Best media experience thus far. Photographer was incredible. Journalist captured the story beautifully. Very well coordinated.
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!
WE MAKE THE MISTAKE OF ADVERTISING WITH THEM THERE WAS ZERO EXPOSURE TO THE MARQUET WE WANTED TO REACH THEY LIED TO US PROMISING RESULTS, WHEN WE REALIZED THE SCAM WE ASKED THEM TO STOP ADVERTISING BUT THEY REFUSED AND KEPT CHARGING US AN OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY. PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND SEEK OTHER WAYS TO ADVERTISE YOUR BUSSINESS!
Our advertising solutions have helped countless businesses grow in their communities. We're disappointed to hear about this individual's experience and will look to improve the advertising experience moving forward.
Jami was super sweet throughout the process. She called and set up a phone interview with us for our story. After she wrote the story, she sent it to us for review and let us make any changes needed. The photographer Mike was really nice as well. The photo session was quick, which was really nice with our small children. We were super excited for the magazine to come out, but when one of my coworkers sent me a photo of the cover, I was so disappointed to see that our name was spelled wrong. Jami did apologize for the mistake and reached out to someone at BVM to see if we could get 1 copy with the correct spelling and we never heard anything back.
It was a lovely experience to be featured in Park City Neighbors Magazine! Both your writer and photographer are top notch and both were very pleasant experiences. I received many texts from close friends and people I hadn't heard from in a few years letting me know they thought it was awesome. Thank you so much!
Thanks for leaving us a review, Sharon! We're so happy you enjoyed the experience!
The whole experience was great, Kim and Jesse are so much fun to work with and did an amazing job with the articles and photography. Highly recommend it to anyone wanting to be featured either as a resident or a business!
Great work!
Thank you for leaving us a review! We're happy to hear you had a wonderful experience with your local magazine!
There is no way you can cancel your contract with BVM even if they made a mistake with your ad or their marketing is not working. I learned my lesson and from now on I will make sure that every contract says that the customer can cancel at any time. Here is what their contract says: "No Cancellation by Client. This Agreement may not be canceled by Client before the expiration of the Term, except as provided in Section 10
(if applicable), or in the event of BVM's breach of a material term of this agreement that goes uncured by BVM for more than 30 days after
BVM receives written notice from Client identifying the specific material breach." And section 10 says: "First Print Publications. If the "1st Print" box is checked and after 12 months from the date the Agreement is signed the Publication is not
In print, the Client may, at its option, void the Agreement. Such notice by Client must be provided to BVM in writing. Client acknowledges
That it may take up to 12 months for a First Print Publication to go into print and nonetheless agrees to be bound by this Agreement."
Therefore there is no way to get out of the contract even if you lose your business. BE AWARE!
Our team worked with this client in the fall to lower their monthly cost of advertising due to financial challenges. When a business closes, we simply ask for verifiable documentation before moving forward with cancellation. We have gone above and beyond to provide excellent service for this client and we hope to work with them moving forward.
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!
We enjoyed the experience and would recommend as well! Filling out the form and the communication with Stephanie was easy and pleasant. Sarah Marie was great to work with and we love the photos as well. Now we're smiling as we get texts of our magazine cover and fun reach-outs from friends and neighbors regarding the article too. Thanks so much for the opportunity!
Thank you for sharing your experience! Our BVM magazines bring neighbors together and include relevant, informative community content.
Denise Lasley was fantastic to work with in scheduling the article and Dalton Hobbs did an outstanding photography job making my Corvette look beyond beautiful. I really appreciate the opportunity to be featured, telling my Del Webb story as well as our Corvette Show story and I have received many positive comments about the quality of the publication. Thank you for a great job!

Everything was meticulously planned starting from the email contact to the pictures taken and story editing. Very professional and courteous team. Congratulations on bringing this magazine every month with same vitality.
Thanks for the awesome review! We are so glad you enjoyed being featured.
We had a great experience with the team at Best Version Media from the initial contact regarding putting together our family information to share with our community. From the sales respresentation, to the writing staff and the photographer who made everything so easy and stress free! They have a great team that does a phenomenal job through to the finished product mailed out. Great job and magazine!
Thanks so much for the kind words, Pamela! We are thrilled to hear about your experience. Thank you for the support!
Had a great experience with Glenmore Living Magazine. My family was recently featured in the magazine. Elyse is very helpful from day 1 to the final draft of our story. As well as Carolyn, the photographer. She did a great job taking photos, she is indeed detail-oriented. Had a great feedback from our friends. Me and my wife Toni were thrilled and overwhelmed with the outcome of the magazine. As soon as I posted on facebook, we got hundreds of likes and comments from our friends. It was a memorable experience!
This review made our day! Thank you so much for taking the opportunity to be featured. We love highlighting community members in every new edition!
Although it's new, we already look forward to receiving our issue of Lakeview Neighbors on a monthly basis! Shout out to the team for issuing a publication that helps to bring the community together. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the awesome shoutout, Meaghan! We hope you enjoy the upcoming editions!
We were the featured family in the Appleton Neighbors November issue and we're so happy with our experience. Miranda Hopp kept our story true to everything we shared and did not leave any details out. Faith is a big part of our lives, so we were so happy she included all that we shared about God and how he has worked in our lives even though it's not a Christian magazine. The one thing that was kind of annoying was that we got photos taken with the photographer, but she later asked us for more photos because the photographer only sent 4. During our photo session, the photographer mentioned that they normally ask for 3-4 photos, so I encouraged Miranda to reach back out for more photos. She said the photos she got would work. I think that it would have been nice if she could just ask the photographer for the number of photos she needed for the article. Many of our friends complimented the article, and one family even asked how they go about becoming the next featured family!
Thanks for the review, Jordyn! We will take your feedback into consideration and we appreciate your support!
From the article to taking the pictures was an incredible experience
Thanks again
Thanks, Jason! We're so glad you enjoyed the opportunity!
It was very detailed and a team work of cooperation and double checking the script prior to printing.
Thanks for reviewing us!
We were recently featured in your magazine and it was a very simple process from start to finish. The process was explained well and it wasn't too difficult on our end. Very glad we were able to have this experience!
Thanks for the review, Megan! We are so happy to hear about your experience!
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!
Sincerely,
Christina Sequeira
We're so happy you had a fun time being featured! Thanks for taking time to leave us a quick review.
From my first interaction with Magaly DelValle, editor, Helen McKinney, writer, and Misty Enright, photographer--the whole process of being featured in the North Oldham Neighbors magazine was smooth and enjoyable from beginning to end. Each person was communicative, professional, and careful to represent my husband and I and our story well. We were impressed!
We truly appreciate the review! Thanks for sharing your positive experience with us.
