Ad Types

We offer ad sizes and types to fit every budget, from text-only Classifieds to full and double pages. Click on the types listed at right for more information.

Classified Ads

A classified ad is text-only and is usually priced by the number of words. However, in the spirit of bringing as many people through the current economic situation as possible, we are offering - for a limited time - our lowest prices EVER on classifieds: see the Ad Rates chart for flat-rate and per-line classified ads, and super-low prices on Circle Ads.

For information about submitting an ad, read the General Information and Help Submitting Ads.

Circle Ads

A Circle Ad is a classified ad (text only) run in a circle that is 2 3/8" in diameter. The circle can usually hold about 40-50 words, depending on word length, line breaks, and how small you want the type to be. Circle Ads can grab attention because they stand out from other ads. If you have too much text for a circle, we can make the ad a 2 3/8" square for the same price, which holds more text; if we mention a "Square Circle," that's what we're talking about. If you have more than 50 or so words, your ad might look better as a Display Ad (maybe 1/8 page or 1/6 page). For prices, see the Ad Rates chart.

We are offering - for a limited time - our lowest prices EVER on all text ads, including Circle Ads. See the Ad Rates chart.

Photo Square Ads

A Photo Square is 2 3/8" across and has text and usually one photo. A Photo Square usually doesn't hold more than 30-40 words, but it depends on the photo and on how small you want the type to be. The above ad has 36 words. If you want the photo larger, the text needs to take up less space, and vice versa. We don't recommend very small type if you want anyone over the age of 30 to be able to read your ad! If you have more than one photo, or more than 40 words, consider a 1/8-page or larger Display Ad.

For photo requirements and submission information, please see Help Submitting Ads.

Display Ads
Display Ads are ads between 1/8-page and full-page in size, usually have a border, and may or may not have photos or other graphics.

Space Reservations. Display Ads have a deadline for reserving space, as well as a materials deadline when we need your text and photos. For all deadlines, click here.

The Business Box

The Business Box is a boxed text ad that runs for the year (four issues). You may have up to five lines of text, which is centered in a box. The Business Box ads run with the classified ads, but have priority placement under the appropriate heading. You may run a Business Box ad for one issue at a higher proportional cost.

We are offering - for a limited time - our lowest prices EVER on all text ads, including Business Boxes. See the Ad Rates chart.

Please submit Business Box ads by email, then phone 608-232-2922 with credit card payment or mail a check (we do not recommend sending credit card numbers by email). Please indicate line breaks and which text should be emphasized with bold type. Business Box ads may also be mailed or phoned in.
