“Children’s Discovery Center was honored to be selected to share our entrepreneurial story in Abec’s Small Business Review. The exposure enabled us to enhance our circle of influence among working parents in our community. Since this is our 30th anniversary year, we also had the privilege of using the Review to thank the greater Toledo community for entrusting their children to us for the past three decades.”

Our experience with Abec’s Small Business Review is very positive. Patrick and his staff are extremely responsive and genuinely interested in our business. We appreciate their approach to our story and they way they highlight the personal aspect of our business. The unique passions of a small business owner are what set us apart from the “big box stores.” Small businesses are what create character in a community and Abec’s is right there supporting us in our endeavors!

“It’s been slightly over a year since my story was in the Toledo edition of ABEC’s Small Business Review. I received many comments from readers of the paper, so I know that it is widely read. The story provided great visibility for my business; I generated new clients, including someone that continues to work with me and has referred several other great clients. So if you want to build visibility and credibility for your business, I highly recommend being featured in ABEC’s Small Business Review.”

As a consultant and writer, I don’t have the time to meet with everyone I’d like to so my columns help me provide a personal conversation with people I don’t see regularly or maybe have never met. The tone and availability of the paper provide me with a constant readership to help the businesses of Northwest Ohio take a few moments to learn a tip or trick to better run their business. I know that the outreach is working because I regularly run into a person who will say “I really like your articles.” Or “that article on procedures really helped me understand a problem.” Finally, being a regular columnist just means that I have a readership that I can reach as I grow my business or Change Lanes to the next adventure.

I had a great experience with “Abec’s Small business Review” and due to the well-written article and picture I was able to get an appointment with an Estate Planner that I have been wanting to connect with. He saw and read the article in Small Business Review and asked his Assistant if she knew who I was and that he was very interested in meeting with me. She actually knew me from a group we both volunteer with and scheduled an appointment for us all to meet. I was so pleased to finally have a chance to talk with him about how we could really help each other with our different specialties. I look forward to a mutually productive relationship. Thanks so much for your help in making it happen!!

My experience with Patrick Abec and the Small Business Review has been delightful! From our first personal interview, to the publishing of my story and columns, Patrick has been extremely professional, respectful, prompt, and organized, yet always with a warmth and caring that characterizes the best business people. The review itself is a wonderful and important publication, as it showcases the efforts and impressive achievements of our local small business owners. I intend to continue my affiliation with this great service for a long time to come. Thank you Patrick.
