Thank you for all of your help.
Soon after starting Mason Autobody LLC in 2019,
I was approached by Lisa who thought we could
benefit from some local advertising. At first, I was
skeptical about using funds for ads in the newspaper.
But Lisa opened us up to a whole new level of
advertising and marketing through the online ads
and the beautiful ads that her and the team create
for our business. Since starting with Lisa, we have
definitely received nothing but positive feedback
from the ads. Thanks Lisa for all that you do!
