Business Testimonials

John Chiv did a remarkable job helping get our new business into the public eye.  He really opened our eyes to new marketing possibilities, and got the phone ringing immediately. I’ve received many new calls (and new customers!) from the articles he wrote about Cutting Edge Tree Service. Even though the articles were published several months ago, I still hear people talking about it. Thank you John!-- Erik Tjossem, owner, Cutting Edge Tree Service

John Chiv is an old school news-gatherer in an age when traditional media outlets fail the public.  Relying on more than press releases and fax machines, Chiv cultivates a wide range of sources, dependable leads--capturing the attention of locals that want to know what's going on! -- Anthony Mantova, owner Mantova's Two Street Music

John wrote an article about Redwood Tech Guy and it was very well written and made the phone ring immediately. Since then John has been writing my Facebook posts. John knows how to word a post so as to get the best response from people. If you need something written, John is the one to do it. John also helped me to organize an event at The Wine Spot to promote my business. Everyone that showed up scheduled an appointment with me. I like the way John partners businesses for success--The Redwood Tech Guy

"John, the same day the article appeared the phone kept ringing, regulars and new customers mentioned seeing your article and I am very grateful for your support of my business"--Joe Rubio, owner, The Humboldt Café

I've seen John about Eureka for quite some time.  I've run into him at Chamber Mixers and all about town.  John is also a Cafe Nooner fan and a great customer.  One day he approached me regarding my businesses’ marketing plan.  We met over lunch at my cafe and discussed what I was doing.  John explained that he had helped a number of other local businesses.. drive new business through the door.  John impressed me immediately when he said our social media and website were fantastic and he couldn't make any suggestions as they were both that good already. John explained how he could help us. John told us to be ready for the new business as his prior work had generated new business for his clients.  John was right on and we saw an immediate boost of new business to both our locations.  I would highly recommend to any local business owner to consider contacting John Chiv and Words Worth if they are interested in driving new business through their doors!--Joe and Lorrena Filgas-owners Cafe Nooner--
