      I was called by a sales rep promoting an ad campaign at ****** ***** from Nov/23-Apr/24. It sounded like a great opportunity as I was trying to build up local clientele - ******* ** ****** *** ** ** * **** ***** ** *****. When I was contacted, I was told my ad would play on 1 table top sign PER table = 45-50 at the restaurant but when I went by Nov. 3, there were only 10 & my ad wasn't on any. I followed up to complain & was told the ad would be loaded, but there were only 10 signs. I told them I wasn't happy & wanted a refund, but they had a 5 day cancellation window from the date of processing the order only. The invoice showed the duration of the campaign (6mths), not the quantity of signs I was told I'd receive (50 vs. 10) so I filed a complaint with ****. They refunded the charge, but later reversed it since some level of service was still provided. **** said they agreed but had no choice to reverse the charge & directed me to filing a consumer complaint with the BBB & a couple of other organizations. I feel like Marc Advertising misrepresented what they were offering & need to update their business practices to better describe the scope of what they are selling. Further, the cancellation window should extend to the time the campaign starts, when customers can actually see what they are getting vs. what they are told. I paid for this period of time and have gone back to the venue, but my ad is not playing *** ****** ****** *** ******* **** *** * ******** ***** ** ******

      I paid to have my business on a community farmers market bag in my town in December of 2023. The market started in May of 2024. It is now almost July, the market is half over as it ends in early October, and still do not have a delivery date for when the bags will arrive to the market for distribution. My sales rep left and I had -0- follow-up from anyone at the Marc Group letting me know that the bags were delayed. I found out because I went to the first and second weekend markets and no bags were available. I emailed and was sent an email stating that production and shipping issues have been the issue. ** ****** **** ******* I should have read the reviews. * **** ** ****** * ****** *** ********* *** **** ******* ** *** ***** *** ****** ***** **** ******* *** ***** ***** *********** ** ********  Especially since their target market is small businesses that they are taking ********* of. ******* **** ** ** **** ***** ** ** *** **** ****** ****** ***** ** **** *******

      The MARC Group Response

      26/06/2024

      We apologize for the delay and the frustration you've experienced with the community farmers market bag advertising campaign. We deeply regret any inconvenience caused by the delay in delivering the bags to the market for distribution. We understand your disappointment with the lack of communication regarding the status of your order after your sales representative left. This situation falls short of the standard of service we aim to provide to our clients. Please know that we take your feedback seriously and are actively working to address the production and shipping issues. We assure you that we are committed to resolving this matter promptly and ensuring that you receive the advertising you paid for. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience caused. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we appreciate your patience as we work to rectify the situation.

      If you really wanted to rectify the situation then you would use different sourcing for your products and not keep having the same issues **** ******* - over and over again. *** ** *** ******** **** *** ********* *** *** *** ***** *** **** *** **** ******* **** ***** ** *** ****** **** *** **** *** **** *** ******* *** ******** ** **** ********* ** ***** ********** ********* *** **** you make promises that you can not keep. You called the store, even though you have my cell phone, and stated that it will be another two to three weeks. I want my money back!!!! If your guess of 2-3 weeks is correct then we will only have 3 weeks left of a weekly market. That means that out of 25 weekend markets, the bags will be available for likely 3 of them. You are going against your contract and agreement and I want my money back.!!! ****** ******** **** ******* ** * *******
