For 42 years Contractors Hot Line has been privileged to provide advertising services for thousands of corporations and we've been grateful for their business. Every advertising media will "tell you" they do a good job for their clients. We thought we'd provide you with several currently active customers and readers whom you might call to find out what they are saying about our family of construction publications: Contractors Hot Line, Parts Connection, Attachment Connection and Municipal Connection.

I want to let you know I certainly appeciate the improvements to your web site!!!! The digital magazines are much more readable and easier to navigate.

I just wanted to drop you a quick note that already we are receiving calls from customers who have seen our ad. Very encouraging to pass on to the "higher ups" especially since people must just be receiving the issue.

Thanks again

Just a quick note to tell you how happy we are with our Front Cover on Dec. 29, 2006 (with special circulation to the attendees at upcoming World of Concrete show). The first day it hit the stands we saw a huge spike in activity on our website-- about 400%! And today it's even higher.

Thanks for your help and for helping raise awareness about VOCON.

The Attachment Connection produced immediate results for our company's product the ECO-CRUSHER™.

I just had to write and say “Thank you”.

I was placed in charge of getting the word out on some parts that we were liquidating. I was given several options for advertising. On the surface this seemed to be a simple task but after having some companies fax me generic price rates (very high ones at that), and trying one (partially because he actually called back), I felt we were getting no where.

But, in the midst of all this I was fortunate enough to call your company and speak with Maureen Anderson, who not only handled our business with a professional attitude by completely designing our ad, and placing us into your monthly publication, but also the weekly and internet services as well. And she did all this for quite literally half of the price of the competition with a much larger ad! And perhaps best of all was the personal touch, her willingness to go the extra mile and her positive and friendly attitude! I wish everyone I dealt with on a day to day basis was as nice. 

Of course it is important to note we received several calls from your ads, and none from the competitors.

Thanks again!

I Loved our experience with Crane and Contractors Hot Line! Within one month we sold our crane. Casey was one of the most personable and helpful sales person I have ever had the experience to work with. I would definately call again if I was ever in the market to buy or sell a piece of equipment again. Keep up the great work and Casey should get a raise!

After five days in Contractors Hot Line our ad generated a sale in California for a 349H John Deere Wheel Loader.

I was very pleased with the response and the speed at which it sold. Thanks to Hot Line and Chandra!

After an extensive marketing effort on our own with no results, we ran an ad with Contractors Hot Line and sold the difficult to move item in a reasonable length of time. Contractors Hot Line offered us layout suggestions and expertise that, I felt ended in positive results for us. We were counseled on giving the ad enough time to get the desired results. We also had the advice of a knowledgeable staff on the pricing suggestions that did work. We sold the item. Thanks again to all the staff!

I appreciate you working with us, financially on the LUBE-A-BOOM ad which will allow us to keep our full dealer listing intact for the next 3 months.

Also, I want to make it known that we really appreciate Cindy's quick response time to our needs whether it is getting changes made, keeping us informed or whatever comes up. We deal with a lot of vendors and nobody treats us better than Crane Hot Line (Cindy). Hopefully, because of everyone's efforts, it will allow us to continue our ad with you on an ongoing basis as we grow our business. Looking forward to meeting all of you at Conexpo.

Our company is specialized in manufacturing heavy duty brushcutters for excavators for land clearing application. As our market evolved, we realized that our customer base was steadily increasing from forestry towards general contractor businesses. We decided to start advertising in Contractors Hot Line. We were surprised to realize that a few days after our first publication, we already had three serious leads...
