The Facts Media

I received a call from Movie Facts today owning up to the issue with the sales person calling me. They went above and beyond with an apology.
I am now using Movie Facts for an 6 month Ad campaign.
Thank you Movie Facts for the great recovery.

I have not advertised with them YET, but I am setting up my ad. I will say this. They do NOT have an F grade at the BBB, they have a B– grade. And the only people that have F grades would be those that do not do their research before advertising your company. Movie Facts called our local Chamber of Commerce and got my phone number, they had 3 open slots for their upcoming newsletters, and all of them are chamber members. If this was a BAD company, our local chamber of commerce would NOT provide our information or recommend us to them. It is their job to take care of their chamber members and weed out any ‘scams’. I see this as a great opportunity to target clients that I would love to have, and at $ 275 for 4 months, that is very cheap advertising. ONE client from this offer will pay for and more the cost of running the ad.
I think that the bad reports are coming from those that did NOT ask the right questions, did not look into the facts, of COURSE there is a set up fee, they are designing an ad for you, the set up fee is included in the $ 275, AND they have an auto cancellation that they can set you up on, so it is only the business owners fault if you did do the necessary things that are pretty NORMAL before you advertise on any medium. You cannot blame a company for your mistakes in not asking or getting the info to make an informed decision. That is only the consumers fault.
Furthermore, this is just like if you go to a restaurant and get stellar service, you don’t go bragging all about that do you? But if you get BAD service then you post it all over online.
Check your facts, the first being their ratting with the BBB, it is NOT an F. Second being, any time you have something designed for you there will be a set up fee, duh. And also any time they are going to print your ad in something, they ASSUME you want to keep your ad space, since there are limited slots, so it is your responsibility as a business to stay on track of your campaign and advertising timelines and know when your slot is going to be up and if you wish to renew it.

This company is AWFUL! I agreed to advertise with them after many conversations with the sales rep. I made an agreement to pay for three months. I was told after three months my contract would cancel on its own. I was billed for three additional months $ 240! The manager, BETTY said they had recordings of the calls. The recordings were bits and pieces of the actual conversation. Not to mention I visited the theatre and these brochures were no where to be found! I did not get one customer from this wast of money advertising. Beware MOVIE FACTS is a SCAM!

The first year I opened my business, I advertised in what I thought was a cool movie related brochure. My bad for not doing more thorough homework, and seeing that it wasn’t widely circulated or read. But their bad for advertising tactics that are very misleading. They have an F grade with the Better Business Bureau, and most of the complaints are in the advertising/​sales category. From my own experience, (and I filed a complaint with the BBB, and with the CEO, though it was difficult to find the actual company personnel) this is due to an automatic renewal policy that is deliberately vague and is not put in writing. I’m posting this as a caution for others, as this is a nationwide business and the salespeople seem friendly and nice (but I was told when I called for a copy correction that my friendly salesperson had moved). Much confusion, and much diverting of calls. Before buying «Movie Facts» advertising, I’d check your local theater to see how it’s distributed, and, if it seems worth it, ask for the contract terms in writing, and specify that there be no renewal without your express permission.
