  • Why do you recommend that the ad run for at least 26 weeks?

    Studies have proven that most readers need to see an ad at least 8 times before they are able to remember or “absorb” the message. Many readers do not actually need your product or service at the time they see your ad. It is to our advertisers benefit that their ad is out on our stands and distributed for the public to read for as long as possible. 26 weeks is the minimum length that we recommend. Advertisers that sign on for even longer plans will receive a better response & results from their ad, due to the long term trust & familiarity their ad creates with our readers. A good ad is like a seed for a fruit tree. Repetition is its water. Weekly consistency is its sunlight. The longer your seed is allowed to grow in the mind of the Public, the greater and greater your harvests will be. What size harvests do you want to see?

  • How do I pay for the ad?

    We accept credit card, cash, ACH or check.  Billing can be paid with monthly installments, quarterly or annually – you choose the Billing arrangement that works best for your budget.

  • Do I need to design the ad?

    Only if you like! Our professional graphic artists will ensure the most effective impact on our readers. You will only provide your logo and the information that you would like included.


    Should you wish to provide your own pre-designed ad, our ad specs are: 3 inches wide X 2 inches high for a single-spaced ad, and 3 inches wide X 4 inches high for a double-spaced ad. Minimum 300 dpi with all fonts & graphics embedded without borders. Please provide the ad in both pdf and jpg formats for use in both print and online.

  • Can I change an ad now and then?

    Yes, there is never a charge for minor ad changes. These can be done over the phone, email or in person.

  • Can I use my business card as an ad?

    Yes, but we recommend against it.  Business cards make good business cards- not effective ads.  We will design an effective ad using your logo and applicable graphics and send to you for any changes prior to beginning your campaign.
