Testimonial

Client’s Testimonial: (As published on Google AdWords Success stories - 2010)

“Google AdWords gives nearly 60% of our business return and about 85% of new acquisitions” says Nassar. Now that Google advertising is a key part of Nefsak.com marketing strategy and after trying other online advertising

programs, Nassar says: “Certainly AdWords will remain as our major advertising tool. We will stop using it if we stop doing business.”
