RE: PREMIER GUITAR MAGAZINE APP -- “I must commend Texterity. They produced a great app. The feedback has been remarkable. The minute it was launched we instantly had thousands of downloads, thousands of sessions. (Our app, by the way, is free.) I am sure the downloads will continue to escalate, and we’re receiving rave visitor reviews which you can see in the iTunes store directly, but also on our website and in emails to our offices. People are thrilled and the next question of course is, “When are you going to have an app that works on the Droid?” The answer is that we are working on that with Texterity. They really are best of breed.” - Peter Sprague, CEO, Premier Media


RE: ADAGE WHITEPAPERS -- "When it came time to launch the first Ad Age subscription whitepaper, Texterity was our first choice to partner with. We had already been using Texterity/Coverleaf for Ad Age’s weekly digital edition and liked the features and ease of use of their platform. Plus, Texterity’s technology, support and turnaround time are second to none. We’ve been able to generate significant subscription revenue from the sale of these whitepapers. We currently have 5 whitepapers in our library and are looking to add more with Texterity this year." -- John LaMarca, Group Director, Audience Development, Crain Communications


RE: ENTREPRENEUR MAGAZINE APP -- “Embracing a mobile platform shows our audience and advertisers that we are paying attention to their needs. It’s critical that we be at the forefront of innovation and smart business practices. I’ve always felt that a responsible publisher has to adapt to the market and generate quality content across as many channels as possible. Now we have basically set the stage for the next generation of entrepreneurs.” – Mark Tavarozzi, VP of Consumer Marketing, Entrepreneur Media, Inc.


RE: DAVE CAMPBELL'S TEXAS FOOTBALL MAGAZINE APP -- “Dave Campbell’s Texas Football is a 51 year-old print brand that publishes twice a year. The demand is there to have a strong digital offering. So when it’s very clear where you can find new revenue and reach untapped readers, you have to jump on board. For us, we couldn’t do it fast enough. Having a mobile app is critical. Our books are collectible, so having a green, updatable solution adds significant value. For us, this has been a good experience. The app store sales have paid for the app. First generation is 120th of what we will expand to.” – Adam Hochfelder, General Manager, Texas Football


RE: CMG VACATION ‘GOGUIDES’ ON COVERLEAF.COM -- "We use Coverleaf's virtual newsstand to tap into thousands of online visitors looking to consume digital content. Destination marketers have a lot of content to get in front of consumers, but often struggle to find the right medium. Coverleaf is the right environment, the right audience, and the right platform to highlight our travel guides. Plus, it's great to be alongside other well-known titles, such as Better Homes & Gardens, Family Circle, and Ladies' Home Journal." - Tom Garzilli, Managing Partner, Custom Marketing Group (CMG)


RE: MAKE MAGAZINE -- "Subscriber response has been fantastic! After only two editions, over 40% of eligible subscribers have opted in to receive digital editions. We chose Texterity because they have the expertise, programs, and bandwidth to support our marketing goals in addition to creating superior digital editions." -- Dan Woods, Associate Publisher, Make Magazine


RE: CONSUMER GOODS TECHNOLOGY -- "Edgell has worked with Texterity on a number of digital-only issues over the past few years and the results have been excellent. Texterity's platform has allowed Edgell to bring an enhanced digital experience to both the content and advertisers while also providing easy integration with our ad management systems and production processes. At the same time, Texterity has provided top-notch customer service and examples that have allowed us to deliver a true digital experience to our subscribers." -- Robert Keenan, VP of Media Integration, Edgell Communications


RE: OPTICS & PHOTONICS NEWS -- "The Optical Society of America is a nonprofit scientific society of 15,000 scientists and engineers from around the world who work in the field of optical physics. It’s important to our members to receive accurate, timely information about the latest advances in their field. Our flagship publication, Optics & Photonics News, is mailed to our 15,000 members and is also available as a digital edition to all members. We added the digital edition in January 2009 to give readers another delivery option and to put more of a focus on advertising. We asked a representative from Texterity to train our ad sales team on digital ad options. She included digital ad specs in our 2010 media kit and began to suggest digital advertising to new and existing advertisers. So far we’ve sold about $11,000 in ads through the digital edition. We have an $8,000 contract with one advertiser, and another advertised for three months at $1,000 per month. Other advertisers are interested in exploring this option, but they are waiting for us to make available more information on click-through statistics—which we hope to provide moving forward. The ads we’ve sold have been cover blow-ins and leaderboard banners to promote the use of optical equipment. They are targeted at engineers and equipment purchasers. We have been pleased with the ad options from Texterity, and we encourage other association publishers to make digital advertising part of their strategic plans." -- Christina Folz, Managing Editor, Optics & Photonics News, The Optical Society of America (OSA)


RE: GRAND VIEW MEDIA -- "Texterity's innovative online publishing technology allows us to not only be creative but progressive in our pursuit of additional revenue streams from circulation initiatives and advertising opportunities." -- Stuart Anderson, New Business Development Director, Grand View Media Group/Grand View Outdoors


RE: TRAVEL WEEKLY -- "Travel Weekly provides critical news that travel professionals use to make effective business decisions. Texterity's iPhone application ensures this news is delivered to them expediently, effectively and globally." -- Robert Brai, Production Director, Northstar Travel Media, LLC


RE: ORACLEWHITEPAPERS.COM -- "Texterity has been a powerful partner in the development of OracleWhitePapers.com. Their ability to combine industry-leading digital publishing solutions with LMS (Lead Management)has resulted in a system that is positioned to readily grow with our customs' needs and expectations." -- Shaun Mehr, Vice President, Sprocket Media


RE: CABINET MAKER FDM MAGAZINE APP -- “Our whole focus is that Cabinet Maker FDM is not a magazine and not a website; it’s a brand. Last summer we merged two magazines into this brand. Our advertising base seems to like that message. With 40,000 circulation, we reach everyone from large furniture manufacturing companies to small one-and-two-man cabinet shops. Our mobile app is intended to reach the high-end hobbyist in the consumer market, as well as making the magazine more easily available to our print and digital subscribers. The biggest challenge we see is reader acceptance, so we chose this publication because it has the highest reader affinity and best chance to connect. The timing and feedback have been good, especially with the iPad launch. My thinking about the future? If you don’t have a mobile aspect, you don’t have a brand. With mobile, you can’t jump in and “be there.” You have to start small and start early. We did that, and it’s beginning to pay off. This won’t be the last thing we do that is mobile." – Bruce Plantz, VP, Director of Content, Watt Publishing


RE: ALLURED BUSINESS MEDIA -- "I can't wait to implement the new interface for our digital editions of Cosmetics & Toiletries, Perfumer & Flavorist and GCI magazines. The Clip feature especially elicited a “wow” response. It will be a particularly valuable tool for our business-to-business readers who research and are responsible for particular niches of their business. Texterity’s continuous development of its product is one of the reasons Allured Business Media has been a proud Texterity customer for the past four years." -- Linda Knott, Director of Operations, Allured Business Media


RE: BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS -- "We are always looking for new ways to engage our readers. With coverleaf.com, they can clip, save, and share content -- it's a natural extension of our printed magazine and our portfolio of brands. Coverleaf helps us to harness the power of digital in ways that make sense for our business. Coverleaf delivers real results." -- Janet Donnelly, Consumer Marketing Director, Better Homes and Gardens, Meredith Corporation


RE: ACC DOCKET -- "When we first considered digital in 2007, we posted individual PDFs of the feature articles and columns only. This solution was cumbersome for our members and not beneficial to our advertisers either because none of their ads were included. We contacted three vendors, one of which was Texterity. Three months later, we were on our way to a digital edition. We have found that working with Texterity is easy and affordable." -- Kim Howard, Editor in Chief, ACC Docket, The Association of Corporate Counsel


RE: COMMUNICATIONS OF THE ACM -- "Communications of the ACM is one title that Texterity handles for us. This is our flagship publication where we cover emerging technology, research, engineering, IT news and trends. Understandably it's important that we use a high quality digital provider in keeping with the caliber of our audience. Texterity's full-service solution meets this need." -- Scott Delman, Group Publisher, Association of Computing Machinery


RE: WORTH INTERNATIONAL MEDIA -- "Texterity hits a home run -- our company was looking for a cost-effective, feature-packed and totally turn-key digital magazine program, and Texterity delivered it. With professional and friendly support -- this is a vendor that truly embodies a working relationship with the proverbial win-win attitude." -- Gary Herman, EVP, Worth International Media Group


RE: PREMIER GUITAR -- “We’ve found them (the Texterity team) to be people who could get inside the heads of print publishers and have a good understanding of SEO strategies.” -- Peter Sprague, CEO, Premier Guitar, Gearhead Communications


RE: AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY -- "I think the service you provide is fantastic. It's great from a print designer's point of view because it allows us to keep the integrity of the design and add web features. I love it." -- J. Farrar, Senior Art Director, American Chemical Society
