Look Who’s Doing It Local!

Oct 22, 2015 Stephen Krauchick

The tooth at All Kids Dental located at 2566 Main Street made a good IMPRESSION with me when we met with them yesterday.  When I first walked in to the office I noticed right away the kid friendly waiting room and throughout the office and treatment rooms.  They really did put their money where their MOUTH is by posing for this photo !  I know this all kids dental office will set kids and parent's mind at ease of easing the fears that dental care does not have to be frightening.  They accept all insurances including Husky and they also speak Spanish and Portuguese.  It was quite apparent that they have a genuine concern for treating children and setting them…

Name An Advertisement You’ve Seen On Facebook………

Sep 22, 2015 Stephen Krauchick

A person interested in advertising called and said they were thinking of advertising with DoingItLocal or Facebook. I asked him to name one advertisement he remembers on Facebook. He couldn't think of any. Then I asked him to name one on DoingItLocal and he immediately said ServPro and Interstate. The key to advertising is to be remembered. And when his truck needed a new battery, he insisted to his mechanic that it be an Interstate! Don't be lost in the crowd. Advertise LOCALLY and support your local news reporter!
