Best Version Media

When we were approached by the Southbury Neighbors Magazine - it sounded like a great idea - and as they explained their target audience - etc. I asked about the length of the agreement which included an expert column and advertising. I remember hearing we had a one year exclusive, and the first right to renew after the first year. We we optimistic. 15 months later I come to learn we have a 3 year agreement with no out! I the first 15 months I spent over $10K in the sponsorship and advertising - with NO LEADS - not a single lead! We have asked to be out of the agreement and they have refused. People who I have talked to in our town - laugh when we mention the magazine - they say "you mean the magazine that goes straight to the trash?" We were duped - and shame on us for not sending the agreement to a lawyer to review. I would never recommend doing business with BestVersionMedia - I feel deceived and they have no accountability towards results. Con People!

I'm a huge fan of where I live and those around me. So fun to get a monthly publication that highlights the people and places nearby. Love hearing about local businesses, their owners, and the people who reside close to me.

As a sponsor... it's a no-brainer. I'm a real estate agent who would love the opportunity to serve the neighborhoods around me and this is a great and easy platform to share about the services that I provide to clients.

3 year contract with only 2 leads. When our business chose to cancel we where offered many options to continue month to month. As the office manager along with owners we declined. Our sales rep * in Colorado Springs charged us for another month. I called BVM directly to ask for a refund as I was under the impression that it was only a mistake. WRONG! I was then given * number( Supervisor) to request a refund and left 3 voicemails with out any response. So then I called my sales rep * who immediately became defensive. Yelling and swearing right away for requesting a refund! Saying that I was calling her a liar and we never cancelled the contract! We told her EVERY-TIME she came into the office for at least 5 months. She told me that I was only a F*** Receptionist and didn't have a F**** Collage degree! I have never been spoke to this way in my entire professional career! BEWARE very NASTY!

I submitted an ad to sell my pop up camper, and the submission process was seamless and easy. I liked that when you type, the letters or text don't disappear.

After Receiving an issue of Desert Foothills living I reached out to Penny to see what they offered and how to be featured in the magazine, she met with me the very next day and shared all the information about the magazine and what she does.
I'm a local esthetician looking to get some exposure and looking to meet more of my neighbors.
Penny had me submit a cover story and had me set up a photoshoot with her photography studio, which was a fun experience in a beauty studio.

This was a great experience and I just feel so honored that Penny chose me and my family for her November cover story.

Thank you Penny!

I have to give the company credit for their product's various advantages, since I highly recommend it.

Do not deal with this company. Came out and met an employee early last year. Told me about it and did not sign anything. A year later I received a call saying we had to do advertising, we signed a contract. I stated I did not and we are not doing advertising. Called again to harass me. Then this morning received this email "I have your card here_____ what is going on when
I phoned the number on the card the lady answered and said you are not the owner of______ and yet you signed a contract with me last may 25th
--If i don't hear from you i will have to report this I'm. Confused

Report this? To who, the advertising police? I sent him an email back stating I spoke to him twice yesterday and to stop harassing me or I was calling the police. What kind of company would have a contract for advertising signed and then come back a year later to implement it? It's so incredibly crazy. Watch out for this shady company and their dealings.

I was an owner of a small salon. The economy hasn't been great in a past couple of years. I was contacted by one of the magazine' publishers and was promised help with the business by marketing in their magazine. Less then a year later, I lost my business, working as an employee for another company, never gained a single customer from the magazine, BUT still paying my contract, because they are a scam that strives on other people money. They are continuing to withdraw the money from my bank to advertise a company that I don't own any longer. This is so stressful to loose a business that I put all my heart into for 10 years, and still someone getting advantage of a contract from it. To make it extra tacky, I was told by my publisher that I just need to find me a reach husband. I think this summarizes the standards and the integrity of this company. Don't do it. Advertising on Google for example is chipper and much more productive. I know I will have to continue to pay my fees for another 4 months, but at list I hope no one else does. I hope that people read reviews here.

This is my first time using this format, but the format seems to be totally inclusive and helpful. I do not like having to submit a review before you accept my items for sale!.
