Bill Brookes is chairman of leading estate agency DB Roberts, which has offices in Wolverhampton, Cannock, Halesowen and Stafford.
He said: "We have been advertising in the Express and Star Wolverhampton edition for over 40 years and we advertised in the first edition of the Shropshire Star and we have supported it ever since. It's important to DB Roberts and Partners that we maintain a presence in the newspapers.
"It maintains our profile and it satisfies the clients wish their property should be advertised in a medium where people are going to see it.
"When we decided we needed to recruit some more staff we turned first of all to the Express and Star to support that and we were very impressed by the multi media approach that they adopted and the flexibility that they demonstrated which gave us a really good result.
"As with everything in all industries there's been tremendous change particularly over the last five or ten years and we found that the Star has been far more flexible in terms of how it deals with advertising, particularly across several media.
"It's still the case that when the weeklies come out the phone lines light up."
Dudley College principal Lowell Williams said: "The main benefit of advertising with the Express & Star is it is the local paper. It is the local media, it's the media which everybody understands. We use the Express & Star in lots of different ways. For example if we're looking for local people to take local jobs here at the college the Express & Star is the perfect vehicle to get the information about the jobs out to the local community.
"We often have a very positive response from a single advert. I think that's because we have a long relationship with the Express & Star and we develop a relationship with the readers of all the materials. Will Peel is the marketing manager of Benham Wolverhampton. He explains how advertising Benham's with Expressandstar.com works for his business.
When his BMW and Mini dealership wants to reach its target local audience, he knows where to go – Expressandstar.com is a major part of Benham's promotional plan.
He said: "I would recommend advertising with Expressandstar.com. It's flexible, traceable, local and very good to deal with." Louise Burns, MNA advertising director, said: "The Star's advertising team can help local businesses reach their target audience first time.
"Whether it is in print or online, the Express & Star is read and respected by people living in the region, making it the ideal platform to drive response from local customers."
