Advertiser Testimonial - Heritage Bank

---

From 14 convenient locations in Thurston, Pierce, South King, and Mason counties, Heritage Bank offers a full consumer product line as well as unique solutions for businesses. We just celebrated our 80th anniversary and we pride ourselves on building a balanced community bank that our clients can depend on for their financial needs. We are continuously improving and looking for ways to better serve our market, which has lead to new products such as SBA and agricultural lending.

The Business Examiner has proven to be a great tool to reach our target market of business professionals on a bi-weekly basis. We utilize each issue to promote our people and their business relationships in our Profiles in Excellence series. We feel it is important for Heritage Bank to focus on our team and the relationships we have with our clients, they are the reason for our success. We get excellent feedback on our advertising from our team and their clients, and receive requests from other business customers to be featured in our Profiles in Excellence series. We see it as an exciting opportunity to build on existing relationships.

The Business Examiner does an excellent job of recognizing local businesses and professionals for their accomplishments and takes the opportunity to highlight these achievements with special publications and events. The events in turn give the sponsors a chance to show their support for the business community and advertise in front of local leaders and businesses. We are proud to support BE events as a sponsor.

We recommend advertising with the Business Examiner, they produce a high quality, highly respected business publication that is well received by the South Sound business community. The BE is an excellent and affordable way to reach business prospects and promote business clients and services.
