I filed yet another Better Business Bureau complaint againt the Tennessean: click here to read the complaint.
For some reason, the BBB closed my previous filing (BBB CASE#: 37047869) the same day it was filed and labled it "resolved." I had not received any communication from either this company or the BBB regarding the first complaint.
I have never been a subscriber to this company's product. I have asked this company very politely to stop throwing their unwanted product and solicitation (Yes! Your Essential Shopper) onto my personal property. I also encouraged them to use legal means such as telemarketing, the U.S. Postal Service or any other service that attempts to make contact with the homeowner. These seem like reasonable options for businesses seeking to build a positive relationship with consumers.
Skipping these legal options in favor of tossing trash onto people's lawns is a poor and desparate business choice that victimizes potential consumers and citizens by littering their personal property and neighborhoods. Ignoring Home Owners Association rules on solicitations in the process is an entirely different issue all together. I can't think of a single company that finds this business practice acceptable except for this company.
The following businesses paid the Tennessean to throw this unwanted product onto my personal property:
Lilly Pulitzer
Macy's
Urban Outfitters
HH Gregg
Publix
Kohl's
Papa John's
Rite Aid
Wolf Camera & Image
Electronic Express
If I bagged up a few pages of a coloring book promoting my blog and tossed it onto Tennessean Editor Mark Silverman's front lawn every weekend, I think he'd understand what a nuisance his company is when they engage in this poor business practice.

Just overheard him scamming another customer. Both the other customers and I will be filing complaints tonight with the BBB. Going on three and a half weeks, and still haven't got my problem resolved.

My name is Roseann Higgins. In 1994 I was the first to combine professional matchmaking and executive search or executive recruiting. I go to events to find the true loves for the most eligible men in America. I created my own job title: romance headhunter™ and started hitting business, charity, social, sporting, educational, leadership, executive events, for the top echelon leaders to the best singles event of the year in Arizona - the Phoenix Open. I've met 70,000 people and hand-selected laser precision perfect matches for my clientele. It's resulted in a marriage an average of every six weeks since 1994. Each person who wants to hire me goes through my detailed information gathering process so I can determine the likelihood theirs is a search I can deliver on. I have to ensure the man wants the type of girls I want to introduce (keepers who can love and support him for who he is as a person and not how much money he has and and I have to feel a high probability - with his looks and the whole package he has is - that when I call the girl of his dreams, she will say YES, too! If you know who my secret clientele were, you'd admire them and my company. They are good people who work hard at everything they do...family, workplace, community, fitness, friendships and relationships. Everyone I introduce is going to be a great partner in a relationship and marriage! I have introduced a marriage an average of every six weeks since 1994. With ony 5 divorces, these couples have a 96% happily ever after rate, which is <4% divorce rate. The US divorce rate leads the globe at 50%. I am extremely dedicated to leaving the biggest gift to the world...true love.
My then 22-year matchmaking service SPIES Single Professional Introductions for the Especially Selective™ is the first matchmaking service in 2015 to become a Finalist in the BBB Business Torch Award for Ethics / Business Ethics Award not only in Arizona but in the entire United States!

See flickr.com/photos/albums/ SPIES Awards for the picture in a beautiful long blue dress with the trophy and the presenters. Pat McMahon noticed and complimented the dress, my friends told me! My heart was racing so I focused on getting the Trophy and getting off the stage safely in my high heels. It was a great reason to wear the dress. BBB
