· Our event is not-for-profit. Is there a charge?
Generally, and regardless of whether your organization is not-for-profit, if admission is charged then publicity is charged. The expenses for paper, ink and postage apply even as we donate our labor for your non-profit group. So, if you charge, we charge. Back to top
|
· There is no admission charged to our event. What kind of publicity will you provide?
We will publish a news article about your event no more than two times, once well in advance and again the week of the event. If a business, organization or individual wants an article published more than twice, they must pay to have the article published as an advertisement. Back to top
|
· Do you charge for birthday and anniversary announcements?
Basic information concerning anniversaries, reunions or other celebrations can be printed free of charge. However, birthday messages of a personal nature must be paid advertisements. News articles are not intended to be invitations to attend an event and, thus, should not include such statements as "Friends and family are invited to attend." Invitations and such statements as "The couple requests no gifts, please" are advertising statements. Back to top
