We don’t need to convince you why Top 5 is right for your business – just check out what our clients are saying!

Dear David,

As you were aware from our first meeting when you proposed that we join the Top 5 Advertising, I stressed to you that our company monitors all results from all calls to ascertain the effectiveness of any advertising.
I am pleased to report that to date we have recorded 73 calls with a gross turnover of well above $3500.00.This I know will climb with the launch of this weekend with Telethon, and your ongoing media campaigns.

The only disappointment I have to report is that in keeping with our breakfast meeting, I have tried to utilize as many of the Top 5 Advertisers as possible, only to find that THEY DO NOT ASK WHERE WE obtained their phone number!

IF YOU DON’T MONITOR YOUR INCOMING CALLS, how can you say a product works or does not work?

I would be more than willing to back up our figures to anyone in the book.

Dear Sir/Madam,

We chose Top 5 Guide as an alternative form of advertising to other major publications as it was cost effective and we liked the idea of there being only 5 of each product type.
When we were setting up our advertisement, we found that our designer to be very helpful, and also very prompt in assisting us. This was our first major advertisement and the staff made it really easy for us.
We have been very happy with the results Top 5 has achieved for us to date. Within days of the guide being published we received enquirues from customers who had got our number from Top 5.
Using Top 5 has given us great exposure – we are very satisfied with our advertising investment.

"I thought that you might like a bit of feedback on my ad’ in the electrical section of the TOP 5 GUIDE that has recently been distributed.

On the first day of distribution in Balcatta I received a query which was converted into a job. In the following week I received a lot more queries and most of them were converted into confirmed jobs.

At this point I am receiving at least 2/3 calls a day. Most of the work is in the residential sector with a small number being in the commercial sector.

When first looking at the book I was very sceptical as to wether it would work or not  but I have been pleasantly supprised at the response."

"I am really pleased with the response I am receiving from our advertisement in the Top 5 Guide. We are quoting on average 3 jobs per week as a result of our listing in Top 5. We have already paid for our advertising in full as a result of one of these jobs being confirmed and will definitely be renewing our advertising in 2007."

I am most impressed also with the magazine in its style and presentation.

I would also like to thank your representative for outstanding support and follow-up regarding my advertisement. Truly an asset to TOP 5."

"CONGRATULATIONS the TOP 5 Guide is out there …

I was so excited to have received ours in the post yesterday when I got home from work.  Funny, because I'm in at our Balga Club today and this morning I over heard some of the members commenting on the magazine, saying how awesome it was.  It seemed to have been the general topic of conversation while all these mothers were waiting to enter into the class.

A huge Congratulations to you and your TEAM!  When do we renew for next year?"

Dear Corina,
I congratulate you and your team. From the day your directory hit the streets we started receiving enquiries. As you know, the Tap Doctor monitors each and every new customer phoning in to the call centre, and enquires where did they hear of the Tap Doctor, and this is recorded for marketing purposes so that we can accurately monitor our marketing efforts.

The Tap Doctor group made the decision to participate in the Top 5 Guide as we loved the idea of having an alternative to the more "traditional" options. We believe it's been an excellent investment with a number of our franchisees commenting on the "great response" and the fact that they're making money from the business that is being generated by the guide. We are also very impressed with Top 5's training program to help us manage our web page information with two of our franchisees attended the training. It is good news for the industry that Top 5 is being proactive in looking after our interests.

We look forward to maintaining our relationship with the team at Top 5, and continuing to enjoy the success.

With a Top 5 Guide in almost every house in WA, anybody interested in finding out "what's good on offer in WA" can find it really easily. The clients that have come to us at the salons from Top 5 Guide are always surprised & say things like "wow, I thought it would be more expensive" or "Fantastic!!! I really had an excellent service, I'm a client for life"

The Top 5 website has also been a great way for new clients to find out about us, even if they weren’t looking! Some people have said they heard about Top 5 on the TV or radio & had a look at the website & saw Theory for Hair there & then went to our website to find out more before making a booking.

Top 5 is just one of the mediums that we use to let clients find out all about us & so far it’s brought the perfect clients to us

I think if there was a Guide for the Top 5 places in the world, Perth would be in it!

MEGASUN IN THE TOP 5 GUIDE

"Every Marketing Manager's priority is to generate awareness and exposure for his product, to this end the Top 5 concept appealed.

Having been involved in the system for 2 months now and are quite convinced our money was well spent Our 'unique hits to site ratio' has exceeded our expectations. Over 750 hits in the first 2 months!

The 'back end' of the Top 5 system also allows for great information exchange and editing to get our advertisements exactly as we want them. The ability to update specials as and whenever we require, is also a great plus and allows us great flexibility with our campaigns.

My early impressions of Top 5 is 'money well spent' and the team at Top 5 are always there to assist whenever we have needed.

Quality service with a smile everytime. To all the Top 5 Team, thank you and keep up the good work!!"

"When we first heard about the Top 5 concept we knew it would work for our business. Darklight is a fun, high-energy laser game that appeals to all ages so advertising in the Top 5 business guide was the ideal way to target our vast audience. It positions us as a premier business and this is important as we attract large corporate parties for team-building sessions as well as social functions. We are listed as one of the Top 5 'Adventure' business in the State which means people can quickly find out who we are, what we do and how to contact us."

"The top 5 guide is an interesting concept, very clever play on words. The guide not only services the computer literate but also caters for those that are more comfortable with the basics. It is freely available to a good cross section of people which is crucial to any business. It appeals to the time poor society that is becoming the norm. I am confident that this will be a very effective way of advertising our business. We are extremely excited to be a part of the Top 5 Guide!"

"It is pleasing to report the recent inclusion of our company's advertisement in the Top 5 Guide has helped to get our company message out to a wider audience. Not only is our presence displayed professionally, in keeping with our organisational requirement but is has shown us how a modern professional marketing company such as Top 5 Guide can help us to achieve improved business performance.

In just a single practice online session using my new Top 5 Guide log on and password I have created a far more meaningful World Wide Web presence than I previously thought possible. Top 5 Guide has been educational, informative, and effective for us and is likely to lead to the creation of extra business for our company.

The commercial effectiveness that benefits our organisation, is delivered in our ability to measure the performance of our advertisement through the easy to decipher statistical results obtained within our private Top 5 Guide pages. In recent negotiations with our normal paper based advertising provider I now realise that the Top 5 Guide methods are the most advanced marketing mechanisms available and are now rapidly becoming the leading strategies if creation of competitive advantage is your company goal.

Well done to Top 5 Guide for their initiative and for being the first to provide this new exciting dimension in marketing. At Wrightway Road Training we commend your leadership in the Western Australian marketplace. You have our support for the future and we recognise that our presentation using your medium is going to create new business for us as well as give us the tools to look after our current clients more effectively. Well done on providing us with a customer relationship management suite of tools that are easy to use and effective in achieving results. I can't wait to see what Top 5 Guide reveal next: count us in!"

"Awnings WA has invested in Top 5 because we feel it will be a benefit to both our customers and our company. The Top 5 concept is very new and it provides a very straight forward approach for our customers to locate our business. It's easy to use, convenient and saves time, plus the size of the guide together with the business location maps are a real bonus.

The guide is far more visually appealing than any other publication and we believe this will be an attraction to customers. Although it's early days the website link is already starting to direct traffic towards our company which can only grow as public awareness increases. We are looking forward to the launch of the guide in the very near future and wish Top 5 every success."

"If you don't think you are one of the Top 5 in your sphere of influence, then you never will be. We do and the Top 5 Guide will certainly ensure that our public know how to contact us when our services are needed. It's a great concept and will assist us to compete in an ever more competitive world."

We are very excited about the opportunities Top 5 will generate for our company and the strong advantage it will give us in a very competitive marketplace. Being one of only five companies advertising under Real Estate will position us very positively in our core business area.

I could not be more pleased with Top 5 in regards to their professionalism of their service, which has been provided so far. They are also extremely responsive and realise that the clients' needs are of vital importance. By being online, www.top5guide.com.au, we feel sure we will see an increase in our bookings for our restaurant theme promotions, functions and racing areas. Great job – thanks for great service. Keep up the good work.

The reason for using the Top 5 Guide as part of our 2006 marketing strategy is because I believe that the quality of the material provided thus far has been of exceptional quality. This coupled with innovative ideas, fresh approach, something new to the market and also the connotation of being “Top 5” were just part of our decision to get on board. Linking a website to the printed guide is also a great concept as well.

Steve Salvia

We are favourably impressed with the concept, layout and presentation of the Top 5 Guide plus the exclusivity available to selected advertisers to feature their product or service in a high quality directory.

Your pre-release publicity and ongoing promotions together with the high standard of printing should ensure the guide is retained as a valuable household reference source throughout the year.

Top 5 is about promoting the best in their category or field. This makes it easy for the consumer to make a qualified choice from the plethora of businesses of varying qualities competing in the marketplace. To us at Friends not only does it promote our business, it also attracts discerning clientele.
