Serendipitously We Go.... My husband, Rich and I had a fun experience when we told the story of how we met and married. Ellen O'Dwyer and Rich Salls came to our home and we spent about an hour telling them our happy story. Rich took some pictures and off they went. We waited a few weeks in anticipation of the article and when it came out, we were excited. AH friends told us they loved reading the story and our family was so surprised. We collected a few magazines from neighbors and gave our families copies to keep. Our article mentioned many businesses on First Ave. I found out most businesses don't get a copy of the magazine in the monthly mailing and when I've told them about it, they all wished they received the magazine each month. I would suggest putting businesses on the mailing list.

Dec in Mahogany BVM was great to work with. Asked lot of Good questions and put together a great summary of how we ended up in Mahogany. I also met the sales team and they do have a great ad complain for expert professionals in the area. Great way to get some visibility. The also use geotagging.

I agree with MN **** WARNING **** I agree with MN, this company is a scam. They charged me $5000 for an ad in a Houston, West University community newspaper. To this date I have had ZERO response. Notice that their 5-star reviews never mention any return on investment. I don't even know if they have published my ads since, I only received a West University magazine for January and February. Where is March and April??? The style of the ads they print show that they are NOT branding experts. Do not fall for their slick marketing campaign. Save your money and do referral marketing instead. **** WARNING ****

The whole staff made it enjoyable for the Pavese family! The whole staff made it enjoyable for the whole family. Very accommodating and easy to work with.

The print ads are misleading The print ads are misleading. They say you will be advertised in all the best Zip codes for the magazine and that's true, but then you find out the distribution is quarterly instead of monthly. They charge you monthly though. I verified this by questioning several people that I know who receive the magazine. They all say "about once a quarter" and they live in different neighborhoods. That means most of them never saw the "expert contribution" I made in a section of the magazine which I paid extra for. The other side is the digital media ads. They claim views of 20k to 30k each month, but the actual traffic going to facebook or my website are next to zero. In essence the digital traffic reports are completely made up. You're paying for a fake report each month. They do an ad mockup to show you what it looks like and then send out a billing with the supposed ad traffic numbers. I'm not sure what they cant actually just drive traffic to your business pages instead of doing what they're doing. After paying them for 18 moths to do nothing with digital, I ran an ad directly with facebook for one week and the traffic increased from 20 views on a one year old ad that I made myself (and BVM was supposed to promote), to 1,100 views. I also got 2 clients out of it that week. It cost me $38 to Facebook, instead of $250 to BVM. The click through rate to my website also went up after running that one ad. Then they try and pressure you saying that it is a legal contract and you cant opt out for another couple of years, until the contract expires. They're scammers, and should be treated as such. I hope this helps someone who comes across this. Find a different ad agency, this organization will take you for tens of thousands if they can. They got me for over 12k because I wasn't paying attention. I had a lot on my plate at the time wearing all the hats, caring for a parent, death in household etc. I hired them to advertise my company and they just robbed me instead. It almost sunk the company with the lack of new business. Don't let it happen to you.
