Great overall experience

The communication and planning went well. We had a small hiccup with delayed marketing but things got resolved fast and finally started moving in the positive direction. The price was reasonable and I am quite happy with the results as well. They had lots of ideas that we didn't use this time but I am sure I'll be back to place another order with them in the future.Thank you

I am satisfied

I didn't want to limit myself working with a single firm only and got offers from several different ones for my book release. Calculated everything... and still went with this service. I saved about 40% in fees here, and the results are satisfying.

We booked another run with them

We booked another run with them, as the first order was a massive success for us and for our so called 'brand' so we will continue our partnership.They gave us pointers what and how to change. We did a new cover, for digital and paper releases. Some smaller things here and there, but overall it was a very satisfying experience!

Got my books out and sales in

Got my books out and sales in. To put it short, this service works! I guess the numbers depend of what you have... at the end of the day you writing skills matter. You can't expect to do massive sales if your book isn't fine tuned enough.

It took a long time to get things…

It took a long time to get things moving. At the end, everything played out well but this could have been done sooner I think.

If you are divided

If you are divided between doing your own campaigns or hiring professionals then I'd recommend you to go with the pros. I just finished my project with them and the results were much much better than I ever dared to hope. They are amazing!

They get the job done

They get the job done and they do it pretty professionally. It was an eye opening experience for sure and I am glad I didn't proceed on my own like I was planning to in the beginning. Thanks team, it was a pleasure!

All it took was one phone call

All it took was one phone call and I rolled in with their program. They walked me through all the steps and we gave this a green light. 2 months later the service has been completed, I am very happy, they are the best! Thanks!

The service is great

The service is great. If you are a first-time author it's hard for me to imagine you could do without it... I couldn't and they were a lot of help. Thanks!

I just happened to find this company

I just happened to find this company out of the blue, but right then when I needed them the most. I've tried cheap Fiverr services before that have promised to promote my books but they never amount to anything... this was the first time for me to team up with a professional agency and they have been absolutely fantastic!

A strong team with their own ideas, might not always correlate with mine but thanks to them I found the success I was looking for and hey, at the end of the day, they are the experts! Thanks

Too expensive

Even if I don't like the price (it should be lower) I can't complain about the service which is really top-notch. I have been working in this field for years and it's super hard to find reliable people to work with. I guess quality comes with a price but if they could lower the fees then this wouldn't be a 3-star review.

This wasn't my first idea

This wasn't my first idea to go with this service but looking back to it now I think at that time it was the best. They did what they promised and I am happy.

Better results than we were expecting…

Better results than we were expecting and this really makes me happy! The service is priced fairly, I don't think you can find many companies offering the same perks and customer service like they do.
