Our Reviews

Our business has advertised in the Town Planner for many years. Each year we get better results. People contact us by simply seeing us advertised on the website. However, being on the calendar has really done wonders for us. If you want local, repeat business you can't lose by utilizing this option. And the owner will work with you and your budget to get the most bang for your buck.

We have been advertising with Town Planner for the past three years and just renewed for another two! Town Planner gives us one of the better returns on our investment out of all the advertising we have tried. We purchase ads in the Town Planner Calendars, but I like that they place our coupons on their website, too. Stacy is great to work with and I recommend Town Planner for any business owner in Northwest Indiana that wants to grow their business.

Stacy has always been a pleasure to work with over the 10+ years we have been partners. We recommend giving her a try to help increase the exposure of your business.

Town Planner gives you so much information and more. I find it to be a valuable tool both online and offline. The community calendar is always hanging close by for my family to view and the coupons are great to use at so many different places. The website is my “go to” when looking for events in NWI communities. I have also found great value in featured events for job openings. Thank you for making this easy to use. Keep it up!

Great place to get information on things to do in Northwest Indiana! Keep you up to date on events for the whole family year round.

Town Planner of NWI has been great to work with in promoting our family business. The whole team is truly invested in the success of our business. They are turnkey and provide superior service long after the contract is signed. I look forward to including them in our marketing plan for many years to come.

Munster Parks has been a partner w/ Town Planner for a number of years. Stacy is the epitome of perfect customer service: quick to respond, easy to work with, goes above and beyond to post programs/events or give updated stats and the list goes on. You will not regret working with Town Planner to increase your exposure to your local communities. Thank you for all you do.

The Town Planner has been a tremendous partner not only for promoting our local Italian Fest but also our banquets and events business at Villa Cesare. Stacy puts together detailed plans of actions with several advertising/promotional elements and provides analytics pre and post campaigns. Stacy goes above and beyond by actively placing our upcoming community events on the Town Planner e-calendar without having to send her the events first. I highly recommend working with the Town Planner of NWI to promote your business or broadcast your event!

The Town Planner has been our advertising partner for seven years now and the impact it has on business is invaluable. The calendar and online coupons come in daily and we’ve had great success in hiring with the help of their social media job postings. Working with Stacy is always a pleasure, as she is organized and always quick to respond. Whether you are a local business in need of advertising solutions or a local resident looking for an event in town, I highly recommend the town planner!

We have been with the Town Planner since 2019 and have had great success bringing in Customers with our Ad/Coupon. Stacy is Great to work with and is always there to assist in a timely manner. So Glad to hear The Town Planner has now expanded to Winfield.

The Town Planner has been a part of our advertising plan for five years and counting. Their calendar and online coupons have been a big part of our success. Stacy will go way out of her way to promote our business via social media and we really appreciate that. I would highly recommend the town planner to any business located in Northwest Indiana!

I've been using the Town Planner for 15 yrs for my restaurants and I see our customers using the coupons all year long from the calendar and the website!!! I highly recommend this source of advertising as it has constantly brought in business to my establishments!!!

I reached out to the Town Planner with some questions about promoting the Alt Country band Whiskey Thomas in the NWI region. The level of customer service was outstanding! Stacy Travis provides a level of care to her customers similar to a general store clerk in the heartland of American memory. The event creator was very user friendly and the personal follow up was top notch. I'd recommend this platform to anyone looking for classic customer service and an effective outreach to their community. Well done Stacy!

Working with the Town Planner has been extremely beneficial for Dyer Parks & Recreation. The amount of additional coverage, extra program & event posts and friendly staff have made continuing to work with the Town Planner very easy. Stacy always goes above and beyond!

The Town Planner of NWI is an AMAZING resource that I strongly recommend for both local businesses and NWI residents! As a small business owner, I have worked with their team to advertise past events and to promote our business. The Town Planner staff is incredibly hardworking, motivated and detailed oriented. Advertising with the platform has a huge impact. As a NWI resident and parent, I often turn to The Town Planner of NWI for upcoming events in NWI communities. The website is a great resource to stay up-to-date on NWI events and happenings. Keep up the great work!!! 5 stars!!!

We are so thankful for NWI Town Planner! We own Eye Designs Family Optical and the Town Planner posted a job opening for us, and within a week we hired a new employee to join our work family! It is tough hiring new employees nowadays but Town Planner made the process so easy! Thank You!

Have been working with town planner for 15 years best advertising in area!

Stacy and her team literally go above and beyond! I'm the Recreation Director for Schererville Parks and we've been partnering with Town Planner for a few years now. There isn't anyone who can compare to the value, customer experience and the results they give than Town Planner of NWI. Everything that we've advertised through them has seen a minimum Increase in participation by 30%. If you haven't partnered with them, you're missing out. It's a MUST!!!

I love having access to Nwi-Town Planner. They are so helpful in finding out what events are going on in the region! Rather it be a farmers market, car show, or music; they have the info on something for everyone. It’s nice to have one site to go to that includes the different local areas, dates, and interests! It helps me to plan outings for my family throughout the year and also when family comes in town. I follow them on Facebook, Instagram, and subscribe to the emails. They’re like the savvy friend that knows about everything going on in the area.

Love getting all kinds of info emailed to me about what's going on in NWI. Also love seeing it posted on Facebook to remind me of the upcoming fun!

Great information about everything happening in Northwest Indiana as well as job postings! Very informative.

Stacy has been wonderful to work with. Our programs are getting a lot more visibility thanks to the Town Planner.
