In our advertisers’ words
 
    “The results that we’ve measured against our advertising commitment to Current in Carmel show the paper to be a very wise marketing investment. No other product offers me complete market penetration close to that cost.” – Sue Finkam, manager, marketing and public relations, Clarian North Medical Center
 
    “Because of our working with Current in Carmel during CarmelFest 2007, we can attribute a substantial increase, about 40 percent, in attendance during the festival, and our parade attendance was up by an estimated 30 percent.” - Gary Frey, CarmelFest chairman
 
    “I put our coupon only in your paper as a test. Our evening business has increased by 15 percent, and that is a material number. Very successful!” – Brian Shapiro, owner, Shapiro’s Delicatessen
 
    “By advertising in Current, I have gained brand recognition in an industry that offers several different products. It’s well worth the investment. It gets me opportunities to talk to people I otherwise ordinarily wouldn’t get.” – Scott M. Wharton, owner, Wharton Insurance & Financial Services, Inc.
 
    “I don’t need to advertise anywhere else. Current in Carmel is building my Carmel practice all by itself.” – Dr. John Lowe, D.D.S., Contemporary Dental Concepts
 
    “To my knowledge, Miracle Restaurant Group’s Dunkin’ Donuts restaurant in Carmel set an opening-week record for sales for stores in what we call new markets. … Current in Carmel is, of course, among the top on our list of entities that made it happen.” – Carl Whitmire, marketing director, Miracle Restaurant Group
