Testimonials

Clarksville (TN) Leaf-Chronicle…

"Wally Burchett is a newspaper veteran who understands today’s media environment and the challenges faced by publishers. This experience is reflected in the efficiency and productivity he brings to his church page business model.

He won our account by offering a much better return on the business than our previous vendor. And he showed us simple but effective ways to improve the content and presentation of our Church Pages, which had gotten pretty stale over the years.

Based on The Leaf-Chronicle’s successful transition, I highly recommend Burchett Media as a Church Page vendor and partner."

"There are three big reasons I'm glad we chose Burchett Media for our church directory sales.

1. Wally took our church directory revenue from zero in July 2012 to $38,000 over the last 12 months.

2. He isn't just selling space. He is a former newspaper publisher who believes deeply in the power of print and he believes in the benefit that church directories bring to the people who advertise on them.

3. I appreciate the respectful way Wally approaches our customers and the care he takes to make sure he represents The News-Star as if it were his own newspaper."

The Times Argus

"Wally Burchett has done an amazing job for our weekly newspaper, increasing our income from church page ads more than 20-fold--yes, that's right, 20-fold .

Wally is a very hands-on type of salesman, who set up shop here at our office and didn't leave until he had transformed our church page into something we were all very proud of.

I have never met anyone so dedicated and passionate about their work. It is almost like he is on a mission. I would give him the highest possible recommendation.

Wally has done such an outstanding job with the church page, we even have customers coming to us, asking to be included."

West Louisiana Group

"Burchett Media was the best decision our West Louisiana newspaper group has made.

Wally was truly on top of his game when it came to revamping our tired, ineffective black & white church pages.

Not only is it now aesthetically pleasing to the eye with a full color format, but revenue has increased tremendously as well.

When Wally arrived, the six church directories were generating $4,590 in a 26 week cycle.
Upon his departure the six church directories now generate $38,324.

This represents an increase of 735%!

In addition to the increased revenue, Wally’s customer service is impeccable.

He truly brought excitement to the organization. Both our customers and readers have a renewed passion for the group’s church directories.

Want to increase your church page revenue?

Call me personally.

I will emphatically and without hesitation, recommend Burchett Media."
