Comments From Converts
Below are comments from Newspapers that
have switched to Shoom after having had firsthand experience
with the service, technology and functionality of
other electronic tearsheet providers.
Jerry Fuhrmeister, Advertising
Product Manager at the Philadelphia Inquirer
and Philadelphia Daily News, said: "The
greatest benefit about converting to Shoom is that now my
major advertisers have one stop shopping for all of their
tearsheets needs. The support staff at Shoom, have been some
of the most supportive and professional people I have
encountered in the industry. From our sales team
perspective, to be able to have access to other publications
has proven invaluable for sales ideas. Shoom has proven to
be a very cost effective vendor. We are extremely happy that
we made the move."

Rich Hunz, National Advertising
Director at the San
Jose Mercury News said: “We couldn’t wait to
get converted over to Shoom and our advertisers are very
happy that we made the move. The Shoom search engine
is far more intuitive than our previous supplier offered and
in making the switch, we now have the ability to search
through any newspaper in the Shoom network nationwide.
This feature, which is unique to Shoom, allows us to
identify and seek out incremental revenue opportunities that
we would otherwise know nothing about.
“On the service
side, Shoom’s response to any and all of our needs has been
outstanding from the top down. This company is all
about providing superior search functionality for our
newspapers and advertisers and their service is second to
none.”

Joe Kelleher
Production Director for the San Jose Mercury News said:
“I have had the unique experience of being able to run both Shoom and our previous vendor’s
electronic tearsheet product side by side. From that
very interesting, unusual and unique perspective and I can
say that Shoom’s features, functionality and support is
vastly superior to that of our previous vender. While
both products were running parallel to one another I
surveyed our advertising, production and IT departments and
asked them all one simple question `If you had to choose one
company and service over the other which one would you
choose?´ The response was unanimous – they all chose Shoom.
“From a flexibility, customer service and
relationship perspective I can
attest
that Shoom has never disappointed me.
Unfortunately, I cannot say the same was true with our
previous supplier. The icing on the cake is the fact
that Shoom has also delivered much greater efficiencies and
cost savings to our infrastructure than our previous vendor
was ever able to provide.”

Greg Mazanec,
Vice President of Advertising and Marketing at the
St. Paul Pioneer Press said: “The
conversion to Shoom from our previous vendor was so seamless
and easy that it actually was a nonevent. Everything
went very smoothly, which was not the case when we
originally went through the setup process with our previous
supplier. The feedback from our advertisers is all
very positive! I always like it when I can get a
better product, cheaper!”

Pam Weisbrod, Prepress Operations
Manager at the St. Paul Pioneer Press said:
Converting over to Shoom from our previous vendor was very
easy and everyone is very happy with the switch. Shoom
is much easier to work with, setting up new advertisers is
much easier and the search engine is far more intuitive.
We are very happy that we made the switch to Shoom.”
