Testimonials - Tanning Salon Owners

Lisa Simmons - Owner of Tropical Tan, West Columbia, SC

"Thanks John! I have very much enjoyed your webinar sessions and the information has been very helpful. We are currently in the process of getting set up with Gulf Management to handle the processing of our EFTs. I was doing them all by hand but only had about 12 or so (for 2 years). In the last two months, we have added another 21 EFTs and look forward to adding many more!! Thanks for your suggestions!. I look forward to reading your book and getting more valuable information. I don’t know if we are going to make it to the Ergoline show but hope to be at the Smart Tan show in October."

Testimonials - Movie Rental Franchises

Jim Barnes - Operating Partner, Midwest Entertainment

"When John Farr and I firs discussed this plan for my 4 markets I was skeptical about how much he could really do to get more bang for my marketing buck. He negotiated so much more added value, including nearly 2 million free print ad exposures, that now I'm a believer. I would recommend John to any ABF member."

Added Value John Provided: $400,000+

Midwest Entertainment holds 11 Blockbuster stores in Missouri and Arkansas


Terry Young - Director of Operations, United Texas Entertainment

"John told us what he could do with our 8 markets and frankly I didn't see how he could do everything he was planning. Because I 'opted in' on the 'franchise regional marketing' program and knew I'd be spending more (pushing my programs), I wanted to maximize my efforts are now based on radio support and a lot of the new customer count comes the 'free' spots John negotiated."

Added Value John Provided: $927,000+

United Texas Entertainment holds 21 Blockbuster stores in Western Texas and Southern Oklahoma.


Craig Van Amburgh - President of CVA Advertising & Marketing, Ltd.

"Our agency has multiple clients (including Blockbuster) in many markets. By the time we met John through the ABF, we had already heard of his success and we were interested in what he could do to enhance our media presence for Blockbuster. He worked with our media department in researching our markets, gave us a proposal for what he could do. What John accomplished shows that, no matter how efficiently an agency negotiates a radio buy, there's always room for more value-added media in radio market negotiation."
