People You Need to Know, Inc. Helps Metro Atlanta Businesses Grow

People You Need to Know, Inc. is reeling from the excitement their new publication is causing so far this year. After only three months, feedback from their clients indicates that many are anticipating a banner year.

Bryce Evans, president of Maxen Homes, LLC, in metro Atlanta says her voice mail is filled to capacity each day with new opportunities that stem from exposure in the publication. Another client, a real estate agent, reported selling four homes in the month of January. One of them sold for $1.25 million during what is considered a down market.

Attorney Karen Gregory Hines, who specializes in personal injury, has also been overwhelmed with phone calls that have turned into business.

Dr. Danielle Wilson, a dentist in Dunwoody, Georgia, has advertised with People You Need To Know for seven years. She is pleased with the interest her ad on the back cover has generated. She’s received calls from all across the country regarding the “Kissable” toothpaste line she launched at the beginning of 2007. Dr. Wilson says she’s gotten more new clients as well.

Both Attorney Hines and Dr. Wilson have already renewed their ads for next year. In fact, Attorney Hines will be one of the ladies gracing the cover of the next publication.

The many satisfied clients are joined by consumers who are also elated to be able to find the professionals they need — right in their communities. One consumer called the main office to say, “This publication is great! This is wonderful. I started making calls the next day to find people I could do business with. So far, I’ve found a new dentist, a new pediatrician for my kids and a financial advisor from the People You Need to Know newsletter.”

Individuals living in many cities on the outskirts of metro Atlanta, as well as in states as far away as California, Nevada, New Jersey, Alabama, Florida, Michigan and Ohio, are raving about the publication and how inspirational it’s been to them. This increase in demand has caused the publisher to consider a second printing. In the meantime, the publication can be viewed online at www.sparkplugpeople.com.

A representative from DistribuTech, the largest distributor and merchandiser of free publications in the United States, says People You Need To Know is their fastest moving publication in locations such as Kroger, Sears, Kmart, Blockbuster, Eckerd and Bally’s. He confessed that DistribuTech has never seen anything like it! Because the publication is very attractive and filled with information about top professionals, including physicians, dentists, real estate agents, mortgage brokers, attorneys, etc., the DistribuTech representative says it literally flies off the shelves.

Jacqueline Benjamin-Thomas, vice president of People You Need to Know, Inc. stated, “This publication has been especially helpful to consumers who have just moved to the metro Atlanta area. We constantly receive emails and phone calls from many of them who praise the publication and thank us for making it available. Our major problem has always been keeping the distribution points filled since the publications move so quickly. We are grateful to have a problem such as this one. Making it easier for consumers and business owners to connect in metro Atlanta is our ultimate goal.”

People You Need to Know is published yearly. A high-tech digital version of the entire publication can also be viewed online. Fifty thousand copies are free to the public at over 500 distribution points via retail outlets and advertisers’ offices. It is considered metro Atlanta’s premiere business spotlight publication.
