Never trust a company whos bosses have ZERO Technical knowledge of the product they sell... Here is my story with Promotion Exchange. I get a call from Marlene Mamane, soliciting their services. She said they did Social Media, Web Sites and SEO work. I needed SEO work, but my site, and my social media was just fine. When I said I would entertain a chat about SEO work, they set up an appointment and I came into their office. I had a meeting with Lee Mamane, Marlene's husband. The moment I met Lee, I knew this was going to be a bad meeting. For starters he kept trying to sell me on a new web site, saying that I needed a new web site to make sure that I can run SEO. That is a LIE!!!! Than he kept trying to sell me on Social, but only after my new web site would be done, as he kept saying that none of the social network sites can link to my web site, another LIE. Now of course Lee didn't know my knowledge on Web Services and SEO, but I had a clear day so I thought I would continue the meeting just to entertain myself. Than Lee gives me the biggest and most BS Lie I have ever heard. When I asked for examples of his web work he showed me, but than insisted that all of these Web Sites, created through WordPress Templates, were in house creations, and he insisted that these web sites were "Software". Lee was telling me that all of his web sites were "Software" created just for that client. When I showed him the templates that he bought on the WordPress site, the meeting ended with Lee insisting that he was slightly mistaken and that he has his "own way of saying things". I hate companies like these. They prey on people who have zero technical knowledge. Piece of advice, STAY AWAY FROM LEE MAMANE AND PROMOTION EXCHANGE!!!! read more

These people will come to you, because once you do your research on them, the last thing you will do is call them... So I get a call from Promotion Exchange. They wanted to sell me on Web Site development. I asked them to send me their web site and I will get back to them. So they sent me their URL and I checked out their web site. When looking at Promotion Exchange's Web Site, please keep these things in mind: 1) Nothing of their Portfolio is linked to the sites that they claim to have created. (Are they hiding something?) 2) All they do is repackage WordPress templates, most of which you can get for free on the wordpress site. 3) None of their examples of "Software" have any links to them or the companies that Promotion Exchange claims to have as their clients. 4) If Promotion Exchange claims to do SEO, than why can't they be found using any of the keywords that their site would use, like "Local Marketing" or "Social Media Marketing" or "Web Development", etc... By the way, none of their clients are on search engines either. Simply take the list of their claimed clients on their web site, and cross reference them with google, and you will see that none of their clients pop up using keywords. Of course they will pop up if you search for their names, but that doesn't require any SEO work... 5) They will NOT STOP CALLING YOU!!!! 6) Neither Lee Mamane or his wife Marlene Mamane (The owners of the company) have Zero Technical knowledge of the products they sell. STAY AWAY FROM PROMOTION EXCHANGE!!! Not only will they attempt to confuse you with a really nice looking but lacking content web site, but they will keep calling you no matter how many times you say no... read more

I run a camp in Cambria, CA and have worked with promotion exchange for several years now. We have hired them to help us in our marketing in several different ways. The have always been great to work with, and most importantly, their services have helped us to gain new customers and to improve existing relationships and our brand. We initially began working with PE for direct marketing in Santa Monica and other north LA areas. They allowed us to target specific areas and demos that we wanted to reach, they helped us create nice artwork, and each time we did a direct mail campaign our return was very good. As our services are on the expensive side ($800+), being able to get customers through direct mail was great. Our second dealing with PE was for social networking management. They posted content and managed our facebook and twitter accounts. We were completely satisfied with their service, and our engagement numbers went up dramatically while we were working with PE on social. Currently we just hired PE to write new content for our website. They took genuine time to understand our goals and mission and who we are as an organization. They interviewed former customers to better understand us and what we provide. They wrote beautiful content that is thoughtful, well written, and intentional in making our website show better on search engines for specific keywords we decided on. I completely recommend promotion exchange on both a business and personal level. The people are great and friendly and they also just know what they're doing! If you are a small business looking for someone to help you with marketing these are the people to work with. read more

THESE GUYS WILL FLAG THIS REVIEW, EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE TRUTH. THEY WILL FLAG THIS REVIEW BECAUSE THEY LACK THE PROFESSIONALISM ON SOLVING PROBLEMS. HERE IS MY STORY... (Look at all of the Flagged Posts) Lee Mamane built my web site. Although he said he created it from scratch, I learned afterwards that it was actually a WordPress Template and I was over charged. My web site was promised to be completed in a month, and it took them two months. It was promised by Lee Mamane that SEO would also be included in the price. Now I don't know much about SEO, but after I couldn't find my site using Google I asked Lee about it. Lee told me it takes a few months to get it up the rankings, so I waited. I spent $900 a month with these guys to get SEO work done and NOTHING WAS DONE!! In fact Lee Mamane made it a point NOT to ask me about any of the Keywords that I needed for my SEO process. If I was an expert in SEO, than I would have known to ask why Lee didn't ask for any of the Keywords for my site... Lee talks a good talk, but his actions are left to be desired... STAY AWAY FROM LEE MAMANE AND PROMOTION EXCHANGE!!! read more

The first day I opened my restaurant Benny's Tacos and Rotisserie Chicken, Marlene was there to tell me about marketing and how it could help my business. She sat down with me and explained everything in a way that I understood. She really understands the restaurant business and what I needed to do. That's why I worked with her. I've been working with them since and as my restaurant grew, they were there to help every step of the way. When I decided to go online, they made me a website. I wanted to reach more customers and they printed flyers and wrote blogs about me. When I started delivering food, they made it so customers could order on my website and set it up so that the orders printed out from my laptop. When I became a LAUSD vendor, they pitched my story to local news papers and blogs to get articles written about me. If I ever have a question or see a new way to do business, I ask them and they always listen and figure out if it's a good idea or not for my restaurant. I really like working with Promotion Exchange, they know how to take care of you and your business. read more

This company called Promotion Exchange Inc. (aka www.theluckydeal.com and The Lucky Deal) is a scam, that participates in unlawful business practices. Buyer beware with this company and don't get caught up in the scam. They will overcharge you on simple web development, promising you great things only to produce piss poor results, well not worth the money. Don't let Lee Mamanne the operation manager blow smoke about all the things he says he can do. This man is a charlatan, snake oil con man, that will promise you empty non proven results. Don't let his charm fool you, he's a good talker but lacks the knowledge to provide a great product and service. He is ignorant about the industry, but is eager to take you for a ride. From their overpriced website services to a daily deal, super coupons, sweepstakes scam, this company is truly unprofessional so please do your research and find someone else. In the long run this will save you money, time, and frustration. So you have been warned "Buyer Beware" read more

To "Kim B."... You seem to have an issue, but lack anything specific. Writing a review, and being specific is what this site is all about. What you mentioned was a situation that you may or may not have had, as you have yet to be specific, and with that said its rather unfair of you to put Promotion Exchange in such a light. I have had the pleasure working with Promotion Exchange for over 10 years, and Lee Mamane was the only person in Direct Mail with the foresight to know that the industry was moving away from print and into on line. In fact other companies have followed suite, like Valpack buying Coupons.com, etc... Also "Kim B", why is this your only review? It seems like they might be a competitor of yours, and as many other people do, you wrote a bad review to see if you might be able to curb their business. Shame on You! read more

This is where you go when you want to get RIPPED OFF!!! They truly don't know the industry they are in. Do some homework, and then take one of their calls. I promise you that you will see that Promotion Exchange is full of it! Isn't it odd that a company who claims that they are in the SEO business can't get to the first page of any of their clients? Oh and of course they can build you a web site, but you can do the same thing for little or no money by doing exactly what Promotion Exchange does. Use a WordPress Template! Never trust a company that's owners (They are a husband wife "team") have ZERO technical knowledge about the products they sell... read more

I have trusted multiple companies over the course of 15+ years with Promotion exchange and still continue to see growth by doing business with them. When I started out running a small framing business out of my own home, Promotion Exchange helped me reach enough customers to open my own retail location. Today, Promotion Exchange is still helping me generate increased traffic to both my online website and in store business monthly. Lee and his wonderful staff have never been anything but courteous, helpful, knowledgeable and trustworthy with me every step of the way. read more
