 What a Few of Our Advertisers Are Saying:

“Vertex Water Features, along with several of our lake aeration/floating fountain distributors, have been long time advertisers in both Pond Boss magazine and on the Pond Boss website. Both the print and web-based advertising Vertex does with Pond Boss has brought about not only increased sales, but also long term relationships and repeat business. Pond Boss is an outstanding resource for lead generations thanks to the constant supply of pond owners that become "hooked" on all the valuable information provided in the magazine and on-line forum.”

“We have been advertising with Pond Boss Magazine for many years now and have been pleased with the results! We ask every new customer where they heard about us and often the response is “Pond Boss Magazine”.  When we first started with Pond Boss, they were primarily a southern magazine, but from the calls we get, its obvious that the readership has spread throughout the country. This is appealing to us since we distribute products nationwide. We look forward to our continued relationship!"
