We offer our advertisers tips and guidance on how to write effective articles and create direct response advertising. We offer typesetting services so you don't have to design the ads yourself if you don't want to. We accept files in MS Word, MS Publisher and PDF files.
The Front Cover Rotates Among Advertisers
We like to rotate the front cover among our committed advertisers. This gives everyone a chance to be in the spotlight, for no additional charge. The space is reserved based on advertiser requests or a rotation. Special events like Volksfest traditionally appear on the cover of our August issue. There are two businesses highlighted on the cover of each issue. It's a coveted spot!
Extended Commitment
We aren't looking for advertisers who want to run just one ad and "hope it works". We know that effective advertising takes more than one exposure to your audience. We believe in long term, consistent efforts to communicate your message. Several of our advertisers have been with us since 2004!
Types and Styles of Advertising Opportunities
We have different styles of advertising available to fit all marketing objectives and budgets. Some of our advertisers choose to write a personalized half page article and include images to grab the reader's attention. Others design a typical ad promoting their product or service. And we have some who choose a hybrid of the two. They choose the half page size, but include coupons readers can redeem to draw them into their establishments. We encourage everyone to have a "call to action" and some sort of direct response in their ads and articles. We have several handouts we provide each new advertiser that's filled with with tips on writing effective direct response advertising and headlines that grab attention. We have 3 different sizes: half page, quarter page, and business card sized.
