Client Testimonials
American Sports Media
"Thanks again for all your services. My response rates are up, my reports are more informative and my overall business is substantially more organized, efficient and profitable. Not only did you help our business I learned more about circulation in the time you worked with us than I have in the last ten years. Thanks again and I’m looking forward to working with you in the future."
Boston Society of Architects
"I have worked with Lou Ann Sabatier over the past several years. Her knowledge of the publishing industry is expansive and her energy and enthusiasm infectious. Her research and recommendation have helped our magazine grow and prosper (even during difficult publishing times)."
Ducks Unlimited
"Sabatier Consulting Group skips the fluff, gets down to business, tells it like it is and produces result-oriented solutions. They are a professional, hard working group with high energy."
Louisiana Cookin’
"We used Sabatier Consulting to put a program together for us to increase our circulation. Their program, for the most part, has been implemented and already we are increasing our renewal rate. Because of their overall expertise in the publishing industry, we will come back for more as we grow."
Guide to Retirement Living
"Hiring Sabatier Consulting is the best business decision I have made in my lifetime! They were invaluable in turning my entrepreneurial vision into a legitimate publishing enterprise. I would still be working out of my basement if I didn’t have the good fortune of working with them."
Wood Design & Building
"Sabatier Consulting was invaluable in the launch of our magazine. They helped identify the readership, editorial content and the potential support of advertisers. But, more importantly, they kept our expectations realistic by offering practical, straight-up advice."
U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance
"Sabatier Consulting saved our organization $5 million and at least four years by performing a due diligence evaluation of a magazine property that was offered as a contribution to our organization. Having literally no background in the publishing business, we were at a loss, but at least were smart enough to know what we didn’t know! Lou Ann Sabatier did know – plenty. Rather than absorb the subscriber liability for a property that was failing, we saved ourselves years of headaches."
The Washington Post
"I enjoyed your (2 day) publishing seminar. You are very knowledgeable and you enthusiasm is contagious. Based on comments from other participants, the session met our goals."
United Methodist Communications
"…a belated thanks for all your hard work on our magazine study last year. We learned a lot and have implemented many of your suggestions. Just wanted you to know that we’re doing well and you are a big part of the reason why."
Science News
"Lou Sabatier has been a valuable resource to Science News. She carried out the most useful survey that we have done, got our content-licensing agreements in order, and has provided smart advice in many areas."
France Magazine
"If you want someone who’s a ball of energy to come in and revitalize your sales staff, sweep away your preconceived ideas, and create a new sales strategy, call on Lou Ann Sabatier and her team of consultants. They impressed me with their professionalism, kindness, patience and perceptiveness."
Cahaba Media Group
"Sabatier Consulting provided much needed industry expertise at a critical time for our magazine. They quickly assessed and understood our culture and gave us good advice that was readily achievable for our small firm."

Hammock Publishing
"Sabatier Consulting's ability to gather top-flight expertise within the narrow disciplines that make up the publishing world makes them an invaluable resource to our firm, which is focused on custom publishing, but more generally, on solving problems for our clients. The speed with which Sabatier works is astonishing. We've worked with their team on developing a business plan for an association client that they pulled together within five days, including a weekend. This plan is being followed to success right now."
MetroParent Magazine
"Lou Sabatier and her outstanding team of consultants did groundbreaking work which is enabling us to shift paradigms and take our company to a whole new level of business. With their expertise, we have been guided to engage in next level thinking and restructure various organizational and operational components of our company. They put us in the position to strengthen market share and seize new business opportunities."
Marine Corps League
"Sabatier Consulting did a top-to-bottom evaluation of our magazine and the results more than paid for the study. The outcome is a “new” redesigned, updated exciting magazine that will be the catalyst to re-brand this organization and set the course for long-term growth."
New Jersey Monthly, Park Place, and New Jersey Bride
“Hi! Thanks for great sessions. Your high-energy approach and humor kept us awake and the useful information kept us interested. I left with some great ideas… some on ways to do things better, and some $$-making ideas as well.”
Eastmans’ Hunting Journal, Eastmans’ Bowhunting Journal, Eastmans.com
“We have increased net profits and grown the company revenues. We have to attribute a lot of the growth and efficiencies to you and your team. For that I would personally like to thank you, again. It has helped more than you can imagine. I sat down this weekend and read your evaluation again as I do every year and compare where we were to where we are. I am happy to report we have completed about 80% of your recommendations.”
Police K-9 Magazine
"I found Sabatier Consulting on the internet when my idea of starting a magazine was in the initial stages. From my first contact with Lou Ann she has done everything she can to teach me about the magazine business and assist me in launching our publication. Lou walked me through each phase of the process and helped me develop a business plan. I have no background in magazines or publishing so Lou's insight has been invaluable. Now, five years later we have a successful title and still follow our original business plan. Lou's work has contributed greatly to the success of Police K-9 Magazine. I would recommend Sabatier Consulting to anyone in the publishing industry."
