What my
clients are saying about me
Excuse me while we get on the podium and indulge in a little
modesty. I'm ecstatic that others have taken to blowing my
trumpet. Believe me, I don't 'sell myself' well — just
the products and services of my clients. So I'm off the hook
there, then.
Here’s a selection of my favourite client
testimonials:
|
 |
Sales are up
"A professional, swift service was provided from the outset. The copy that was written added the sparkle necessary to target those tricky marginal sales! All copy followed exactly to the brief provided and a lot of time was clearly invested in the preparation of the work. A perfect all-round package."
UPDATE: "Hi Tracey. Early signs are good! At least one order a day so far and each one has been for more than one product."

Money well spent
"Tracey came recommended to me by another coach and writer. As networkers, we all know the power of referral.
I found Tracey professional in her approach but remains very human. I have bought some of her products - webcopywriting secrets and newsletter copywriting - which is packed full of useful and insightful tricks of her trade and her professional knowledge and experience in doable chunks.
She always responds back quickly, efficiently and personally. Based on one sales transaction I would definitely keep an eye out for her others which she makes clearly usuable and easily accessible for the inexperienced layman. I suspect from this that if you were to work with her one on one, it will be your money very well spent indeed and 5 thoroughly recommend her!"

Incredibly easy to work with
"Tracey did a fantastic job on the copy for my website. She made sure that she had a thorough understanding of my goals and produced dynamic, fresh copy which definitely sparkled! She also gave me some good marketing ideas, and all this well before the deadline we had agreed. She was incredibly easy to work with throughout the project, and I would recommend her without hesitation."

|
 |
Wow, I was really impressed!
"Wow I was really impressed with this [website makeover]. I've had mixed experience of other copywriters, so I am pleased with what you produced. I now feel more confident about this website... I'm thrilled. Thank you!"
|
|
 |
Exactly what I needed
"Tracey, your work was great and exactly what I needed. You not only did a great job you did it in a timely manner. I'd definitely use you again. And I will refer you to others! Many thanks!"

Friendly professionalism
“My experience of working with Tracey Dooley was one of friendly professionalism. Her work was wonderful and responses to my queries quick and comprehensive. I would recommend Tracey Dooley wholeheartedly.”
|
|
 |
Really usable and effective
“I was very impressed with the speed and efficiency of the work and feel very happy that the final drafts were really usable and effective.
Also, the [joint-venture partner] hairdresser LOVED the invitation, which I hope to get out to him next week, and I will be using the directory copy very soon.
Many thanks, Tracey!”

She knows her stuff!
"Here's a girl who knows her stuff! As a marketing professional I know good copy when I see it, and I was very pleased with the quality of Tracey's work. I also know that using the right copy can make or break your marketing efforts, so I'm very happy to recommend Tracey to anyone who wants to ensure the best possible results from their copywriting investment."

A great idea...
"Wow! That was quick! I love the PPC Ad Copy. It's a great idea, one I wouldn't have thought of using… The service you provided was extremely efficient and rates were set out clearly. And many thanks for the re-write for no extra charge; that is very kind of you… Thank you for getting this done so quickly and ahead of schedule! I’m happy!"

Excellent
"The web copy was great – you did an excellent job.Thanks for your assistance and clarity, you have a way with words which captured my attention from the offset. Keep up your good work and I will not hesitate to recommend or use you in the future. Thanks."

Great value & a worthy investment
“Wow - YOU HAVE BEEN BUSY! Many thanks for your hard work - there is a lot there isn't there! This copy was as perfect - such an improvement – thanks! You have certainly managed to revamp my web page text. The critique was also very informative, of great value and an eye-opener. A worthy investment.”

I like it!
“Hi Tracey, I like it!! I'm very excited to see if the results!” |

Extremely
happy
"Our client was extremely happy
with the branding and packaging copy you created,
and so were we! Five out of five all round. We will be using you again."

Very
impressive!
"Don't be put off by the slick
marketing. Tracey Dooley
is very good at what she does. Fastidious, meticulous,
fussy, nit-picking, rigorous, and a real stickler
for detail — she'd never let us get away with
writing a sentence like this! I'd have no hesitation
in recommending her to any editor, and indeed already
have. Very impressive!"
|
|
 |
Wow,
you're good!
”Great service! I think the
information you gave [in the critique] was so beneficial
and has helped me focus my new plans for the site. It
is a good objective view ...Something I had been looking
for, for a while. I love your ideas — I saw that
you really understood where I was coming from and my
business. Wow, you're good!"
|
|
 |
I found the best!
“Excellent work. I read every e-mail [of yours] twice to make sure that I [was] working with [a] professional – everything was perfect, so I knew that I [had] found the best. You made a lot of creative comments and I’ve accepted all of them. [You offer] the best support possible.”
|
|
 |
Very good – I'm thrilled
“Very good review. You showed me what I was doing right as well as where I need help. I agree with everything you said – I'm thrilled!”

Chuffed
to bits
"I wanted to say how helpful
the copy critique has been. It's made me think in a
new way about what I say. So it's helped me on a few
different levels, really. I find myself thinking of
phrases to use when I chat instead of just words. It's
been hard to re-write the copy, but I can see the value
in following your suggestions...I am nearly finished
and I am chuffed to bits with how it sounds. I think
you are very diplomatic in your approach in making suggestions,
and I thank you for that. Thanks again, Tracey."

We
certainly would recommend MediaMinister
”The work Tracey did for us
was thorough, detailed, extremely professional and,
even though Tracey was given very short notice, she
met with our tight deadlines. We certainly would recommend
MediaMinister services…”
|

|
 |
All
round...fantastic!
“The service I received was
timely, professional, consistent and clear. The editing
reflected a thorough response to the material presented,
which provided me with an opportunity for further reflection
and thought. All round…fantastic!”

Thanks
for doing a top-notch job
“I have worked with Tracey
Dooley on a variety of sub-editing projects and she
has been a regular member of our team on Men’s
Fitness and will continue to be. Her friendly nature
and dedicated professionalism make her a pleasure to
work with, and Tracey’s strict attention to detail
is, in her own words, ‘down to having an almost
unnatural obsession with words and accuracy’!
Needless to say, she doesn’t shy away from hard
work. Thanks, Tracey, for doing a top-notch job. Keep
up the good work.”

Superb
”Another superb and excellent
effort… I really like your style… You have
some really fresh ideas.”

On
my A-list — I'd definitely recommend Tracey
“Tracey Dooley has worked
with us on many occasions now - often at very short
notice. Ours is an extremely fast-paced working environment,
but Tracey always gets stuck in…She's been equally
able to turn her hand to subbing [copy-editing and
proofreading] true-life stories, fashion, beauty,
food, homes, celeb interviews and puzzles. She has
picked up both our working system and unique down-to-earth
style very quickly. Most importantly, Tracey is a
pleasure to work with — crucial in such a busy
department! She gets on really well with all kinds
of people, joins in office banter — but still
knows when to 'get her head down' if the pressure's
on. I initially booked Tracey as a 'friend of a friend'
- which can sometimes backfire! But in this case,
I'm delighted to have found another excellent freelance
sub to keep on my A-list. I'd definitely recommend
Tracey to anyone.”

Brilliant
"I found the service to be prompt, accurate, informative and to the point with no jargon — brillant. Also, it was (obviously) well written! I wish I could afford to have you write all my marketing materials from scratch — maybe next year! Keep up the good work."
