    I am the Director of Development at a small non-profit academic program, ************************************. Stroll ********* has been instrumental in highlighting the work of our program. ******************************* is the publisher and she and her team have been fantastic to work with. Our program is in ********, **, but the majority of our founders and long-term supporters live in Westchester Couty and specifically in *********, so it's important for ** to keep a presence in the area. Stroll ********* is a high-quality, appealing publication with an excellent social media presence. I appreciate the opportunity to participate in their publication.

    Great vehicle to reach the local community. As a nonprofit, we rely on stories and messaging to attract volunteers to support the educational needs of students impacted by homelessness. Stroll magazines and The N2 Company have carved out this much-needed niche as local community newspapers fade away. So grateful for the heart behind this A+ company.

    Advertised with them for a year like we discussed when I met with local rep. I was told one thing but when a year was up we were still billed so I asked to cancel. They referred to the contract where I still had to pay $500 per month for 90 days. $7500 waisted advertising with this company and still have to pay them after my year is up. Would of had way better results with *******

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts. After looking into your contract, we see that you signed a 36-month agreement. The 90 days youre referring to is outlined in our early cancellation policy which explains that we require 90 days' notice if you seek to end our agreement prior to our agreed-upon end date. Though youll likely be ending our partnership early, we want to reiterate the importance of your marketing efforts with N2 as a longer-term campaign that builds momentum from your business being seen by our readers consistently. We hope that for the remainder of our partnership, you work to get the very most out of it. Best of luck.

    Read what you sign. Even though this is just for a spot in a magazine, the contracts are loaded. There is not much discussion about the contract when meeting with your local rep but if you want to cancel, you will be referred to their "billing department" which will explain all of the articles in the contract of why you cannot cancel and how much money you will have to pay to do so. I received no leads.Invest your small business capital in other advertising.

    Hello. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We completely agree with your advice to read contracts before signing – this is important in all aspects of life, including professional agreements. Like most B2B partnerships, there are time commitments in place for our advertising agreements. We're sure your local rep explained to you the importance of your marketing campaign with N2 as a longer-term campaign that builds momentum from your business being seen by our readers month after month. It's a disservice for us to charge partners to advertise for anything less than 12 months because, in some cases, results start coming after the initial time it takes to become a "household name" to readers. This is why our minimum agreements are for 12 months. Despite this, we were able to reach a resolution with you and we hope you take advantage of everything this partnership has to offer for the remaining time you're working with us.

    *********************** came to ***************** years ago to sell advertising in ******************* (now Stroll). Many media folks solicit their advertising quite well, but ***** was so impressive, as ********* ****************** Director, I was instantly sold. What makes ***** different is her exceptional customer service. She lives up to the phrase earn your business. I strongly recommend working with *********************** and N2 Publishing.

    The N2 Publication, ************************* which represents our Biltmore neighborhood . . . is so refreshing to read and view each and every page. The magazine provides and array of local stories that are important in our cozy neighborhood. We also use the advertising as a good to resource as needed. The graphic layout is also easy on the eye. My family looks forward to reading each each and every month. *************************, publisher, is pure joy in her representation of your brand and our neighborhood consider her a friend. Her professionalism, integrity, and warmth is always refreshing. We are thrilled to have Stroll Biltmore as our neighborhood magazine. It is nice to know what is new in the neighborhood. Looking forward to receiving the next issue. Thank you.

    I canceled my services with this company and was told I had a balance. Now this evening I got an email from a collection company saying I owe over $15,000. Then I find out that all along they had my contract wrong they put it in a big corporate company name that I have ************ to sign a contract for. I never talked to the sales rep nor was explained that the contract would be in the companys name. Had that been discussed I would have said we cannot do that. I just want this fixed and an invoice for how the charges ballooned to over $15,000.

    We would love to work with you directly to figure this out. Our team believes we were able to locate your account (though the name and email used to post this review differ slightly from that on your account information). It looks like you signed an advertising agreement with us back in March and we began running your ad in our magazine in May (as agreed upon in the contract). We did not receive payment from you and sent a past-due notice, to which you replied you wanted to prematurely cancel your contract. You agreed to the solution we proposed we are happy to provide you with the email confirmation of this but ignored all of our follow-*** to actually move forward with the resolution. For this reason, we had no choice but to send your account to collections. Please respond to our attempts to communicate with you if you'd like more clarification on this.

    Our organization is grateful for the opportunity to work with N2 and Stroll Publications for the last 3 years. The publications are first class. The promotions and advertising are rich with color and visual imagery that has attracted the public to our events. The high-pact and interesting articles have amplified the attention our organization has received. The publications target and attract a fabulous clientele community that is active and eager to get involved. We have received more sponsors and partners due to our relationship with **************** ************************* and her team are very creative and high-energy. They have been hands on working with our group and always bring their A game. Our events have been highlighted in the magazine and are now vividly recorded in print.

    I've been a content contributor to several publications in **************, which helps us market our nonprofit *********************** to animal lovers in select communities. I love working with ********************* and the magazine brand Stroll. When **** sat down with me at my work office, I was delighted that he wanted this publication to be a community-based resource featuring families plus the businesses and nonprofits that make up our community. In fact, my family was one of the first featured residents. **** allows us to provide content based on our blogs, and he always makes sure that I have a chance to proof the copy before it goes to publication. He's responsive and a pleasure to have him as part of our extended team.I've seen the tremendous growth Stroll has made with educational content, stories about our community members, and a growing number of advertisers representing quality businesses. Not only that, ****'s been asking community members to gather at different venues so that we can get to know our neighbors better. That's what I call a well-rounded community service. I highly recommend that any business or nonprofit looking for an opportunity to reach select communities consider contacting ********************* at Stroll today.

    Our organization had a fantastic experience working with **** and **************** We worked directly with **** and found him to be professional and efficient. He set deadlines and expectations from the beginning and met every milestone along the way. We appreciate the opportunity to showcase our nonprofit and be included in their publication.
