The proof of the pudding is in the eating! The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations dates this very old proverb back to the early 14th century. The phrase is widely attributed to Cervantes in The History of Don Quixote, although not proven. Read on to see what our clients have to say about our services.

3 Doc Solutions

Over a couple of hours Alison and I discussed my business and marketing goals. We reviewed my current marketing activity and analysed the successes. She had really done her homework and was able to give me insights on the areas to focus my attention for most efficient results.

I came away from our meeting with a list of things to consider and the motivation to elevate my marketing strategy. Following the meeting I also received a comprehensive plan of attack, detailing the actions I should take to properly leverage my efforts.

As a small business owner it can be hard to know what to do for the best. Alison made the process easy and insightful. She explained her reasoning for each suggested improvement putting me back in control without making me feel overwhelmed. I would highly recommend a marketing review session with Alison Page Marketing for any small business.

Really friendly, professional marketing advice to get your business known!

Helen Pettifer Training Ltd

Over the year of working with APM, they have provided a suite of marketing support for my business, including email marketing, product design and website maintenance.

This support has meant I was able to step away from these tasks and focus on growing the business and do what I do best.

I have always found them to be responsive, proactive, and solution-focused and would recommend them to any small business owner.

Neil Moran Associates limited

It was good to meet up again – and very productive.

As you say, things have massively changed (and gone bigger / wider than we anticipated), but there is no point building anything on foundations of sand. We totally value your input and will move forward as we need to, with your help, so that this time, we get it ‘right’.

Neil Moran MRICS, Managing Director, NMA

Helen Pettifer Training

I started working with Alison a few months ago with her supporting my email marketing. Alison took the time to fully understand my brand, my message and what I’m looking to achieve. With her prompt responses and attention to detail, I immediately felt confident that she would meet my needs and marketing schedule. Which she did!

Since then, Alison has designed the graphics for my new business model and my new business cards. Once again, her attention to detail and ability to grasp what I’m looking to achieve meant that the projects were completed on time and to a high quality.

We’re now in discussion for her to update my website and support with design services on my upcoming products. There seems to be no end to her talents and services, which I highly recommend.

Alison was a great asset to the team.

J Finance Limited

Alison has been working with J Finance for a year now and when we look back we have completed so much. Initially we created a marketing plan, and our first project was to produce a professional looking range of client facing documents, brochure and a folder. We also completed a successful mailing campaign followed up with phone calls and local newspaper adverts generating higher than expected response. We are now turning our attention (and budgets) to social media creating a mailing list and producing a monthly newsletter, the first of which has had a great response. Alison has been patient and thorough with all her advice and the work she has done for us. She is professional but friendly and has helped direct and support our marketing activity. She has helped put us on a secure marketing base from which it will be far easier to engage with our clients.

She provided a professional approach and posed proactive questions from the initial consultation in order to ensure the rebranding of my business and development of website including copyrighting was completed within agreed budgets and timescales. It was particularly beneficial that she could consider my proposals from the point of view of a consumer and my target market, rather than solely a professional involved within the property industry on a daily basis.

CanadaUK Partners

Alison and I have just completed a project for one of my Canadian clients and I have to say it has been a real pleasure working with her as she is a real team player as well as being a highly capable and experienced marketer. Alison always takes the approach of ‘what is best for the client’ not ‘what is easiest for me’, unlike some I’ve worked with. The project was a true partnership of complementary skills and knowledge which will benefit us both in the future, as well as the client.
George Edwards – CanadaUK Partners

Adam Hollier Photography

I’m sure many of us are inundated with blogs, newsletters and updates on how we can best manage our business etc but there’s only one marketing blog I read and that’s Alison’s. If you haven’t subscribed to her mailing list then I can’t recommend it enough.

APEX Planning Consultants, Independent Town Planning Consultants based in Milton Keynes

Alison was willing to listen to my ideas, to work with those, but also to put her own ideas before me. Together this resulted in my new business taking off, the creation of its logo design, website ideas, stationery and more. This was achieved without fuss, in a timely fashion and very importantly for a new company, at relatively minimal cost. I have been pleased with every aspect of Alison’s approach to my business as her ideas are targeted, so that I am not overwhelmed with options and ideas. She seems to know, intuitively, just what is necessary. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Alison’s services, indeed I have already spoken to other companies about what she might be able to offer to them.
Paul Smith – Owner – APEX Planning Consultants

I feel this is a testimony in its own right, which is one of the reasons I am happy to recommend her services. I know that as well as being an expert marketeer, providing excellent service is also top of her priority list.

Thanks so much for all your brilliant work on the website and brochure. I’m so pleased with it all and I know that the reason getting it all done in such a pain-free manner was down to you managing the process.

Aid4Disabled, online advice and information service

I had a fixed amount of money that was available to modify and improve my website. Alison was very quick to understand what was needed and she was able to describe her ideas in easy to understand sentences. I know from experience that the user frequently does not get what they expect. I was never left in this awkward position. Alison and her software colleague changed my website so it looks much sharper and more professional. The work was completed on time and within my budget. Well done to both Alison and her colleague Louise. Thank you Patrick www.aid4disabled.com.
Patrick Burke – Founder
