We are so appreciative of the enthusiasm our clients have when working with us -- and particularly when they pass on a good word about us to other organizations. We know how important it is to show the same support when we find a vendor or product that provides us with high-quality service. Both Susan and Leah had the chance to "pass it on" recently--in ways that were great fun!

Susan: My experience started when I called in to tell my “Cub Foods Story” in response to TV ad a couple months ago. I shop at Cub and was happy to tell them about my good experiences and shopping preferences for their grocery store; particularly as a single mom I like the great assortment of fresh fruit that is easy to give to my sons when we’re on the run to our next adventure. This month I received a call from an advertising agency asking my family to take part in a photo shoot about the Cub Stories. I took my two boys along with some clothing choices to a studio in Minneapolis. The boys got a kick out of seeing a makeup artist work on me, and they had fun posing for the photographers as part of a professional advertising shoot. You will see us Murphy’s in one of the upcoming coupon papers in your Sunday newspaper.

Leah: Like Susan, I was contacted to help market a company. We use Administaff as an external HR department, and love that we can offer our employees some of the same benefits they would get at a larger organization. We use their payroll services, and our staff also get a choice of health plans, 401K options, and access to training. We have been really impressed with Administaff, particularly because we can spend more of our time focusing on our core business (while not cheap, we calculated that the service actually saves us money based on reduced staff time needed for HR and the negotiated costs they have for insurance). Administaff's marketing department asked if I would record a radio ad for them. It was a lot of fun! I got to go to a recording studio, wear the big headphones, and read a script related to our experiences with their services. I also got to support a company that has really been a great vendor. Listen for the ad on AM radio stations starting in September.
