I was interested in mailing postcards to customers wanting to purchase life insurance. This is a popular advertising method in this industry. As I searched the internet, I was attracted to this company because of their phony claims. "Fast turn around times, 24-48 hours, 7-10 day response!!!"
I placed my order and the staff was very courteous. Now I know why...they do not mail anything out and when I call back, they gve excuses of why they have not received my cards back yet.
Tom Meadows Jr really puts on a show. He claims that in all the years they've been in business, not once have they not had cards come back for their customers. So I asked what are his guarantees? He answers, "Let's give it anothr couple of day."
It's a total stall tactic and a complete waste of my time and money. My advise is to not fall prey to these low cost operations. It is money better spent to go with a mailing company who is popular among other agents.
Their testimonials on the website are probably false as well.

#1 REBUTTAL Owner of company
Angry because response was not fast enough?
AUTHOR: Tommy Meadows - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, February 09, 2011
According to the statement, this person is angry because it took longer than expected for people to respond to their advertising. They never once complained about the response itself.
Would you get angry at the newspaper if you ran an ad to sell your car and you went a couple of days before someone called to buy the car?
This is one of the biggest problems we see and we see it all
of the time - new agents, who have never sold anything in their life, are told
about the big money they can make selling life insurance.
Then, after spending their last $200 on insurance school and
licenses, the agency tells them the first thing they have to spend over $400
dollars on direct mail advertising. This
is necessary to generate sales leads so they can make that big money they were promised.
New to the industry, they spend their last $400 dollars or even
worse, they borrow a credit card from their spouse, parents or friend to pay for
their mail.
When the lead cards return, they’re excited but soon find
out that it’s not easy to sell life insurance.
Their poor phone skills produce few appointments and their fear of door
knocking prevents them from ever really speaking to many people and the mailing
produces zero sales.
Now, they have to explain to their spouse/Mother/friend why
they don’t have the money to pay back the $400 credit card bill they paid the mail with.
This is why we have seen an order for advertising placed a husband and then, several weeks later, the wife will attempt to get a refund.
Advertising is just that – Advertising. Wikipedia says that Advertising is a form of
communication intended to persuade an audience (viewers, readers or listeners)
to purchase or take some action upon products, ideas, or services. There is no mention of guarantying sales.
So, we ask, please don’t spend your last $400 dollars on
mail at ValueMailing.com.
We have clients who mail with us every single
week and are very happy with the performance of our services.
Say you saw us on this website and receive $25 dollars off your next order.
