Steve Ford - Chef Executive, RCOT

We recently took advantage of a banner opportunity in the RCOT Highlight newsletter. The process was very easy and slick. The click-through directly attributed from this resulted in our webpage views increasing by over 1,000% over the 2 days after the Highlight newsletter was sent. As a result it is something we are very much considering doing again.
