‘Why, this news seems soooooo familiar. There must be a six-month auto resend program at work. But the truth be said (typed), I may well end up using it again-again anyway because the photo is good, the copy is easy to work with and (oddly enough) I don’t get enough new product entries. You should get more clients in our field!”
– Mark Marselli, Editor

“I appreciate the format in which Venmark submits news releases to Chemical Equipment Magazine. I’ve been receiving new product information from your agency for over 20 years. The releases are always well written, concise, a good length, and accompanied by excellent photography. I wish everyone submitted their information in the “Venmark” format! I was talking to another editor here at Reed Business Information earlier this week and he, too, agreed you’re one of, if not the best PR firm around these days. Keep up the good work! It’s a pleasure working with you and the material you submit to our magazines.”
– Geoff Bridgman, Editor-in-Chief
Chemical Equipment Magazine
“I’d be happy to run the release. The photo was excellent. I’d like to figure out a way to give it more play than just a regular product release, but can’t promise that. I’ve enjoyed your submissions for years. They’re always the best. It just occured to me that I can run Norcross’s item in my Editor’s Picks page for November. That will give them a larger photo.”
– Geoff Bridgman, Editor-in-Chief

“In short, when I see the characteristic “editor-friendly” Venmark press release, I know it is worthwhile for me to read it because I know it contains information that I cannot afford to ignore.

– Russell L Kratowicz, P.E., Senior Editor

“Since I’ve worked both sides of the desk, I have always been impressed with the News I get from “Venmark”. To me it stands out above all the rest as the way I would do it if I were sending the stuff out.

– Ronald Hill, Editorial Director

– D. Keith Patrick, Editor

I was wondering, therefore if you would be interested in submitting a selection of your clients’ artwork to be considered for the purpose of illustrating articles in the magazine. If a photograph is used a credit to the company will be included. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you.”
