What Clients Say About Our Services…

“I have been a Warm Thoughts client for 20 years. They handle every aspect of our company’s marketing strategy — print, web, social media, vehicle design, advertising, direct mail. They have an unmatched knowledge of our business. They have a great team, and do a terrific job of bringing new ideas to our company, and executing for us. I would highly recommend Warm Thoughts to anyone in the heating oil, propane or HVAC business.”
– David O’Connell, Wilson Oil & Propane

“Warm Thoughts has been a great partner for all of our marketing efforts. They’ve rebuilt three websites for us, all of which we’ve seen a wonderful improvement on. They’ve composed successful direct mail campaigns, email marketing campaigns, digital campaigns, and have provided countless hours of superb consulting support. As one of the largest suppliers of fuel oil and propane in our area, while also maintaining several smaller, separate COD oil companies, we have worked with them on small and large projects, all of which have been completed to our satisfaction. Richard has tons of industry advice and overall knowledge to share, and Michele our account supervisor is always helpful and timely. Warm Thoughts is a great company to work with, staffed with good people who produce excellent results.”
– Rick Bottini, president, Bottini Fuel, Wappingers Falls, NY

“We have worked with Warm Thoughts Communications for more than 10 years. The custom newsletters they create for us have been an excellent vehicle to communicate with our customers, increase sales and develop loyalty. Their expert development and management of our website has allowed us to concentrate our efforts on other aspects of our business. They handle our reputation management online, and new customers frequently mention the online reviews as the primary reason our customers contacted us. Rich Goldberg, Michele Asfalg and the entire team at Warm Thoughts understands our marketing needs and have been an instrumental part of the growth of our business in the past decade.”
– Jeff Jennings, president, Jennings Oil, Danbury, CT

“We began working with Warm Thoughts a couple of years back when we purchased a group of propane/heating oil companies in the Northeast. As a Texas-based energy company, we had no marketing experience in heating oil and HVAC service, or in the customer demographic of that part of the country. The Warm Thoughts team was able to quickly get us up to speed and help us develop a strategy to market these businesses. After successfully building out a series of websites and social pages, and managing all of our digital campaigns and customer communications, it became clear to us that they were a true asset… so much so that we invited them to take over all of our marketing including our large propane business in Texas, and for all of the acquisitions we are moving forward with throughout the southern region. We consider them to be a true partner and a key to our success.”
– Casey Wuan, Vice President, Meritum Energy Holdings, San Antonio, TX

“Thanks for all of your hard work running the FMA member customer service and sales training sessions. The attendance was strong and the feedback very positive. The advice you offered to the customer retention challenge we face today was on point and attendees could readily implement in their operations the next day. It was also great to be able to take the successes of our North Jersey experience and expand it into South Jersey. Overall, we are quite pleased with the results and feel that this engagement has been a great investment of our training dollars.”
— Eric DeGesero, Fuel Merchants Association of New Jersey

“We have chosen to work with Warm Thoughts for the better part of 20 years. Warm Thoughts has always been ahead of the curve and we have found the communication between us and our customers to be informative and rewarding.

She understands our challenges and adjusts to our changing needs. All in all, working with Warm Thoughts has been one of our best decisions.”

And the results have been very strong.”

“Warm Thoughts handles our online marketing. Their work generates strong online results and the team is always pleasant and professional to work with. They keep our website fresh and up to date, they write interesting blog posts that drive more traffic to our site, and they measure everything they do.

They have been creative, professional and above all have given us measurable results for our investment.

“We love working with you guys! You make it so easy to create and publish our customer newsletter. But more importantly, our customers love receiving our newsletter. As you know, we had stopped producing one for a few years, but we realized we had made a mistake when customers started calling us and asking why we weren’t sending it out anymore. Not only have we gotten excellent feedback from our customers, but we’ve sold products because of it. It’s been a strong lead generator for us and the sales we generate more than cover the cost to create the newsletter. Thanks for all that you do!”
– Wanda Niedbala, Medway Oil & Propane, Medway, MA
