Four Season Consulting is co-opting this blog.

I originally started this blog just to share my experiences and see what other people thought of Four Season Consulting. Apparently, they found my review on the internet, and asked them to run this blog for them - collecting feedback and sending it to them. SO PLEASE NOTE, IF YOU LEAVE A FEEDBACK COMMENT FOR FOUR SEASON CONSULTING, THEY WILL SEE IT.

Four Season Consulting Feedback/Review

Four Season Consulting Feedback/Review

This blog is for feedback of customers who have used a service from Four
Season Consulting. I personally hired them for grant writing and a radio
ad. I'm 6 months into my grant at the moment, and the radio ad turned out
great. Here's my experiences:

Getting The Grant: I've got a shelter for handicapped and mentally ill
people. It's generally a temporary place where they can stay before
joining a state program. The shelter, Community Shelter, has been around
for 9 years. But since the recession, I've been having trouble getting
donations. I found Four Season Consulting and figured I'd give them a
try. They found several(!) foundations willing to fund me. However, this
might be partially to do with the fact that the amount I was asking for
is fairly small - only $50,000. I'm 6 months into the grant program now,
and things are really looking up for the shelter. We've been nearly
overcrowded lately, with all the people coming in due to the recession.
But thanks to Four Season Consulting, we're at least able to keep our
doors open.

Radio Ad: I needed an ad to help us get a decent flow of donations again. Unfortunately, I didn't know who to turn to get one. When I talked to
Four Season Consulting, they told me they did radio ads, and that I could
bundle it with the grant. I did just that and requested a very specific radio ad. I didn't really care how the voice came out so long as it was clear, but I wanted very specific music. I asked for a delicate violin playing something reminiscent of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata to a jazz style beat. Amazingly, Four Season Consulting's sound team did just that. The voiceover was very professional as well. Indeed, I'm fairly certain I've heard him before on national commercials.

Well, those are my experiences with Four Season Consulting. Please share yours. I just ask that you be a REAL customer of Four Season Consulting. Please no fakes.
