Spectrum Real Estate Services

When we originally heard that Bolchalk Frey Marketing specialized in making residential home sales more successful, we knew this was the company for us.

Their years of experience in the marketplace, and networking with the residential home building community has proved a valuable resource. We have had a profitable and successful working relationship for over 3 1/2 years. Even in these difficult times they are sensitive to the necessity for high productivity from lower budgets, and do not spend money needlessly.

We appreciate the monthly status reports which help us stay on track with what needs to be done by us, and will be done by them.

I'm sure that you will see from their archives the creativity of the graphics department, and especially Robyn Frey. This extends from major advertising campaigns to the public, to referral campaigns to residents, and broker events including catering, e-mail blast, etc.

Finally, business is about people. And that's the best part of all, everyone there is so flexible, likable, and seems to genuinely care about your property and your success.

I would be glad to answer any further questions.

As D.R. Horton's Marketing Manager, I had the pleasure of working with Bolchalk FReY Marketing for more than seven years. This full service firm is highly respected in Tucson and their reputation is well-deserved. Michael and Robyn have assembled a creative and talented team that can accommodate any scope of work.

Throughout challenging economic times, they were willing to "spin on a dime" and always provided me with solid marketing advice. I'm confident that Bolchalk FReY always gave us the "biggest bang for our buck", and they truly cared about D.R. Horton's success.

What a great relationship! I highly recommend them.

SOLON Corporation

Our alliance with Bolchalk FReY has proven to be an extraordinarily useful channel in developing our marketing, advertising and public relations goals.

Mike Bolchalk, Robyn Frey and their award-winning team demonstrated a clear understanding of our unique company and helped us create a grand opening celebration for our new manufacturing facility. Their professionalism and leadership in arranging this special event was seamless, and communication throughout the project was consistent and concise. The result was a well orchestrated public relations event that was enjoyable, newsworthy and very effective. We were very pleased to receive so many wonderful comments from our local, national and international guests. To have the capability to reach so many potential clients and visitors with such relevant information is a rare opportunity.

The Bolchalk FReY team is an agency that understands the importance of integrity in media relations. They bring energy, enthusiasm and vision to every task and their focus is always on our success.

Sears Financial Corporation

We worked with Bolchalk FReY Marketing on the creation and execution of a marketing program for a high end residential community in Marana, AZ. Their expertise in identifying and catering to our target market was apparent in the finished product which was on time, on budget and exceeded expectations.

The project team was attentive, efficient and friendly. They took our ideas and used them in a fashion that made us feel like the leader of the team, but used their expertise to showcase the ideas in an effective manner.

Our experience with Bolchalk FReY was extremely positive.

KOLD

When it comes to Bolchalk FReY Marketing three “I’s” come to my mind; these are Innovation, Integrity and Imagination. I have had the pleasure of seeing each of these I-words during my relationship with Michael Bolchalk, Robyn Frey and their staff.

I have not seen a marketing and advertising firm who gives more back to their community. Their client relationships are strong and the work done for these clients is stellar. It is a rare treat in this day to see a group of people who deserve a reputation that is beyond reproach. I am proud to be associated with them as a vendor and as a partner on various public service initiatives, boards and community organizations.

If there is anything I can do to answer any question you may have please do not hesitate to contact me.

Southern Arizona
Home Builders Association

I’m writing to you to express my appreciation to you for your services and Bolchalk FReY Marketing services to the Southern Arizona Home Builders Association (SAHBA).

As you may recall when I was hired, I was very skeptical of some of the techniques that were being proposed for housing and our Home Show. But you have made me a true believer. Things that I thought that would never have worked in the public realm have been wildly successful for our Home Show and Association. For example, the bus shelter displays you recommended. What an inexpensive way to touch many people.

The radio spots you produced with the tag line “We’re SAHBA” with the chorus of different voices in the background saying “We’re SAHBA” - I never thought would have been successful but they were.

Aside from your professional wisdom, I’ve come to know you personally and your compassion for the less fortunate has been an example that all of us could emulate. From Youth on Their Own to other children crises centers that you are involved in you have shown me that you are deeply invested in this community.

You are the type of trade partner that we at SAHBA feel comfortable forming a very long-lasting relationship with. Any perspective client looking for an agency that is tough, effective, and compassionate should choose you.

D.R. Horton

"I have worked with Bolchalk FReY Marketing for over ten years. They have always excelled at developing creative ad campaigns, innovative new sales materials, and great public relation stories and done so while working within our budget.

Each new campaign has had a fresh approach, but stays within the style that we have established as our signature look. Mike and his staff keep us from straying away from sound marketing plans. The creative staff at Bolchalk FReY Marketing will complete jobs with very little notice and are a pleasure to work with.

As a company, Bolchalk FReY Marketing adds to our community with their involvement in supporting local charities to make Tucson a better place to live.

I would recommend this agency to everyone wanting to increase their business and image."
