Gleysteen Design LLC
The Boston Design Guide has been a terrific resource both for our clients and ourselves. Although most of our clients come to us through word of mouth, the Boston Design Guide has enabled many potential clients to find us or provide an immediate reference for those who may know our name but not our work. The Guide has high editorial standards and does not dilute the quality of its content, allowing us to present our story and work amidst worthy competitors. We are gratified to see the Boston Design Guide prominently displayed in bookstores and show rooms, especially when we are on the cover. We look forward to working with the Boston Design Guide for the next issue.
– Marcus Gleysteen, A.I.A.
Fallon Custom Homes & Renovations
Our clients at Fallon Development have high expectations for their construction projects. They tell us they chose Fallon Development because of our 25 plus years of experience and extensive knowledge of the construction business. We also take an extra step with our clients by using a marketing consultant to get ongoing feedback throughout the entire project. Our customers are given an exit poll to offer us their view of our work.
At Fallon Development we feel we not only design a living space for our clients, but a lifestyle as well. Boston Design Guide is a great source for the entire building industry. Having a presence in the guide is a great opportunity to showcase our work with other quality professionals, putting us in contact with the demographic we want to reach.
Richard C. Rigoli & Company, Inc.
The Boston Design Guide is by far the best source of Boston talent there is. Others have tried and failed numerous times to publish a high quality resource guide. People talk to me all the time about finding sources and Boston Design Guide is an excellent forum for me to display my work. Melanie really does find the best talent in Boston and does an excellent job of producing the magazine.
–Richard Rigoli, President of Richard C. Rigoli & Co., Inc.
Back Bay Shutter
Sifting through the almost overwhelming design publications and deciding which is the best way to spend our advertising dollars can be tedious. Investing in Boston Design Guide magazine year after year has proven to be the right choice in solidifying existing relationships and providing us new business opportunities.
Back Bay Shutter Co., Inc. continues to set the industry standard, and has finally found a local design magazine that functions at the same level of excellence.
–Steve Kontoff, President, Back Bay Shutter Co., Inc.
