Client Testimonials

“Judge the competency of a business by what its customers say; rather than what they say of themselves.”

Richard Branson —

NYNJ Port Authority –
ABM Parking Services

“The Port Authority of NY/NJ parks millions of cars a year at its metropolitan airports and marketing these facilities to the public is no small task.

There’s nothing like having an experienced creative communications department at your finger tips to translate ideas and strategic needs into professionally executed campaigns that are noticed and remembered.

SPA gives me a dedicated team for almost any situation. They make juggling numerous projects and dozens of deadlines look effortless – and the end results are always stellar.”

Rockland County Emergency Responders

R.C. Volunteer Firefighters “With a force of over 3,000 men and women, recruitment is key to maintaining a strong service. Steve Powell has been a valued member of our Recruitment Committee since 2002 and has shown an incredible responsiveness to our needs in every facet of our operations.

In fact, as a direct result of the Canned Fire R&R Program he created, our recruitment numbers for firefighters in Rockland County almost doubled (192%) and resulted in an unprecedented waiting list for training.”

Ranni Law Firm — Elder & Disability Law Center

Ranni Law Firm Icon “sPowell Associates, and particularly Steve, have serviced the needs of my law firm from the time I was a sole practitioner with an assistant to the development of the Elder & Disability Law Center.

Being a lawyer with minimal artistic abilities or marketing knowledge, I had no idea of the importance of design, color, message or their presentation – let alone a realistic marketing program. While that program was initially branding, stationary and business cards — it grew to brochures, web site, expo materials – and ultimately to newspaper and television.

There is little question the growth of my firm is directly related to the support sPA has provided through the years. Thank you.”

Scotts Lawn Service

Scotts Lawn Service - Direct Mail Post Card“Just thought I’d give you an update…thanks to you, this year’s revenue has already matched last year. The postcard series and online newsletter are working, they are a hit, and we have only rolled out the first 3 in the series!

As you know, roughly 20% of our customers quit every off season (industry standard is 30%). So, that means we’ve already made up that lost revenue for the year and we still have another 6 months in the selling season to grow.

Even more amazing; corporate likes everything you implemented for us, and they usually don’t like anything out of the box.”

Bryan Ensall, Franchise Owner
Scotts Lawn Service

Like most independent telephone companies, we have numerous marketing tasks and goals. he helped us crystallize and focus those goals and recommended a course of action that came at our needs from several angles.

Steve combines a unique design eye with well thought out concepts and branding initiatives. His creativity and attention to detail offers me a complete package. That’s what I want in my marketing resource. Bottom line, sPA’s marketing materials worked for WVT!”

NextStepDMS

“At a time when nearly 35% of motorcycle dealerships closed their doors forever and our software customers were shrinking at an alarming rate, [sPA] rebranded our company and product line, completely revamped our sales messages and rebuilt our sales materials from the ground up.

We look and feel like a modern, state-of-the-art software company again and our new sales materials and presentations helped us pick up enough new licensees to maintain our status quo.

Scary times. Great marketing results.”
