I heard directly from a manufacturer/owner, that his product was reviewed and it was going to be a favorable review. Then he recieved a call from the magazine and they said the only way they could gaurentee the review got published was if he agreed to an advertising contract. He did not and the review was never published.
Will a Full Page Ad Guarantee a Review?
Do you think there is a correlation between the two? Zucable has a full page ad in a major pub. How many months will that have to run to guarantee a review?
