we produce advertising that works!

“Berwick on the Lake has been advertising with the WellnessNews since 2018. What we really like about this publication is the amount of coverage that we receive. Being a short, quick read is appealing to people and we have received comments from people saying that they saw our ad in the publication. Teresa is a joy to deal with and always very professional and helpful. I recommend the WellnessNews publication to any business looking to increase top of mind awareness in an affordable way.”
Kristine Newman, Community Relations Manager, Berwick on the Lake Retirement Community
