Better Business Bureau warns businesses about football poster solicitations


The Better Business Bureau is warning North Florida businesses about a company soliciting for High School football posters.
Just two weeks ago, the Better Business Bureau issued an alert about a company called Communities Unlimited, LLC which was soliciting businesses with a questionable sales pitch claiming to sell advertising space on “local city guides” that are purportedly to be distributed throughout the community.
Two chambers of commerce whose members were targeted with the solicitations said they had no ties to Communities Unlimited.
Now the company is at it again, this time they are calling themselves Ads Sports Inc., and selling ads on high school football posters.
The emails are vague, stating that there will be “up to 5,000 posters” sent out in September and that they “are doing all area High Schools.”
The Better Business Bureau is urging small business owners to use caution if possible have the company send some examples of its past work so you can check it out.
Also, find out exactly what kind of exposure your ad will receive and make sure it’s worth the price.
Often times, businesses will shell out big bucks for a small advertisement on a no name online directory or a poorly circulated flyer.
