Vision Magazine

We paid this magazine for an ad and they totally botched our article, and their magazine didn’t hit the stands until 12 days after the first of the month.
We tried emailing the owner of this company, calling many times to get a refund, and to this day no response.
We did receive an email from one of the editors at the magazine, and his grammar was so bad I thought I was talking to a little kid — what’s sad is this editor boasted in his email that he was an editor for some major magazine for over 30 years. He tried to give us Tweets and email blasts in lieu of a refund and we said no thank you; with his bad grammar there’s no way we wanted this guy representing us in Tweets and emails (he already botched our article horribly!).
It’s sad that a magazine like this is very accommodating when they’re trying to entice you to use their services for advertising, but when they make terrible mistakes like totally misrepresenting the article that we submitted them, along with not delivering the magazine until almost two weeks later, all the while not returning your phone calls or emails, they are NO WHERE to be found, let alone wanting to do what’s right.
We’ll never advertise with Vision Magazine again, and we’ll be sure and tell our friends who are using them what a terrible experience we have had (and we’ll be sure to let them know how late they were delivering their magazines…)

The best magazine for killing time in random places. Vision shows up when you’re least expecting it. You’re waiting for Korean food and BAM — Vision! You’re sitting around getting your oil changed and the only thing on TV is CSPAN and then POW — kicked in the face with Vision.
Vision not only jumps out at you at the most random locations, but features some of the best articles and advertisements ever, like ancient healing massages for dogs followed by dog bone aromatherapy treatments and How My Sea Monkeys Taught Me To Enjoy the Simple Life.
That’s not to say that this magazine is poorly written or non-​amusing. Quite the opposite. One of the best time killers ever and a reminder that anything strange you’ve ever imagined about the world or yourself someone else has already come up with and is trying to sell you.

I occasionally enjoy a reminder of some of life’s esoteric mysteries interspersed with nudges to a healthier lifestyle for my body, mind, and planet.
That, Vision accomplishes. The unfortunate reality of the «new age» genre is that those categories in and of themselves don’t have enough to sell. Which means there aren’t enough advertisers to support it. Which in turn means the floodgates for drips of all varieties have to be opened.
Vibrational healing, crystal magic, decorative divination doodads, multiple doses of severe anal powerwashing, godesses, bigfoots, ufos, and a host of Atlantean reincarnates. That’ll keep the lights on.
Caveat emptor up the wazoo.
I hold no fault to the people publishing and involved with Vision. I do still think it’s great and provides much to enjoy. I just get a little sad for the desperate and/​or mentally ill, scrambling for a solution that end up in the clutches of the equally desperate and/​or mentaly ill that are lurking about with a tripped out solution to sell. (whew)
Be smart about what you buy into people.
Not everything can be «the truth».
The truth is just a spice peppered into the baloney.
