Visit the BBB at the Fair
It's
that time of year again! By the time you are reading this, the BBB
staff and board will be manning the Bureau booth at the Iowa State Fair
during its l0 day run, August 9 through August 19. This is a great way
to get the word out to the public and be proactive in sharing
information about membership. With high speed internet access we are
able to offer general information and assistance as well as
specifically address matters relating to a company's Reliability
Report. It is a wonderful opportunity to interact with our members,
consumers, businesses, future members and others to educate them on the
work and activities of the Bureau.

Ad Reviews
Advertising Review promotes truth in advertising to enhance consumer
confidence in businesses that advertise. Following are cases that
represent recent advertising review matters your BBB pursued.
Challenges made by the BBB, using the BBB Code of Advertising, result
from information given by consumers, competitors and through the BBB's
own monitoring efforts. The fact that a particular business responds to
a BBB challenge is a compliment to their willingness to cooperate with
the BBB's self-regulatory process and not to be taken as an admission
of impropriety on any advertiser's part.
