I'm sure you've noticed forward motion on our part to take care of problems and complaints. If you do a google search on Area Circulation I think you will be pleased to see that I've responded to them and in the next few days, possibly a week, you should start seeing retractions and satisfied customers.
You and everyone here is also welcome to contact me at
accountant@areacirculation.net if there are any questions or concerns.
Understanding it is difficult to change a negatively impressioned mind, I am appealing to your sense of propriety to see if you can overcome that initial negatively charged experience, and ask if you would be willing to reconsider the 'harmful to business' aspect of your posts.
By all means please contact me (in private e-mail we can exchange phone information) and ask anything you would like to know about our company. My goal is to demonstrate our good will and describe our goals, etc.
I do understand the difficulty in what I'm asking. I'm an impressionable and fast decision maker myself. It's hard to change my mind.
If you are ameanable to retraction after we speak and you see results, I couldn't be happier. If not, I will have failed in my mission, and I apologize.
We are concerned about negative impressions on the web as we are about to embark on an all out sales campaign via the web.
We haven't done a statistical analysys of the damage done to our company by erroneous negative web content, but I'm sure you can understand that to us it seems important to address every aspect of it.
First I want to simply solve all problems and give a proper description of what we do and why we do it, and let people know we don't start making money until we have happy customers who renew.
The very last thing I want to do is pay the 'land sharks' and put them into a feeding frenzy. We just want to sell magazines and give people good service, not enter into a legal battle, but if we discover false information is hurting our company's reputation and costing us sales, we may end up wasting good money on laywers (tis a sad world that they are even needed!).
In my mind making friends of enemies is by far the best policy. After all, you were only offended because you got a bad impression from a phone call and assumed we were one of the large number of scam artists out there, not by visiting our company and getting to know us.
If you read magazines, the deal is 5 magazines a week for 5 years, and you get a super deal that ends up costing $3.64 per week. The total is $900 for the five years, and we offer a plan to pay that off in one year, at $74 a month, and then we start offering you things like airline tickets for two, to paris, london, etc.
You can change magazines at any time, which to me is an incredible way to sample magazines you might not try otherwise. If the wife gets pregnant, switch the 'Maxim' over to a baby magazine!
Thanks for your time,
