For Advertisers
As you may be aware, the monthly Retail Partners newsletter has become a quarterly—in a new size & shape.
- We will begin archiving Retail Partners on our website in PDF form (see above) —for that much more exposure!
- For the each quarter, we will be running one page of “Member-to-Member” discount coupons. There are just 8 coupons (1/8 pg each) available. Each coupon is ONLY $200 for members only. In addition, our newsletter designer, PRO-Deuce, has offered a special $55 per coupon design fee if you want help. It can be anything of your choosing: 20% family & friends for one week only; 10% off the month of May; free dessert with meal; buy 2 get one free Your offering will be automatically added to the Member-to-Member section of our website. If you need help, let me know. If you are happy with this page, we may do it again….
- You can now provide your own insert that will “travel” with us to almost 1800 members & readers. We are limiting the number of inserts to just two per issue! The cost is $500, plus you provide the inserts. If larger (or heavier) than an 8 ½ X 11 sheet, please contact me to work out any additional postage that may be due.
