For 15 years I've been marketing in guides big and little which range from the Wall Street Journal and Los Angeles Times to small neighborhood documents. The support obtained from Mobile Home Parks Journal aka MHMLS was undoubtedly the worse.
First, I would like to begin by allowing the audience realize that I don't anticipate outcomes or earnings out of every advertisement I spot. Some work plus some don't. I-test industry in places as well as in documents and those that function I proceed to utilize. Nevertheless, what I actually do anticipate is professionalism, credibility, and ethics. Mobile Home Park Publications provided the moon and celebrities and quit me with dust.
The marketing consultant and also the vicepresident didn't return calls or e-mails, posted an unapproved advertisement saturated in mistakes, experimented with protect this up, and created no initiatives to apologize or repair the problem. The things they did do was get my income.
10/20/06 – I approached Mobile Home Park Journal asking about marketing within their book.
That which was provided by their sales consultant, which later ended up to become their Bay Area Rep.:
Marketing in Southern California within their publications: San Bernardino, Riverside, and perhaps La areas.
What I acquired:
Marketing in Northern California
That which was provided:
Graphic artists who'd help produce a skilled advertisement designed for their visitors.
What I acquired:
No the help of their visual design group. Graphic artists who couldn't replicate an easy, all-text advertising.in the place of operating the advertisement I accepted, they went the wrong advertisement using the large number of mistakes throughout it.
That which was provided:
Tear-sheets and copies of the advertisement to confirm it went properly.
What I acquired:
Many signs ad copies could be delivered, but after five individual demands plus their preliminary presents to deliver the advertisement, it had been just sent AFTER I talked having a lady within their 'sales' division also it wasn't obtained before end of Dec. It was significantly following the advertisement went AND following the evidence for that Jan advertisement was due.
That which was provided:
Support along with a proper advertisement that I'd proofed, authorized for, and settled $400 to possess printed within their publications.
What I acquired:
An inappropriate advertisement, no reaction or support from Mobile Home Park Journal, numerous reasons, defrauded out-of $400 along with a possible lack of 40% - 60% of my yearly major whilst the Dec interval is our busiest period of the entire year. Additionally, their Bay Area consultant as well as their Vice-President of Revenue were obviously made conscious of this and created SIMPLY NO work to offset these deficits by allowing me understand an issue had happened, producing any work to fix for this, providing, like is traditional within the marketing marketplace, to re run my ad free of charge and also to provide a discount on the potential advertisement, with no apology whatsoever.
For me, based on their complete insufficient problem, support, and professionalism I really believe they just look after large marketers. Personally I believe in case your budget is under $1,000 per month and you've no purpose of marketing for atleast annually, you'll not obtain any the help of their graphic artists, your advertisement would likely include mistakes and/or appear unprofessional when printed (which obviously may result in bad outcomes), you'll need to start almost all connection with them as their employees won't follow-up along with you, and you'll spend time and assets.
Mobile Home Park Publications as well as their team cared so small about their customers and status they didn't actually bother to react to the Greater Business Institution within their region...
