DEADLINES

Space reservation deadlines are always on Tuesdays. Once you have made a commitment to place your ad in the issue that is on deadline, you may not cancel your ad on the next day or any day before final ads are approved on Friday, unless there are circumstances that warrant a cancellation, which would be determined by the publisher. If you choose not to run your ad after commiting to the run, you will still be charged for the space. This enables us to serve all of our customers better and to make the deadline established by our printer.

DESIGN SERVICES

For customers who need design services, we will gladly design your ads and proof them to you, as well as make changes once you have reviewed the proof. We realize that not everyone has their own design services and we are happy to help.

COLOR

All ads are priced to include full color. There is no discount for running your ad in black and white; however, black and white ads are accepted.
