More Advertising Tips
Call your local newspaper for advertising rates and find out how much it will cost to place a classified ad for one day, one week, or one month. Negotiate the best rate you can! If the price is right, add a photo to each Sunday’s ad.
Before placing your ad, study the classified section of your local newspaper and select the category or township that best suits your needs. Review the available choices with your local newspaper representative.
If hosting an Open House, advertise the hours on the day of your Open House.
Always remember to use bold typeface and capital letters to emphasize our web site, your street address and your phone number!
