Complaint Review: Priceless Moments Marketing

I joined this network of professional photographers thinking that Priceless Moments run by Scott Morris would help to grow my photography business by giving me access to exclusive customers looking for a wedding photographer.

Scott Morris informed me that for each store that I paid a monthly fee for access to engagement ring customers would yield a specific number of GUARANTEED referrals, and if I did not receive that number of referrals by the end of my contract then I would be paid $10 for each referral that I did not receive.  Well I was promised 50 referrals for one of the stores I paid to have access to, but only received 4 referrals for that store.  By my calculation I should have gotten a pay out of $460 but was only offered a check for $100.

When I was first approached by Scott Morris of Priceless Moments Marketing he said the initial investment would only be a $22 application fee.  Then after being accepted into the program I was REQUIRED to purchase 300 poor quality postcards to be placed in the jewelry stores that I paid an additional monthly fee in order to have access to their customers who purchased engagement rings.  I was also asked to purchase out of my own pocket display signs that would go in each of the stores. 

Then I was asked to make regular visits to each store in order to "make nice" with the sales reps to insure that they would be sending me the contact information of the customers purchasing engagement rings.  I pay a monthly fee for this!! but now I have to put out gas money, take time away from my regular customers, and bring gifts to the jewelry store in order for them to comply with the contracted service that I am paying for... Makes No Sense!!

In addition to wasting my time, and filtering money down a black hole purchasing sub-par marketing materials I was required to pay an additional monthly fee to an online proof site so customers could view the free photos I spent my blood, sweat and tears capturing and editing without so much as a thank you or an offer to purchase anything more than the FREE print in the offer.

My own marketing efforts yields a much better return with far less out of pocket expense or the stress of kissing up to a bunch of folks who never had the best interest of my company at heart in the first place.

One can do bad all by themselves.
