I've had a love/hate relationship with the idea of including testimonials on my site. Since I work with marketers, I'm well aware of the value of testimonials. In fact, it's rare I do any type of direct market design project without including some. But for my own site, there's always still that little part of me that thinks, "Don't go around tooting your own horn!"

The truth is, most of my new business comes through word-of-mouth from existing clients. In fact, I've had some clients who, I later found, have never even visited this site prior to hiring me (or after for that matter), such was the power of a kind word spoken on my behalf. Quite humbling to say the least.

I'm very fortunate not only to receive continual work from my clients - which are testimonials in themselves - but also to enjoy great working relationships with them. Life's too short to have tense working relationships with clients. (And clients don't get any thrill out of it either.) So part of my mission beyond delivering a project is to be easy to work with.

Because of these long-term relationships, I've developed a great deal of respect for my clients and colleagues beyond their obvious business skills...they also happen to be extremely nice people. And the fact that they'd take time out of their busy schedules to write a short testimonial on my behalf is, again, humbling.

Without a doubt, dependable, thorough and precise in his work is an understatement. He is proud of the work that he performs and he has every right to be. I have had the distinct pleasure of working on many a project with him in the past and would do so again without hesitation.The selfless contributions that he has given to his community, the way he conducts his business is something all the rest of us should learn from. It is my honor to be considered a colleague of Mike's.

Whenever I send a project to Klassen Communications, I can relax because I know it is in his hands and it will come out right and timely. Every project he has handled for us has been a success to our subscribers and outside files. He is our graphics go-to guy.

In this complicated business of internet marketing there are many facets and services which are absolute necessities in order to achieve success. I have learned very quickly to depend on those who are true craftsmen in what they do. I have a terrific copywriter in Eileen Coale, who, in turn, recommended Klassen Communications for all my brochure and sell sheet designs and layouts. I was astounded at how quickly Mike grasped what I needed. He is easy to work with and very reasonable. Being a former copywriter himself, Mike understands like nobody else how copy and design are integrated.
His services have been invaluable to me. I trust his opinion without reservation.

Thanks Mike - as always, it’s a pleasure working with you - I always know my job is going to go smooth when you are on the project. The designs are clear, crisp and exactly what my audience responds to. It seems you study my prospects as much as my copywriters!

Mike Klassen does exceptional graphic work. He delivered the project on time and was quite patient with working with the vision I had in mind for my e-book. In addition, he also has a great eye as to what will catch the prospect's attention. I will definitely use his services again!"

Finding competent graphic designers you can always count on in this business is tough! I have had the wonderful opportunity to work with Mike at KLASSEN COMMUNICATIONS on a variety of projects over the past few years. He is the person that I KNOW I can count on when I need help. His software knowledge is untouchable as is his desire to meet deadlines, do top notch work and keep projects on budget. I admire his "teamplayer" mentality--it is so refreshing. The success of my business is due to the talent of people like Mike.
