My last email to patch.com:
Is there a reason for ignoring multiple emails from an advertiser? Patch has minimal reach and makes news announcements well after others, rendering them useless most of the time. After a number of paid ads, there was zero return on ad spend. I continued to take out ads on Patch despite that.
So it is surprising and disappointing to not even get a reply after multiple reminders. It just speaks of the poor quality of this organization.
