Gaining Momentum

BCV Deals appears to be the digital front for 'Best Coupon Values', a legitimate direct-mail marketing business in Central Florida (operated by Genius Advertising since ~1996) with verifiable YouTube sponsorships. However, the submission quality is extremely poor, containing red flags such as the 'Surgical Devices' business type, the pseudonym 'IronFang', and hyperbolic claims ('most people have used my product'). While the 800,000+ circulation is plausible for a regional mailer, the project lacks digital innovation and relies on a traditional model.
