Partnering with Eclectic PR not only met but exceeded my expectations, leading to an astounding 300 percent increase in sales. 

From the outset, Eclectic PR demonstrated an unparalleled understanding of my industry and a keen insight into the dynamics of my target market. Eclectic PR was instrumental in developing a marketing plan that included relaunch of my inaugural book and wrapping a brand around my Love Blossoms series. 

One of the key elements that set Eclectic PR apart was their ability to identify and leverage what made my book series unique. The impact of Eclectic PR's efforts on our sales cannot be overstated. With the recommended changes to my website, I’ve seen continued increase in traffic and an increasing number of loyal readers.
