“We’ve gotten so many compliments on our skirt! ads, as well as new patients mentioning that’s where they saw it. It’s been great feedback for us. We even had a patient ask about advertising with skirt! and if we saw results—of course the answer was yes! Robin Washington Park West Dentistry
“As a new home furnishings store we have enjoyed working with skirt! to grow our business. We have fun with our ad space and have received a great reaction from our target market. Women come into the store quite often and mention that they have seen our ad. skirt! also reaches out to see if we have products that might work with their monthly theme and features them in the content pages which creates more visibility and buzz for the store! Lauren Still Lyndon Leigh
“I’ve worked with skirt! for the past three years and have been very pleased with the results. The skirt! team takes the basic layout I provide and creates eye-catching ads ready for print. After looking into other print publications for advertising, I would rank skirt! among the highest of similar style publications in Charleston in terms of readership, circulation, and overall interest. I would de�nitely recommend skirt! for advertising to any locally driven business.” Mark Bastian Charleston Estate Sales
“To say that our experience with skirt! has been excellent would be an understatement!” Carrie King Vixen Vodka
“Our relationship with skirt! has been terri�c. The staff has been very supportive in the opening of our business and instrumental in the development of our target audience.”Jeff and Steve 34 West
“When I introduce myself as owning Pate Properties Inc, people invariably say, ‘I saw your ad in skirt! I love it.’ Whether it is a theme-based institutional ad for Pate Properties or an ad highlighting a particular real estate listing, I receive phone calls and compliments with every issue...I advertise in skirt! every month because I believe it works.”Melaina C. Pate Pate Properties
“As a local nonpro�t, our advertising budget is traditionally slim & every dollar counts. For many years, skirt! magazine has been on our short list of publications. The clients & audience of the C4W are working women and we know the readers of skirt! align with our mission— to create more economic success for women in South Carolina!”Leigh Ann Garrett Center For Women
“It’s no secret that where you allocate your advertising dollars has a huge impact on the success of your business. Having advertised in skirt! for many years, we could not be happier with the response from patients—current and new—as well as the support of the skirt! staff. One of our largest advertising referrals, hearing a patient say ‘I saw it in skirt! ,’ is no strange occurrence at DLCC.” Jennie Fiechtl Dermatology & Laser Center of Charleston
“We get comments all the time from customers that have seen our ad in skirt! Most of them say skirt! is their “go to” for �nding newly opened boutiques, restaurants, etc... We love advertising in skirt! ”Wesley Kennedy Henry & Eva
