Discontinued
Colours
As a small family business that supply discontinued bathroomware, we thought
we would try a small advert via WebWindows in the Sunday Times magazine. The
response was phenomenal with over 100 enquiries received by email and
telephone in the first few days, and we will definitely be using WebWindows
again. Our only concern is whether we can cope with the additional business
that any future advertisements will generate!

Catches & Latches
Catches and Latches
advertised in the Sunday Telegraph and Sunday Times and are very pleased

Interknickers
We have found
advertising in The Mail on Sunday You magazine to be our preferred
publication. We have repeatedly run our advert on this page and are in the
opinion that keeping a regular appearance has helped build brand awareness
and ultimately more business. We have had scores of people telling us that
they noticed our adverts on the page and plenty of feedback about how eye
catching it looks. We will definitely be keeping a recurring presence on
this page.

Kingfisher Music
Kingfisher Music has advertised with Web Windows on
several occasions and has found the Sunday Times Web Directory to be a great way
to attract interest from further a field, not just the local area. On each ad we
have noticed an increase in sales, and we will continue to promote our website
through this successful medium. We were provided with an eye-catching piece of
artwork that really does justice to our business and gave us the best chance for
a good response.

QVS Direct
QVS Direct has been regularly advertising with Web
Windows for several months now, a great way of generating a tangible response.
We have advertised across all publications, with the Sunday Times and Sunday
Telegraph being our particular favourites. These ads are a great way to
affordably attract scores of new people to our site by making sure our brand
name is being promoted to the millions of Sunday readers.

Shape 8
Shape8.Com tried a test panel in the Web Directory in the Sunday Times and were
delighted with the 1000’s of extra visitors this generated for our web site. The
art department did an excellent job putting together our art work after we gave
them some suggestions and we look forward to using Web Windows again in the
future when other special occasions arise.

Lloyd Loom Online
Lloydloomonline decided to try a series of single Web Windows panels in the
Sunday Times Magazine. The response has been fantastic with lots of enquires and
following sales. We are now considering upgrading to double panel sizes to
maximise our exposure and build on the success of our ad campaign using Web
Windows.

Pet Department
Pet Department decided to try an advert in the Sunday Times after having had
success with our ad in Observer Magazine. The response gained from our
advertisement in the Sunday Times Web Directory was immediate and so pleasing
that we have just booked a longer series. I was also extremely pleased with the
very professional help with the layout of the advert and the copy produced was
superb. We look forward to working with Web Windows in the future.

Decant-Air UK
Initially, we ran a series of three consecutive single panel advertisements in
the Sunday Times Magazine. We were very pleased with the increase in business
and traffic to our site that we decided to make a real showpiece of our next
advertisement in the lead up to Christmas.
Our latest advertisement is four times the standard panel size. It looks
fantastic, really stands out well and dominates the page.
We have been impressed by the speed, efficiency and professionalism of Web
Windows and look forward to continuing our relationship with them in the future.

Shop Safe
We began advertising with Web Windows at the end of last year, running a
campaign of six adverts in The Observer Magazine. Since then we have advertised
in all their publications, one of our favourites being The Sunday Times
magazine. We have been pleased with the results generated from the adverts
placed and as a result have continued to advertise on their web directory pages
on an ongoing basis every couple of weeks.

The Tandem Experience Ltd
Tandeming chose to run a single insertion in the Sunday Times as a trail run to
see what kind of interest would be generated. Whilst we were aware that a series
is generally the best way to build a really good response, budget restrictions
dictated! We were extremely impressed with the 80% rise in traffic to our site,
which could only have been attributed to this advert. Not only did traffic rise
on the Sunday when the ad was actually published but continued through the week
too. We will certainly be using Web Windows again in future as we are confident
that when needing to highlight specific offers, or generate interest at quite
times of the year, that it really does pay.

Living Beer.com
Living Beer has an established and successful relationship with Web Windows
forged through over a year's worth of advertising. We use Web Windows as part of
an established advertising schedule for 2 reasons, one is to gain exposure at
times of year when our product is especially relevant and second Web Windows
allows smaller companies to enjoy advertising in mass media which would be
prohibitively expensive to do alone. We know that raising awareness at these
times of year really bolsters our profile as well as sales; for example we
appeared last Christmas and in the run up to Fathers Day, with fantastic
success. Living Beer has also taken the opportunity to use Web Windows as a
reliable pick me up at slower times of the year and will remain firm clients for
the coming years.

Ticket Tree
We decided to trial an insertion in The Independent on Sunday after forming an
understanding of the readership and concluding that they fitted our target
customer. From the first day which our advert appeared we had instant feedback,
approximately 30% of our response came through on the Sunday which the advert
appeared. We know in theory that the magazine is kept into the week but were
skeptical as to whether or not people would still see the advert. We were
impressed when custom kept coming right through until the following Thursday.
Overall we were really pleased with a one day advert, which bought in 5 days of
trading, and was at an excellent price when we booked it! We are now keeping Web
Windows at close quarters to ensure that we can rebook when we feel it
appropriate throughout the rest of the year.

Trick Turn Ltd
We decided to go ahead and book a series of three ads in The Telegraph after a
deal was offered that we thought too good to refuse. We had an excellent looking
ad, which appeared on a great looking page, where there were only 14 other ads.
The format looked good and the response that came through as a result was
brilliant. Spritz.co.uk is quite a niche business; selling fancy dress costumes
and equipment over the internet; finding a good platform is difficult, we're
glad we've found it with Web Windows. We are now looking into booking again
later in the year when we feel that Web Windows will spur people on to our site.

The Original Hot Tub Company
Over the course of the last 6 months The Original Hot Tub Company has been
running a prolonged campaign of adverts with Web Windows. We are pleased to
report that we have appeared in all 4 of their publications The Sunday
Telegraph, The Sunday Times, The Observer and The Independent each one bringing
through response. We feel that the best return came from The Sunday Times and
are now happy to appear regularly, confident that the excellent returns justify
the cost. We feel that our success is also reflective of the brilliant art work
which we have been running; a double sized horizontal panel, which we believe
dominates that page and really catches the readers eye.
www.theoriginalhottubcompany.com will most certainly stay in The Sunday Times
whenever the opportunity arises and we are happy to put our name to a
testimonial citing our great response.

Brompton Home Health Ltd
We wanted to test the response that could be gained by advertising to 2.9
million affluent readers on a three weekly trial. Home Heart were very impressed
by the fantastic artwork produced for them by the in-house art department.
The series of advertisements generated increased traffic to their website which
brought along an increase in sales of Home Defibrillators . The overall high
response to the advertisements has meant continued and successful advertising
for Home Heart on a frequent basis.
"The increased number of hits and traffic to our website together with the
overall response rate from customers has made us want to continue advertising
with Web Windows and build on an already successful relationship."

RSVP Introductions
RSVP has always been a fan of press advertising, maximising our local presence
throughout our core area of the country. We were looking at ways of expanding
the business when we were approached by Web Windows, who created a marketing
strategy, including multiple insertions in The Sunday Times Magazine and The
Sunday Telegraph Magazine. We were offered a brilliant deal and were impressed
with the excellent response which started to come back as soon as the adverts
were published. Enquiries came from all over the country and we are now looking
to expand our service, to gain further access to this broader market which Web
Windows has opened up for us. This is most definitely a successful and lucrative
way of appearing before millions of people which RSVP will be continuing.

Diana Porter Jewellery
We ran a trial insertion in The Observer Magazine which we rapidly followed up
with a second when we saw the response that started to come through straight
away. We are really impressed with this flexible way of advertising and like the
fact that Web Windows can be booked around current advertising and bring in
immediate custom. The mix of advertisers on the page with us meant that we
weren't fighting over prospective customers with any direct competitors and we
hope to keep this a guarded secret to stop them from catching on! We are
planning our next steps with Web Windows, happy in the knowledge that we can
predict what will come from it.

Instant Holidays
www.ski-ski-ski.co.uk ran Web Window ads in The Sunday Telegraph and The
Observer and enjoyed extremely buoyant sales. This method of promoting our web
site was extremely cost effective, allowing us to reach large numbers of
affluent consumers who may not use search engines. We received interest from
parties who had learnt of our services from our site, therefore minimising the
number of fruitless enquiries. Web Windows has a successful formula that we
shall use in future to promote our other sites.

MBT Customs
We decided to test out Web Windows as an advertising medium to gain publicity
for our website and ultimately to generate more sales. Following the exposure of
our advert to 1.7 million readers in The Sunday Telegraph Magazine we were
delighted by the response that it produced.
During the week the advert appeared the results were superb. Apart from the
increased number of hits made to the website sales generated were much
appreciated. The amount sold far outweighed the cost of the advertising.
So pleased with the response, we're now looking to advertise with web Windows on
a more permanent basis."

Astral Aspects
"I'm delighted with the service from Web Windows. The design team have perfectly
captured the essence of my on-line shop in the ad they produced, while the sales
team always keep in touch with last minute special offers. What's more, I see a
measurable increase in sales whenever my Web Windows feature appears."

Bean Machine
As a first foray with Web Windows we took our time in considering which
publication was right for us. We chose to run an initial campaign in The
Independent on Sunday Review in order to target a manageable number of wealthy
internet users. For what we felt was a relatively prominent ad we were impressed
that costs were kept to a minimum. Throughout the period which our ad appeared
in the national press, interest in the site was maximised and hits were
increased. We are more than happy with the increased sales and definitely plan
to appear again in Web Windows proven publications.
Szymon Siara
www.beanmachine.co.uk
Software Galaxy
Web Windows approached us with a low cost offer to appear in 3 prestigious
publications, spread over a period of time. This meant that our budgets were not
overstretched and we could put together a lengthy campaign to reach 6.3 million
readers. This was the first time Software Galaxy had appeared in such mass
circulating media and we were impressed with the results. Cost will prohibit us
from being a full time advertiser but we will ensure that when we can, we will
embellish our marketing campaign with some much welcomed exposure from Web
Windows.

Ambush Paintball
Ambush Paintball tried Web Windows as an experiment to see if there really would
be any response from advertising in the national press. We were impressed with
the art work which was speedily put together for us by the Art Team at Web
Windows. When the advert was published in The Independent on Sunday we noted an
increase to hits on our site which we believe has contributed to raised
awareness. We intend to stay in touch with Web Windows with a view to further
advertising when the time is right

Data Browse
We were searching for a way to improve traffic to the site when we were
approached by Web Windows. We considered their offer of reaching a cumulative
figure of 3.3 million people over 6 weeks. We were impressed by the results and
found traffic to the site was buoyant throughout the period. As a search
facility, traffic through the website is vital to us and we are pleased to
report that Web Windows helped sustain this. We will be interested to receive
more information from Web Windows with a view to booking further series in
future.

IT Nerd
This was my first national advertising campaign and I chose Web Windows as they
offered a new, fresh medium to reach a national audience without the over
inflated prices. Since the first ad appeared in July 2004, I have seen a growing
interest in the itnerd.com web site and will defiantly consider Web Windows
again when planning my next national campaign.

Telephones Online
I am happy to place on record that the response to our Web Windows advertising
led to increased enquiries, which converted into a substantial number of sales
for Telephones Online. An email from Web Windows had been forwarded to us by a
fellow website owner. After various discussions we chose Radio Times as being
best for our market as far as reader profile and coverage was concerned. The
overall success of our campaign has led to an ongoing relationship with Web
Windows that will certainly result in further appearances in their publications.

Holdsworth Chocolates
Holdsworth Chocolates ran a series of ads in Web Windows for The Independent on
Sunday and received an excellent response resulting in a substantial amount of
orders and online enquiries. This form of advertising has allowed us to reach an
audience, which may not have considered using a search engine to find us. We
appreciated Web Windows honest and professional service and we look forward to a
continued warm relationship.

The Digital Camera Company
We have now run a series of adverts on two separate occasions and have found a
very noticeable increase in online sales during and after each campaign. Coupled
with this there was also an increase in our average basket value so there is no

in the future.

Passion8
We have had a continued advertising relationship with Web Windows for over a
year, advertising mostly in the Observer and the Independent with our website
Passion8.com. Throughout this time we have advertised frequently and have
enjoyed a great response the advertisements have generated for us. On a cost
ratio we could not advertise in these publications for the same cost as Web
Windows and a relatively small ad would simply be lost in a section, whereas in
the Web Windows section it has a higher profile and targets online users
directly. We have had a lot of advertising experience in a variety of
publications and I am happy to say that Web Windows has been one of the top
performers. We have found Web Windows service to be professional and the
advertising they provide to be very beneficial in boosting our exposure,
increasing our traffic and improving on-line sales. We shall certainly be doing
more business in the future.

Pountney Clinic
We have been advertising with Web Windows since August 2001. We started with an
initial test series in The Sunday Telegraph and found the response very good.
Since then we have added The Independent on Sunday, The Observer and Hello!

future campaigns.

Lens-Net
After an initial series test run, we found a noticeable increase of hits to our
site which lead directly to online purchases. Web Windows has now become an
important part of our marketing activity as its various pages in magazines are
an ideal way of reaching large numbers of people who regularly purchase from the
Internet. Lens-net has now booked a long-term series with Web Windows.

Union Jack Supplies.co.uk
Union Jack Supplies.co.uk ran a tactical Web Windows campaign across Radio Times
and The Observer. Our objective was quite simple; to shift as much product
online at a strategically important merchandising period for us. Web Windows
gave us carefully reasoned media advice and through their design team some very
strong creative for use in our advertisement. The campaign was a great success
and gave a positive return on investment. There is no doubt we will be using Web
Windows again in the future.

Internet Cameras Direct
We tested The Sunday Telegraph Magazine's Web Windows in September and found the
traffic to Internet Cameras Direct increased by 25%. Furthermore, unlike other
magazines where we have advertised, the increased traffic was sustained for
quite some time afterwards. We are now regularly using their excellent pages.
Nigel Applerley
Nice Surprises
The advice Web Windows gave concerning how to market our website in magazines
was invaluable. Nice Surprises tested initially with a three-series in just one
Sunday supplement to gauge the response. We found that with each insertion the
amount of orders generated increased each time. For our second phase we are now
introducing another magazine, knowing that the Web Windows concept has had a
marked effect on sales. We are looking forward to a continued relationship with
Web Windows.

The Cartridge Shop
Following each of our advertisements we have received a surge of hits on our
website cartridgeshop.co.uk, together with a large number of extra calls to our

Robert Eve
Italian Wines Direct
Web Windows has enabled us to reach further clients at an affordable price. In
considering advertising nationally I looked at a range of different media
options, finally I decided that Web Windows was correct for my budget and would
target the correct market.
The service that I have received has been both efficient and courteous, we have
substantially increased our registered members and more than covered the cost of
the initial advertising.
I am now looking at increasing our advertising and will of course be using the
services of Web Windows.

ShoeNet
This was the first time we chose to advertise our website offline and the
efficiency with which the artwork was created was very impressive. During the
time that our ad series appeared, this was the only advertising ShoeNet ran. We
can therefore attribute the doubling of hits on our website to our activity with
Web Windows in The Mail on Sunday's Night & Day. We look forward to advertising
in their publications in the future.

Web Windows made a simple process of booking a campaign into the national press.

massively, increasing by two-fold."

Grandad-shirts
"We made enquiries about advertising in Web Windows having seen their pages
appearing in a number of Sunday supplements. After careful consideration, we
felt that The Observer served our market best and ran a series of three ads
promoting Grandad-shirts.com. We have enjoyed a very good response from our
advertising and with every order taken we have asked how people have come across
our site. With most orders over the last few weeks, the replied has generally
been as a result of seeing our Web Windows ad. The artwork and overall service
Web Windows has provided us with has been nothing but professional and are happy
to recommend their services to other specialist websites. We look forward to
doing business with them again."

Welsh Gold PLC
Web Windows has provided Welsh Gold PLC with an excellent opportunity to promote
our pure Welsh gold jewellery in mass circulating media. We chose to use a
double-sized advert and found response was very positive throughout the time
that our advert appeared in the national press. Web Windows will certainly be an
option that Welshgoldplc.co.uk will be looking to use again.

Advantage Travel Centres
We have been advertising with Web Windows since July 2001 and would like to
place on record how pleased we have been with the increased response to our
website, achieving a massive 300% increase in hits to our site in August that
year. Web Windows is also proving to be a very cost effective medium for raising
our brand awareness with the consumer, and in driving enquiries through to our
agents in the high street. It remains our main advertising medium and I look
forward to any future developments and a long-lasting relationship.

Nylon Dreams
Nylon Dreams.co.uk were emailed by Web Windows with idea of running a colour ad
in the Sunday supplements. As we do not have limitless budgets we considered
very carefully the magazines in their portfolio and decided to test market in
The Observer. To date we have been more than happy with the response we have
enjoyed. Hit rates increased quite considerably but more importantly, we shifted
a decent amount of stock. We are now planning our next tranche of advertising
and Web Windows will be featuring again.

Mrpcclean.co.uk has quite a unique product in that we produce excellent cleaning
products for PC screens, plasma screens, TV's etc. Although of universal appeal
we found it quite a challenge to find the right place to market it successfully.
By advertising in Radio Times Mrpcclean.co.uk found a lucrative market that
already had a proven interest in our product their use of a television! Web
Windows produced an attractive ad that provided us with increased hits to the
web site, but more importantly sold the stock!
