I have been working with cartvertising going on three years now. I read some of these complaints and do not recognize this as the company I work for. Renewals say everything about the success of this program and at this point in my career without exception, if the person that I originally sold the program.to still is the current decision maker they ALWAYS renew. They wouldn't do that if we gave bad support or the program doesn't work. It can't fix your bad business practices but if you want to build a brand and gain top of mind awareness in your local market there is no more cost effective way to do it. read more

Attention! Doctors, Real Estate Agents, Business Owners and any advertiser, when we plan to sign a contract with IndoorMedia (cartvertising), think twice. Unless we plan to spend money to buy a painful experience, read the terms and conditions of the contract and don't sign it. Normally, these terms will be only sent to us after everything else was agreed upon so that we would not pay any attention to it. But the hell is in the terms. Basically, it says they (Distributor) may not perform (they did not perform in our case), but we (Advertiser) still have to pay. In case they did not perform, we can not touch them, and they can hurt us badly and they will. If we want to bring a legal fight with them, according to the terms, there are only courts in one place in the whole United States that can handle it. That means if we are in FL, CA, NY or any cities other than their HQ hometown, we have to fly our lawyers and ourselves to their place for many trips. Let us read through their terms to see how they set up the traps everywhere. #1. They may not perform (in our case, they did not deliver) and they are not liable for the non-performance. The terms writes "Distributor agrees to give its best efforts ... Distributor will not be liable for any failure ... ". They classified almost everyone else in the fulfillment delivery chain as the third parties, so that when they fail to perform, fail to deliver, it would never be their fault. In our case, when we questioned why there was no grocery cart in the grocery store carrying our ads every time we visited the store, they said the mall is a third party and the mall did not manage their carts well. And they are not liable for the non-performance.  #2. Even when they did not perform, we still had to pay. They can reject the contract, transfer our ads to another location. But we can not cancel, even when they did not perform. The terms writes "Distributor reserves the right to transfer advertisement ...", "Distributor reserves the right to reject this contract ..." and "This contract is non-cancellable by Advertiser". In our case, when they did not perform, they said we have to pay no matter what, because it is non-cancellable by the Advertiser (that is us). #3. Even when they did not perform, if we refuse to continue the payment for the remaining time of the contract, we will be sent to the debt collections and a lot of fees/costs will keep adding to our payment due. More importantly, they use a lot of attorneys to collect and add all the attorney fees and collection fees/cost to our payment due. The terms writes "... Advertiser agrees to pay all costs of collection, including reasonable attorney fees." and "... Advertiser agrees to pay a service charge of $10 per month ... $25 ... $44 ..." #4. With all the above unfairness and screw you up, if we decide to have a legal fight, okay, the cost would be HUGE. Because there are only courts in one place in the whole United States that can handle the case. That means if we are in FL, CA, NY or any cities other than their HQ hometown, we have to fly our lawyers and ourselves to their place for many trips. The terms writes "... only a court located in Harris County, Texas shall have jurisdiction to hear such matters ..." Be careful who we are dealing with. When dealing with questionable characters, companies, be careful. Even if we have the best contract at hand to protect us, we might still end up with lost time and effort. Not to mention, we have the worst contract at hand in which every single term is well crafted to screw you up. read more

Cartvertising - Print Media Near Me - Houston, Texas

I wish I could leave 0 starts I just started my junk removal business and I get a phone call from a guy from cartvertizing saying he seen my sign and that I would be a perfect candidate for advertising long story short. I met the guy at Starbucks and he was a great talker saying this would grow my business 5 to 10 times bigger. It ended up being 1100 a month for five months and my Ads would not run for another three after being paid, after the first month, I canceled over Phone with one of their reps a few months go by and I'm being called by a law office. They're trying to take me to court for $5000 because the document I signed was "uncancelable" and there's nothing I can do about it mind you my ads were never ran. This company did absolutely nothing for me and yet still wants to get paid every dollar as if they did they spent more time preparing legal documents to sue me for the money for the work they never delivered. They did anything else for me so my suggestion would be to not use them by any means.!!!! this is just one of their terrible reviews I wish I would've read before dealing with them read more

I'm sorry that it came down to having to write a review. Please don't waste your money and don't trust what you are being told. I was told that I had the first right of refusal on the position I had paid to advertise on ONLY TO FIND OUT that at the end of my contract that I would not be able to purchase that position again because the salesperson messed up and had promised it to my competitor. The "Sr National Sales Director" only had words of "I'm sorry but there's nothing I can do about it". Again, don't waste your money there are more honest ways to advertise! read more

So, this company did absolutely nothing that they said they would. They did not have the carts done on time, they promised I would have all the carts in the store which I did not, they took off my ads 4 months ahead of schedule, they did not have 345 carts in the store to begin with and of the 170 there were my add appeared on 50 or so carts. This was a complete waste of money and a definite scam in the sense I received absolutely nothing they promised, not to mention not even a phone call or email was generated from the $8000.00 I threw away. Unless you like throwing your hard earned cash down the toilet, STAY AWAY from these shysters. Too bad I had to even give one star. read more

Great opportunity to brand any business! Everyone shops so they will see the ads and you will be recognized! read more

Sad to know I have to give this rip off company even a 1 star they deserve a 0. Last July 2018 this Joe Larson guy met me at my office stating that a client of mine begged for them to put my type of business on a cart. 1st of all that was a complete lie. I contacted all my clients to see which one it was so I can send them a thank you gift (as a business owner I take care of my clients) come to find NO ONE referred me. 2nd during our little meeting Larson starts to brag about where he lives and how many flashy cars he has and to top it off he starts to bring the "Lord" into conversation! How JESUS this and that, etc... please Jesus was not a conniving snake. Jesus loved everyone and helped everyone he didn't lie nor took one penny! Instead he Prospered everyone's lives.... sadly, I can't say that for this company. I have not received ONE phone call from this advertisement. What a WASTE of $4000 hard earned money. They wanted $500 monthly payments and they were to start August but wait my add was not going to be up and running until November! When that was said I should have back out.... buuuut I gave this lying company the benefit of the doubt. Then I was promised to receive a welcome banner to place in my off....Guess what till this day I haven't received anything! Also, if you do sign up with them make sure you periodically go check your ad and count how many carts your on. I did, and only found my business was on 4. Not sure where the others magically disappeared to, but when I called to discuss this matter they did not show any concern. Nor did they credit me. Come November I had to lower my payment I called and spoke with Sherri... uhhh omg! Very rude lady. Then Larson call and once again starts to preach, uhh give me a break. Sherri then sends me this threatening email that says I am delinquent..... uhhhh no I am not I am making the amount that both YOU and I agreed on. Letter states that they are going to send me to collections, attorney will get ahold of me, my credit will be ruined and I will be held liable for attorneys fees...... come on people you are not an auto dealership.... Learn to appreciate and love your customers. This company is a pure waste of money. Please do your research and read reviews first don't waste your time and money the way myself and others have. Guess you have to lie to be a successful business. Maybe I should close down because I am honest and care about my clients. read more

Run. Run away as fast as you can. Kimberly Hansen is the sales rep who I met with. Who I met with because she was deceptive and lied in order to get a meeting with me. I should have listened to my gut and walked out the door. Lesson learned. Every client I get, I ask how they found me. In 8 months, and $2,350.00 later, not ONE SINGLE CLIENT has been referred to me through this scam of a company. I wish I had done my due diligence before signing. A little research goes a long way...and a lot of money saved. read more

UPDATE Apparently they don't like the honest review of my brief experience with this company and feel they can bully me into removing it. Bottom line, I have a voice and have every right to share my experience. This review is NOT about the people who I worked with. They are doing the job that the company is training and paying them to do. Calling me saying "You don't know what you did this to man. He's our top seller blah blah blah." When I didn't even mention anyone by name..." I only know this company based on my experience, and how it made me feel. It made me feel uncomfortable. That is not his fault - it's the fault of the company. The sales tactics you use are gross. The company needs to make a change. Instead of calling ME - you should have called your salesman. He might be your top seller for 12 years - but clearly he needs new training on how to tell when a customer is saying "no." There was clearly no option at that table and he was not going to let me leave until he had my money and a contract. No matter what I told him. I can't afford it. I don't have the money. This is supplemental income. I would love to do this but I can't because business is slow. You even admitted on the phone when you called me to slap my wrist about leaving a review that he was "concerned." If he was so concerned, an honest and ethical salesman would have said, "You know I can tell this isn't a good fit for you right now. Let's review this opportunity for the future." But no that didn't happen. His commission was more important. I ended up signing a contract and giving out my financials when I didn't want to. Instead of calling me, you should be calling your salesman. Telling customers you can set up a meeting but you have to tell him yes or no, he doesn't like anything else. That tells me everything I need to know and should have been the first red flag. This review was not about the contract. Which I knew would be cancelled because I know my rights. It's about ethics. I'm sorry to read all these reviews from people who are out their money. I posted my review in hopes to help someone else in the future... This company needs to review the Federal Trade Commission Laws. The Seller Must Tell You About Your Right To Cancel By law, the seller has to tell you at the time of the sale about your right to cancel. The seller also must give you Two copies of a cancellation form. One copy is for you to keep. The other copy is to send to the seller if you decide to cancel your purchase. A copy of your contract or receipt. The contract or receipt should be dated, show the name and address of the seller, and explain your right to cancel. Note: The contract or receipt must be in the same language that's used in the sales presentation. I only received one copy of my "order." So I cannot mail them a copy. It's okay I own a copy machine. Also, these old slimy sales techniques don't work anymore. I said "No" at least 5 times and my sales person kept pushing. I'm a rape survivor. Not good business. I would hate for this to get to the media or in the hands of the me too movement. If a person says "no!" their voice matters more than your commission. Additionally the woman who set up the sales meeting informed me that "It's really great advertising for only $395!" Come to find out the $395 is the initial fee for ad creation. Then you have to pay $450-$600/month for 8 months after that. I already lost one business due to COVID. It's a shame that scams like this exist in this day and age. Lastly, after leaving my sales meeting, I posted on social media. I am a member of 36,000 member Facebook group with other individuals in my field. I asked how many have done this type of advertising and actually received a return on their investment. Every single person who commented saying they got sucked into this, had big fat ZERO return and it was a waste of money. Additionally, I posted a poll for my friends to ask how many times any of them had ever purchased a product or service from a shopping cart. They all said ZERO! So I'm mailing this "Company" my certified letter informing them of my 3 day right to cancel, and I cancelled my debit card. My "NO!" matters. Your "NO!" matters. If you're looking to cancel within your cooling off period, here's the steps to take (from the FTC Website) Note: You don't have to give a reason for canceling. You have a right to change your mind. To cancel a sale, sign and date one copy of the cancellation form. Mail it to the address given for cancellations. Make sure the envelope is postmarked before midnight of the third business day after the contract date. If the seller didn't give you cancellation forms, write a cancellation letter. It must be postmarked within three business days of the sale. Send the cancellation form or letter by certified mail. You'll get a return receipt so you have proof of when you mailed it and when it was delivered. Also, keep a copy of the letter or cancellation form for your reco read more

I was completely scammed by this "company " here in Vegas. They pretended to install my ads and then the next day supposedly the carts were all replaced get they continued to charge me when none of my ads were even out there. I told them I'd like to cancel as I clearly was scammed and they willl not allow it and gave now charged me triple this month when they were supposed to delay payments. This company is disgusting and I would love to put together a class action law suit to get them shut down. All they had to say for themselves was the contract was non cancelable no matter if they deliver or don't. Worst experience possible ZERO STARS read more

Cartvertising made it easy for the local customers to remember me by placing ADS on shopping carts at my local supermarket. Henry is the best salesman in California, questions? 323-333-7773 you can contact him today. read more

I used Cartvertising for 3 years to market my clinic, each year adding more stores and more ads on carts. The last year (2019) I was with them, I decided to actually track the number of customers from this marketing scheme. Turned out only less than 1% of clients came from this, while I infested the most in this scheme. I put out an A-Frame sign on the corner, and got more than 3x as many clients from that sign alone. When the ad sales lady wanted me to sign up for a 4th year, I told her exactly this information, she didn't handle it well and hung up on my while I spoke. Cartvertising has been a major waste of money, has profited me none, I'm tens of thousands in the hole from this, and is not worth it. I'd rather invest in a spin sign for a highschooler to spin in the curb, will likely work better than this joke of a business that is Cartvertising. s.r. read more

Cartvertising does a really great job of giving exposure and and brand awareness to local businesses in their communities.

Ineffective product. Weak customer support. No contact from the rep unless billing dept was pressuring him. Didn't get 1 single new customer (It's now been 1 whole year... 365 days... 52 weeks... 8700 hours). No ROI. 3 words: Waste. Of. Money. $4000 lesson learned. read more

Too bad I have to give a star at all. The experience has been terrible. I was pitched exclusivity in a very specific niche in my area at two stores. I go grocery shopping one day and it is packed with a competitor's brand so I check the other store and immediately email. I have photo evidence that neither store is exclusive! At first, they responded about a mess-up and apologizing but then never followed up. I sent 5 unanswered emails over 6 weeks to the regional sales manager, my rep, and a logistics person. After several unanswered emails, I demanded they not take out another payment until I get a response, but out came the money anyway. Finally, after stopping my cc payments and contacting a lawyer, they respond. Their BS excuse is that the carts travel back and forth between the two stores I have exclusivity with...how does that make sense? Did I mention that there are 3 of us in this niche too and it is not just a single competitor's brand? I want to sever the contract, stop advertising and get a refund, they want to "make it right" by extending my advertising time. No thank you! To me, business is about trust and there is none... I do not wish to associate with this company any longer. RUN! read more

I was first contacted by someone who must have researched my company on the internet, more-than-likely Yelp. I have a lot of 5 star reviews and I am still in the beginning stages of my company. The individual who contacted me was, from the research I conducted on the internet, a hired secretary who just calls as many small businesses as possible to set up appointments for the salesman. If the salesman doesn't have any leads, none of their slimy representatives get paid. I really was interested. I accepted the appointment and a salesman (Regional Sales Manager to be exact) by the name of Daniel (Dan) Jason came to my office. He insisted he was not a salesman. In actuality, he was the worse kind and I will tell you the facts of why. I was very busy and he knew it. He said the presentation would not be long (red flag for a quick buck), and he would be out of my hair. His powerpoint presentation on his notepad was consisted of normative facts (basically meaning there was no proof what-so-ever) and a few flashy advertising terms like, "Top of Mid Awareness." During our small talk he told me he used to own about 20 homes and lost them all. He said, in a very greedy way, "I have to pay my $4500 mortgage somehow." His whole demeanor was slimy. My gut instinct was to send him off. I wish I had. After the presentation, I was told price and length of terms. I immediately thought it was too much and he said because I donate to the Wounded Warrior Project he would give me a discount. What a great guy (sarcasm). I decided to sign up. An honestly, just as soon as he left I thought to myself, "What did I do?" This was later in the afternoon. The very next morning I text and call Daniel Jason to cancel. He texts back that I already signed and there was nothing he could do. I text back that it has only been about 12 hours and I don't want anything to do with this. Again, he texts me back that he has zero influence on the decision and that he had to cancel 2 appointments after mine the day before. By me canceling, he said he would have to call those cancelled appointments and reschedule but they would be upset because of the rescheduling and it was a waste of time for him. I told him that was not my problem. He replied, "I really don't care what happens from this point on. I don't have any influence to cancel this contract. You signed it and it's non-cancellable." I was furious! All this happened on a Friday and Saturday. I called the main office in Houston, TX on Monday and they were no help at all. Just as rude and unfriendly as Dan Jason. A gentleman I spoke to did not even want to give me his name. Later I was told his name was Rob. No last name was given. I contacted the main office all that week with no response what-so-ever. Finally, I wrote a nasty email and I finally received a response - from a graphic design person. I told them in an email of my situation and even they indicated that I could revoke the contract. The said specifically, "until we get notice of a voided contact, we will work with you." I complained to them and they finally directed me to Donald Smith, Customer Service Manager. He was completely rude and argued with me for about 20 min. I should have stopped the petty argument about semantics and told him I was going to get a lawyer. Instead, he skillfully argued about things that did not matter such as what I said and why I signed. Who cares what I said and why I signed. The fact is, I DONT WANT THIS. I told him too, "Why did it take so damn long to get a response from your company. That is not the type of customer service I would expect after paying $3000!!! Yes, $3000 for 6 months. What a joke! He threatened to send me to collections and did not care. I told him he was a typical american that was living the dream of someone else's hard earned income. Obviously, he did not care about me or my business. He was incredibly rude. It has been about 2 months since the ads have been placed on the shaping carts at Safeway in Lodi. Take a wild guess as to the "Top Of Mind Awareness" results - ZERO! The only call I received was - get this - from a Cartvertising salesman from the next city over. Do yourself a huge favor and do not get involved with these guys. They are the most unfriendly, rude, and greedy people I have dealt with in a while. I was blinded by a false hope that it might work. Let me tell you, No, it will not. Anyone know if this constitutes as a class action lawsuit? I have read many, many bad and similar reviews about this immoral company. read more

100% Gimmick I was pressured into believing that this ad deal would send me business on top of business, not only have I yet to recieve one call, my ad was placed upside down in some carts and was also shorted ad prints. SPEND YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE read more

I wanted to update my review. I am now one year in to my contract. This was by far the worst company I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. They absolutely hands down do not care about the client at all. YOU as the business owner are a sale and that's it. I just made my last payment for the contract signed me up for. Guess how many sales I received? Zero. But as the business owner I am responsible for my sales right? After all its not this companies Job to sell for me. Well lets see how many leads I had? Right, Zero. At the end of the day it was a terrible investment. The wasted money hurts but it happens. What I really cant get over is how this company handles them selves. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. read more

This company has absolutely horrible customer service. They are very misleading and don't care about their customers. I am a Real Estate Agent that was sold advertisement on 1/2 of the front of carts and 1/2 of the back of the carts. When the ads came out I found out I only had a ¼ of the carts and they sold a competing Real Estate Agent the other ¼ of the carts. When called and complained, they did NOTHING and could care a less that they had an unhappy customer. The sales rep all the way up the chain to the top could care a less about their customers. This isn't the way you should do business. STAY AWAY from them or make sure your contract is clear that you are exclusive. That's what they pulled on me that I did not sign an exclusive agreement. I wish I read all of the complaints about this company before I decided to do business with them! Buyer BEWARE! read more

Worst company I've ever dealt with, complete scam, taking advantage of new business owners by practically making you sign a contract on the spot without being able to do research first because they claim if you do not sign it now the spot will be filled because they are meeting another client, many people have said this, I canceled my contract immediately after and with NO advertising or anything done on their end as it was within the first few weeks and they said there was no way out of the contract, I was then contacted by a lawyer and all in all I paid $900 for absolutely nothing but they also tell you there is no way out of your contract and there is, these people did nothing for me at all except send their rep to (my house) and force a contract on us when we were not yet educated on their service's and they still swindled money from us when we had just opened a brand new business, do not let these people con you into this they are very unprofessional and the whole service is a scam to get you to sign a non binding contract, trash people. read more

This was a bad idea for our small business. We spent over $2,000 and the result was a big fat nothing. We believed a fast talking salesman. Save your money if you are a small business. We survey every new client and not one came from the money spent. And you don't end up on every cart - something like 1 in 6 which was not very much. We learned an expensive lesson. read more

Salesperson used high pressure tactics with a manager at one of my fitness centers, saying he needed payment information to reserve our space while she got authorization from me. We decided to move forward, but the sales person said he processed the order. We made the initial 2 payments and then it was suppose to end. We are on month 5 now of charges to our card.

I CANNOT WARN YOU ENOUGH, DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY FOR ADVERTISING. Based on our experience, we highly regret signing up for this program.  There is a lot to get into for this review.  If nothing else, please DON'T SIGN UP. We were approached by their regional salesperson, Nancy, without an invitation. She showed up one day saying she had this great opportunity for us. We had literally JUST opened our new store a couple weeks before the pandemic hit, so things were financially tight as it was. It seemed like a good idea to get our ad in front of shoppers, but we were hesitant to drop that kind of money. And it was a yearly contract. RED FLAG # 1. NEVER sign up for advertising programs that lock you into a contract, especially not a long term contract. She talked to us for about an hour.  Finally, we said we would consider the opportunity and get back to her. She said we had to make a decision today. RED FLAG # 2. NEVER fall for the "must do it right now!" tactic. Unfortunately, we did. The cost of this program is thousands of dollars. This is expensive for a small business with only 3 employees. We did our own artwork and sent over the proofs for printing. The person in charge of our account accepted our artwork and then we waited. And waited. No response. RED FLAG #3 was COMMUNICATION. We finally contacted them and inquired when our ads would be installed. They said they had already been done a week ago. They should have told us that it was done the moment it was completed. There were several times we sent e-mails with our questions and artwork, and were met with silence. We felt that we were not a priority to them once we had signed the contract. By the time 6 months started to come around, we looked at our overall performance and we received a grand total of ZERO inquiries.  There were ZERO customers calling about the ads, asking about our business, walking in to see what it was.  There was NOTHING. We had received no follow-up from Cartvertising at any time during our contract.  They never bothered to e-mail or call to even see if we were doing ok, liked our ad, or anything like that. Our so called "rep" Nancy hadn't communicated with us since we signed on the dotted line. So it is around this time for us to change out our ads.  It is around 2 weeks away from December and we still haven't heard from ANYONE. We finally reach out asking when we were supposed to have the new ad in.  They informed us that it's due in 5 days if we want to change it out. This is more than just lack of communication, we felt that they had COMPLETELY ignored us. Now we had to come up with a new ad, get it approved and ready for print in 5 days. At this point we were furious. We requested to speak to Nancy and see if there is any way that we could end the contract there at the 6 months instead of replacing the ad since they are going out there to change them anyway. Again, we heard NOTHING from them. Our rep was nowhere to be found. The person we talked to sent her emails and CCed us, but we still heard nothing from Nancy.  This made us feel that Nancy was not caring about our concerns at this point. After all, we are locked into a contract. So we bite the bullet and come up with a new ad, one that incorporated coupons, hoping SOMEONE will call in. After almost an entire year of ZERO communication, we get a call from Nancy. This was sadly typical from a rep that seemed to only be concerned with making his or her quota. It's time to follow up with customers for renewals. We made sure to let her know everything we have been going through and that we definitely weren't interested in renewals. She proceeded to ARGUE with us saying that this kind of advertising wasn't trackable and that basically we just have to trust the system.  Had she bothered to mention this detail to us, we might not have signed the contract.  No businessperson is going to make an investment if they are not going to see any data of the gains that have been made. Finally, we told her it didn't matter, because we didn't have ANY return of investment to validate the spending. It was simply too much money. Instead of saying OK and moving on, she continued ARGUING with us that it wasn't expensive at all. We don't know how else to tell someone that thousands of dollars on a useless ad is EXPENSIVE FOR A SMALL BUSINESS.  It was insulting to listen to someone that had no vested interest in our business tell us we could afford this.  Her persistence was not professional. In conclusion, we feel that this program was a complete WASTE OF MONEY, WASTE OF TIME, SERIOUS LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM, and sadly, EASY TO GET SCAMMED. Please don't do it. read more

Spend your money somewhere else because here it will be a total waste. With other forms of advertising I at least receive a phone call here or there, with these carts NOTHING. Can't wait until my contract is up to CANCEL it. read more

Joe Larson begged me to stay and hour and a half over closing time to talk me into signing up. I told him I was a young single mom awaiting a neck fusion surgery and that I could not afford $2,400 to put my picture on some carts. He told me that I would get so much business from it that it would pay for itself and my ad would be on every Savemart cart. I went to Savemart everyday. It took me close to 2 weeks to ever see my ad. I was taking pictures of the carts everyday and rarely ever see my own ad. Same with family, friends and coworkers that are there constantly. No one has ever mentioned the ad and I've not one customer say they saw it (we ask everyone). I called they told me I'm only on 20% of the carts. I tried to complain and got no response for over a month (but they were still taking money out of my account). I canceled payment and told them. Got called immediately telling me they were going to ruin my credit and make sure their attorney got ahold of this so they can take me to court over My last payment of $600. No solution, just straight to threats. She immediately emailed letting me know their attorney was going to go after me. I WOULD NEVER EVER RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO ANYONE. It is a huge rip off, it's so sad they couldn't even try to make it right. read more

Worthless advertising, had to really look to find the paid advertisement on the carts had three customers actually go to the store and look for the add and had a hard time finding let alone see. Office help sucks they don't even know the difference between an invoice and a statement. really a low class act without much to peddle but make you think your getting something of value. Get more out of toilet seat advertising in a public restroom when you only get a look if you lift it. read more

This is a "gimmick" for business owners and a profit for salesmen and their commision! Look I live in Sacramento and tried this. The salesman met me in a flippin Jack in the Box and his name was "JOE". Then add the so called negotiation, the "I" sale this to people like " You! " is just another sham. What was worse is that the salesman placed and submitted the advertisement backwards and in the wrong spot! I goes to show you its like Clark Pest Control. They can sell you a lead but the results are below par. read more

Do not waste your money, I fell to check reviews before buying this advertising, I didn't get one client for a whole year that I pay for this service when I lost my job because COVID 19, I call customer service to see if they can help me because I could pay the bill, Shery informs me that they couldn't do anything about it, they don't care that I lost my job, and I better pay or they will send me to a collection agency, they are super nice before they get there money but after they got it, YOU don't matter anymore. read more

Worst customer service support ever!One day i had a phone call from one of the sells rep agent so call Mike abusau something like that. If he can come over to my property. He had something to tell me about my business that can make me all kinds of money's! He had promised me that i have a month to tryout & there is no pressure. If for some reasons if i don't feel that it is working out for me. No questions ask if i was to cancelled! I was like wow not bad to tryout. So me & my wife we gave it a shot because it sounded so good! The sells rep he is so so freaking good with lying scam! He had us both fell for it. He never advise us of any of the additional charges nor the cancellation. Our ads was supposedly up on October 2016 at our merced food max location. It wasn't put up until late November 2016. Since our ad wasn't up on behalf of within the promised time & date. I've tried to cancel within the month but no success because i couldn't get through to a customer service agent or rep. I've tried calling the company numerous times but all i got was run around then put in holds then hang up on me several times! When i finally got through & spoke to one of the guy from human resource Bill krochat with cartvistin. I had asking him to cancel my ad. He had told me that it was too late to cancel because i had signed a year contract. There is nothing him or anyone could of done for me at the times. To all peoples out there with small to big businesses! Don't waste your money or times with cartvitisin scam! It doesn't work because almost a year still no phone call from the ad. STAY AWAY FROM CARTVITISIN SCAM! read more

Sorry that I have to give this as a 1 star, because they deserve a zero star. Don't waste your money on this advertising. It sounds good, but it produces zero results. I'm busting my own ass to drive people into my business just to pay for this advertisement. They have brought me zero customers and want to take credit for all my new costumers that I have done on my own. Cartvertising better never walk into my business again since it would end Badly for them. I wasted my money and I hope people will wise up on their scam. If they come into my business again I will shove my little cart up their a$$. Beware build your business on your own and save your money. I want to keep writing but I'm getting madder with each key stroke. So tell them to f@@@ off if they walk into your business. read more

BUYER BEWARE doesn't even begin to let you know how unprofessional and misleading this company can be. A very nice salesman came into our shop and went over advertising prospects. We let him know that the idea of grocery cart advertising at the local grocery store, 3 miles away, seemed to be a good idea. After lots of positive reinforcement from the salesman, we signed the contract. The problems began when we received the first bill, before we had seen or approved the ad copy. That was when we realized that our ads were going to be in a store, in a neighboring town, many miles away from our shop. We called the company and requested that the ads be sent over to the local store that we had talked about. There are 3 stores closer to us that could have been used for our signs. Even though the signs had not even been produced we were told that moving the signs was not going to happen, "they can't do that". Very uncooperative, almost rude. We were reminded that we had signed a contract and that, even though we were unhappy about where the signs would be placed, full payment was expected. Payments have been made, so we were surprised when we were notified that we were past due. (where are our payments going?). Again, they were difficult to reach and when they did return calls, were very uncooperative. They keep reminding us that they have a SIGNED contract. Her emphasis was on "signed". Interesting, considering that we have made 3 payments and yet the signs have not been produced or placed. So, we are unhappy with their unwillingness to work with us on the change of location, and they, apparently, could not care less. It's difficult, as a small business, to pay so much for advertising that will not benefit us, as was originally promised. I should have read the reviews first, because I've now noticed that this company has no end of bad reviews, similar to ours. My advice would be that if you decided to deal with Cartvertising, make sure that you are very careful before signing a contract, because once they have your name on that contract, you will receive NO customer service or concern if you are an unhappy customer. You will, however, be reminded that they have a "Signed Contract". read more

I've gotten to know the local Wisconsin rep through mutual business partners and he's a great guy. Honest and ethical are the best way to describe John. We are now considering using this service due to the glowing reviews I've heard from business owners. One of them is a realtor and I've seen her ad on the carts at Copps for what seems like forever. Good concept with a great rep!! read more

STOP, Don't spend your money! They are deceptive from the very beginning, the sales person is not employed by Cartvertising. We were told that they would design our cart ad, which was a complete joke. Then our ad was to begin running in December of 2017 which they started billing for in October. Our ad in one store NEVER started, because the store changed the style of their carts. The second store started in March until this store changed their carts in June!!!! Again, NO AD and they are still billing us for product that was not delivered. Have tried repeatedly to contact the company and guess what....Crickets! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! read more

Aside from being an overpriced service that has non-existant results, the company seems to act more like a collection company than anything else. I had an employee tell me that the reason we couldn't adjust my agreement terms was because it had been more than 6 months since the agreement started. After double-checking my contract, I realized it had only been 5!! Yet they still wouldn't budge on changing my agreement terms. The employee blatantly lied to me!! This all happened in the same conversation by the way. read more

I have used them for 2 years now and they are a great company to work with. Very friendly salesman and the ads look great. Their design people work with you to ensure the ad is exactly what you want before they print it. I highly recommend it! read more

It has been a nightmare working with this company. Not only did their salesman misrepresent the terms of the contract, he never showed me that the terms were on the back page! I called several vendors and asked them about their experience with this company. All of them said it was a waste of money. I tried to get out of the contract little more than one hour after my meeting with the salesman. They have stonewalled me. If you get a call from this company....HANG UP! read more

We were excited at first at the sales person that visited us. But once he started in on his sales pitch, it all of a sudden had nothing to do with us but him and how he made his millions. Not by using Cartvertising but by other means... We are a SMALL business just getting started and fell for this. After talking to a few people that have used this company for advertising convinced us that it would be a bad idea at the moment. When I stopped the auto payments from my bank the gal I had dealt with for the design who by the way was sweet and very personable turned into a rude bitch. I was threatened to be turned over to their attorneys etc. They had already taken $1000 from me and I feel it's enough to just forget the whole thing. But no, I get calls after calls to get me to change my mind.... Ugh... I explained the slow business we were experiencing and they would put us out of business if we continued to let them auto remove money from our bank.. They didn't care.... I hope anyone who opens a new business does not use this company to advertise.... Use your local papers, coupon books etc...... Signed ... Unhappy... read more

Met with Ken "the cart guy" today about advertising and it was a great meeting! He was very patient and gave us the time we needed to make the right decision! Excited to be advertising with Cartvertisin! read more

I wish I had read these reviews before falling for this scam. Absolute waste of money! Sales person promised the world and didn't deliver on anything. It has been months and I still have not received a count as to how many carts I am on nor have I received an actual sample of the ad. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY, this does NOT work. When I called the main office I was told 'Oh no, you won't get any sales from this, but in 2018 people will come in and say that they saw you on the shopping carts". Really? WTF is that? He also said that these type of print ads don't work. Really? I've advertised in magazines and such and they work. So just your carts are worthless!! read more
