The article Patrick featured in this issue regarding our rare 53 DeSoto Firedome 2 door coupe was excellent and captured the pride in owning and personal joy when showing this prize winning classic.
We thank your Best Version Media company for the exposure you gave to our family.

Best Version Media is not a direct response advertising tool. It is a brand building tool that reaches into affluent neighborhoods. The magazines provide local businesses a mechanism to align themselves with specific neighbourhoods. Best Version Media offers businesses a smart way to build relationship and trust in a family-friendly community magazine. Ask yourself, who do you do business with? My response, people I know and trust... a very difficult proposition in today's society where many people don't even know their own neighbors. Neighborhood magazines bring the community together and for the right businesses who understand the essence of branding, they too are brought into that circle. ROI is a challenging term in today's marketing world... it used to be relevant when there were 2 or 3 forms of marketing available in a local area to monitor and track. We live in a very resourceful society where recency is often given greater credit than what initiated our appetite in the first place.
In my experience working with this company, response takes time. This style of marketing is about building loyalty and long-term relationships within a community.
Thanks for the great review, Michelle! Advertising with BVM is effective because it connects businesses to local residents through a repetitive, long-term branding approach.
Both your Editor and Photographer were very professional. The story was well written and pictures were beautiful. We received many compliments and inquires from residents in our town.
Thank you for the kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed the experience!
Our local magazine is respectful of our neighbors, is not filled with unnecessary advertising, and discusses topics we have in common and, overall, sends a very positive message.
We love hearing from local residents who read our magazines. Thanks Laurie!
We have had nothing but positive feedback on our family story--well written and great pictures! We look forward to every issue and have encouraged neighbor participation.
Thanks, Judy! We are thrilled to hear about positive experience being featured. Thanks for your continued support!
Since publishing my review, BVM has done all it can do add value to my account. Each dept. head has contacted me to offer assistance in making my advertising experience a good one.
Nice service provider. Photography was bery nice. Camera result was beautiful. Advance level photography.
Did not see a single coupon come my store. Impossible to get out of the agreement and have not been delivered a copy of the last 3 versions to see if I am even in the magazine.
Our magazines are one of the most powerful tools for local businesses and we strive to put every advertiser in front of a great audience. We can guarantee that relevant eyes are seeing your advertisement each month.
Stay away - Far far away!
They make you sign a 36 month advertising contract
Nobody does that - That should have been my 1st clue I was throwing my money away
A reputable worthwhile company wouldn't need a 36 mo contract - You would re-up after 1 year if their product was worth anything
For half the price I can advertise with Town Money Saver, reach 10 times the audience and have been getting over 4x the sales
STAY AWAY - A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY!
Our magazines are one of the most powerful tools for local businesses. Repetition and frequency are both critical components of any successful branding strategy. Our proven advertising model requires a consistent, long-term effort to connect local businesses with the best possible audiences.
It's personalized to fit or community. It provides articles of interest and ads to help me learn about the community and my favorite is the calendar of events. Thank you.
Thanks for the great review, Frank! We love providing local content for our readers to enjoy.
I just loved working with the entire team. They are all so dedicated to making you feel proud of the community you belong to. They were all so easy to work with and very professional at every step.
Thanks for the kind words, Melwani! We're so happy to hear about your positive experience!

We're so glad you enjoy the magazine each month. Thanks for the review!
We enjoyed the whole experience from working with Carol the photographer, Kelli the writer and Marla.
They are a great team!
Thanks, Kate! We're so happy to hear you had a great experience with your local BVM team!
Best media experience thus far. Photographer was incredible. Journalist captured the story beautifully. Very well coordinated.
Thank you for leaving us a review! Our award winning magazines feature local families and informative community content.
Stay away. This publication did noting for my business it was a total waste of time and money. The term of my contract was misrepresented and after getting out of it "early" which was really on time and owing a one month fee COVID hit and tanked my business by %75. Even knowing this Best version continued billing me and added on late fees knowing full well that I could not even pay my rent let alone a bill I really didnt owe THANKS BVM thats really considerate. My $180 is a drop in the bucket to a company that size and a big hit to my small business where im struggling to stay open BVM doesnt care
