TargetedEmailAds.com aka Scott Sivertson Scott Sivertson Beware of this Website Brandon, Manitoba Canada

Having done business for more than 15 years with the company Scott Sivertson is employed by and being a marketing consultant by trade, I feel compelled to share my viewpoint.

First, the company is legitimate and above board. That they have many web domains and names has zero bearing on how they do business, and has nothing to do with the complaint.

Marketing is part art, part science. If a marketing campaign doesn't work, you begin by testing elements of the campaign, to figure out what didn't work and why and to try and understand what will work. Expecting results on the first effort of a marketing campaign is not only unrealistic, it shouts inexperience of the marketer. Sure, sometimes campaigns produce on the first try, but more often than not, they don't. 

There are SO many reasons a campaign doesn't work. Pointing a finger at the list provider is an inadequate response. Slandering the company or person who represents that company and acting as is having a number of company names and/or locations is reason for suspicion is another indication of inexperience. 

In my many years of dealing with this company, Scott has been my main point of contact. Not only was he always professional and responsive, he offered excellent customer service. He was always pleasant, helpful and went out of his way to make himself accessible. In my book, Scott delivered some of the best customer service I've ever experienced, anywhere. He's a stand-up guy who goes the extra mile. On many occasions, Scott made himself available in an evening or on a weekend if I needed something out of the ordinary. He came through and did it graciously and with a sense of humor and a great attitude. 

If you're considering doing business with Scott, or the company he is employed by, I encourage you NOT to take this complaint seriously. 

I am fairly certain I know much more about this company and have much more experience with them, and Scott ,than the complainant. 

To the author of the complaint

It is unfortunate that you did not see the success you were hoping for and/or anticipating with your campaign.

Yes the company I work for (I am not an owner in any fashion of it) has multiple URL's. The company likes to market them in different ways in the hopes of reaching a broader audience.

The company I work for has countless recurring clients, both large and small. You can always find new clients, but you have to be doing something correct to keep having them come back ... especially in our industry.

I would venture that your order wasn't successful, primarily because the product / website you promoted, did not have anything interesting and/or tangible to offer (this is a common problem with online marketing). I would strongly suggest that you rework the product or website you are promoting and the marketing strategy for it, so that moving forward, you should see better results ... regardless of what company you use.

To the author of the complaint

1. Feel free to look us up ... the parent company has been at the same office in Brandon MB for the last 4 years ... you could get a coffee from the shop right by our front door and see our employees working inside.

2. I noticed you forgot to mention that you had to call in and speak to a representative before we would even accept your order and we verified your account and order information with you over the phone. We do this with all first time clients, just to confirm it wasn't someone who stole your info and was fraudulently placing orders with your money.

3. You left out the complete details of my work history as listed on my LinkedIn account
