PowderHandling.com.au - September 2009 Newsletter:

Welcome...

 
....to the September issue of the PowderHandling.com.au on-line newsletter.
 
We always welcome feedback, both from our listed suppliers and from web site users and recently, we have received several comments from some of our listed suppliers on the successes they have had from using the web site.
 
Gary Bryant, National Marketing Manager at Salter Australia Holdings (Accuweigh / BudPak) commented; "The PowderHandling web site must be highly rated by Google as our product articles and press releases usually rate in the first page of Google search results within a week or two of being published. These outstanding results confirm the PowderHandling web site and the PowderHandling Newsletter are attracting substantial web traffic, which in turn, promotes our published materials to a large but very specific industry audience."
 
And Mark Thompson, Director at Oli Vibrators Pty Ltd said; "Since joining PowderHandling we have received many quality leads, sometimes 2-3 per week from all over Australia and even OS, the sales from these leads has well and truly exceeded not only our expectations but our initial investment cost with you and we look forward many more to come."
 
Use this link to read these and other complete testimonials on the web site. And if you have a comment or suggestion, you can use the contact form on the web site, or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you!
