Deborah Jones and her team at Biz X Magazine work so incredibly hard to produce each issue and their November / December Awards 2024 issue is fantastic! So happy to see that Erie Street Woodworks won in their Woodworking Wonders category. There were 196 nominees this year and I have no idea how Deborah and the team of judges were able to choose between all of the talented nominees.
Deborah is always accessible and responsive. Make sure you check out the current issue of Biz X Magazine.

Biz X provides more than a magazine to Windsorites. Biz X also provides notice and support to Windsorites, businesses, events, and activities.
The Rose City Comic Convention is grateful to have received outstanding attention for our event through Biz X in their magazine and online social media.
Their sponsorship of our event enhanced public awareness of the show and brought it to the attention of many beyond our social media reach.
Deborah and her team provided excellent promotion leading up to our event and outstanding post-show coverage as well!

I recently had the pleasure of reading this month's BizX magazine and I must say that I was impressed with the valuable information it contained. The magazine's focus on promoting small local businesses was evident in the articles and features it included.

One of the most impressive aspects of BizX magazine is the way in which it highlights the stories of various local businesses and business events. The magazine includes articles and interviews with business owners, profiles of successful entrepreneurs, and in-depth coverage of local events that showcased the vibrant business community in the area.

Moreover, the magazine provides practical advice and tips for local businesses to help them grow and succeed. From marketing strategies to financial planning, the magazine's content is always highly relevant and informative for business owners.

It is clear that BizX magazine is committed to helping local businesses thrive, not just by providing them with exposure but by also offering them the tools and resources they need to succeed. The magazine also helps foster a sense of community among local business owners by providing a platform for them to connect and collaborate.

Overall, I highly recommend BizX as a business magazine to anyone looking to support the local business community and stay informed about the latest trends and developments and events in the area. The magazine's dedication to promoting and supporting small businesses is truly admirable, and it is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to start, grow, or sustain a successful business.

Deborah and the Biz X team are not only a group of people who work together, they are the spirit of Windsor's community, business essence and bringing social awareness. As a new member of this beautiful city, it was through Biz X magazine that I learned who is who and where is where. I attended their 25th Anniversary Gala in 2022 and what a fantastic evening. Everything, from the sparkling decor, glam photos, entertainment, guest speakers and our own Windsor fire department fundraising for Sparky's Toy Drive, was a true celebration. Thank you Deborah, and the team, for all your hard work. Continue to raise that bar of success throughout 2023!

Biz X Magazine is a staple in our community. It's such a quick way to stay informed about what's going on around town. We love that you can find it in most waiting rooms too! We don't typically advertise but we do like to show our support especially when it comes to Awards time! We are honoured to have been nominated throughout the years and as past winners of the Biz X Awards, we try to help out and advertise especially during that issue! Deborah does so much for our community! She is such a sweet and hard-working woman!

What can I say about Deborah Jones? She is one of the kindest and hard working people out there. Her work ethic is impeccable. She, as well as BIz X magazine have supported my mission to help others. Because of her and many, my name is getting out there. Deborah, I owe you so much. You are selfless and I just wanted to tell you my friend that I appreciate you more than you know. Keep flourishing in all you do. Your magazine is the absolute BEST! And so are you.

Biz X Magazine continues to tell local stories in a time when local Canadian journalism is disappearing at a frightening rate. Small business is the life blood of our community, yet major news outlets only have the capacity to cover a fraction of our communities local business news.

New openings, new offerings, big milestones, new trends - Biz X is a constant source of information aggregated nowhere else in our region, and there is no better companion to find in waiting rooms across Essex County.

Deb and her team truly care about entrepreneurs and their efforts to grow and thrive in Windsor-Essex. I believe it's that unshakeable passion that has cemented this magazine as an institution in our community, and is just one of many reasons why I am always excited to pick up their latest copy!
