As we did last year, we are starting by soliciting ads to local businesses by mail. Later we may ask you to follow up in person with businesses who have not responded, if necessary.
A mailing to previous advertisers and potential new advertisers suggested by our members has been prepared, but it’s not too late to reach out to other possible advertisers if you know of some good prospects. Ad orders are due by November 1.
If you have any questions about the ad sales campaign, the easiest way to contact Jill Sauser is to send an email to jill.sauser@gmail.com.
