"I have been amazed by the results of WineCountry.com and Carolyn Lewis. Our spotlight advertisement and Mendocino lodging listing have helped us grow our web traffic over 300% in less than 3 months. The result has been a significant increase in occupancy and profitability."

Sincerely,

We are a small but charming hotel in Sonoma, our budget is very tight so we were very skeptical at first. We were "a hard sell" so to speak. We were hooked up on Friday and by Monday morning we had four confirmed bookings. We monitored every reservation very closely and they all came from Sonoma.com. The month is not over and we now have ten confirmed bookings. Great job and many thanks!

Hello Heidi -
I just wanted to pass on to the people at Freerun how happy I am with the service you provide. In my two dealings with you, (Tom Biggs), I was treated with the utmost professionalism, warmth and most importantly, complete and accurate information. Tom goes above and beyond the scope of his job with assistance in anything and everything, whether or not it is his "job". The internet can be daunting and confusing and having people around that welcome my questions and provide clear and articulate answers are a god send!!

Thank You. I am a completely satisfied customer.

To the Winecountry.com team:
"In today's fast paced and mostly impersonal business climate, rarely do I get to experience the level of professionalism and excellent service that I received from your team. My first contact with Ms. Carolyn Lewis (Sales) and later with Mr. Tom Biggs (technical support) was an enjoyable and pleasing experience. I am pleased to be associated with Winecountry.com and look forward to working with your team over the next 12 months. I was initially impressed with the Winecountry.com site and as a long term surfer on the net found your site to be above and beyond most others. The site has a professional yet simple and clean look and is VERY easy to navigate through all the valuable information. I can see why your Monterey, Napa and the other wine regions are so successful and listings are numerous.

Thank you again for all your help and support in getting us up and listed so quickly. I look forward to all the new business that will be generated from our Spotlight and Featured Listings located in Santa Barbara."

Carolyn,
I want to thank you and the team at Freerun. Since putting our web sites on www.sonoma.com The Sonoma Coast Villa Inn & Spa has experienced a huge increase in traffic and inquiries. I am now very happy for joining in on what seems to be the hottest and best advertised link we could associate with. I am also very sad that it took me over two years to make the leap. An expensive delay. Thank you.

Sonoma.com and FreeRun are a phenomenal asset to our internet presence. The site is so well crafted, that it offers multiple ways for people to find us. I would highly encourage everyone to try Sonoma.com, it will pay for itself before the check clears the bank!

"Building a new Craftsman-style inn from 150-year-old eco-salvaged redwood from a river was an exciting and challenging task and planning all the details of opening the bed and breakfast was equally as daunting. The Internet has helped our marketing efforts immensely. We joined the WineCountry.com Network before we opened and are not only pleased with the results (they are our #1 referral), but their professional and friendly attention to our specific needs have made it an absolute pleasure to work with them. As a result we have already upgraded our advertising on their site and look forward to the new opportunities I am sure they will create for their clients. "

"I want to thank you and your team for helping me work out all my domain registration and other issues with my web site! You guys have been great. I also want to comment on your stats service - it's terrific! I now have information that clearly tells me where my traffic is coming from and where I need to spend my marketing dollars. Advertising and working with FreeRun has been worth every dime."

"I cannot thank you enough for the information you gave us during the Stats Class. It has allowed us to re-structure the way we think, position our property, and measure the effectiveness of our internet marketing resources. I look forward to future exchanges and conversations. Thanks again."

"Sonoma.com is the best internet investment we've made. It provides us, by far, with more click-throughs to our web site than any other link we've tried. Thanks again."

Carolyn,
It is a pleasure to be working with you and FreeRun here at MacArthur Place. The web is our greatest source of business, and sonoma.com is always at the top of the list of referring sites. Great Job!

I may not be a whiz kid on the computer but, I know enough at this point to see that my business has tripled in the last year thanks to the Internet and NapaValley.com! I have done away with most of my print advertising because it's just not necessary. I can add or subtract vacation rentals to our site easily thanks to our friends at FreeRun.

When we first started, my wife didn't think this type of advertising would work for us. We have been with FreeRun for over four years now, and are getting over 50% of our bookings through the Internet!

We are having our best year ever, and are exceeding our expectations. A significant part is due to advertising with FreeRun Technologies.
