"I just wanted to drop you a note to tell you that having a web page with EcoMall has been both a wise and fruitful investment. Almost everyone that calls, having seen the page, has bought an Austin Healthmate of one kind or another. The pages paid for itself within the first 2 months and now all the sales since are helping to grow my business. I might mention also that because of my web page with you I was contacted by a very large company based overseas; they didn't buy air filters however, we have been negotiating a very large water filter deal, which could mean a very handsome income for my company.All in all I am exceptionally pleased and grateful that I have a page with EcoMall and can honestly recommend your site without reservation.You're doing a great service to the planet and all who visit and use this wonderful resource. Thanks for putting such an innovative idea together, it's a great thing you're doing!"
All the best,
