one from New York, and yet another party who are local to Sarasota. We even had to turn people away for the first time (the wait was over 1½ hours).
(Customers who have renewed for a Fourth year)
Warren Wankelman (Seminole Lakes Country Club) says: "We are happy to report that we just sold our most expensive property through the Web Site that you designed for us & have listed in "EXPLORING...SARASOTA", "FLORIDA...REAL ESTATE" and "RETIRE...FLORIDA". The buyer, who saw us from his home in Brazil, contacted us a month and a half ago to request an information packet that is offered on our Web Site. He then came to Punta Gorda to see our development and contracted for a home to be built on one of our nicest lots." Jean McCall (Beach Castle) says: "Within the first week of being in the guide we picked up a reservation from the Internet which paid for the listing in Exploring...Sarasota twice over. Now that our initial investment has been recovered, everything we get the rest of the year will be a bonus.

June Curtis (J & J Homes) says: "We have found a noticeable and exciting difference in the responses we're receiving through the Internet since we signed up with ESI. Previously we were getting only 3-4 hits a month - now I am responding to 5-8 requests a week! It's a pleasure to work with you and your prices are too reasonable to resist. Definitely a positive move for J & J Homes." Rufus Bowermaster (La Playa Condos) says: "The Internet is the only advertising we are doing now. It is the most affordable and it really works! In the last twelve months, we had an increase of over $10,000.00 in Commissions from rentals - just from the Internet alone!"
