Here is what we are currently going to market at Madman Signs and Reproductions, Inc. We have come up with a means to advertise in a little local paper that we have design and print and will distrubute. It will hold 45 differnt ad we will print 5000 per month 2500 every 2 weeks on different colors, and distubite to over 25 high traffic area for people to be able to get there hnds on it free do the fact that the advertisers pay for it basicly, the cheapest ad is $59 and the most expensive ad is $211 thats all per month. So far the response from friends and family and other buisness owners are great goiing to sign up for sure 5 people tommorrow and we havent even go out and tried to sell it yet that just 5 people with buisness that i know. What's your thoughts on this?

It sounds like a great idea.

You are located in Yorkville, Illinois.
Is this going to be local?? or you looking to expend??
Who does your proof reading??
If you are going to advertise in a little local paper
you want the advertising and spelling to be correct.

I think another member of this site (amynwesley) was starting up a similar thing in the Los Angeles area earlier in the year. She hasn't posted lately, but you can link to her profile and see her threads and contributions -- might be something there that would help or provide ideas. Best wishes.

So you are going to distribute to Yorkville, Montgomery, and Oswego? Are you looking for advertisers only in Kendall County? Why these three specific areas within that county?

Are you managing the advertising for this local paper or are you the local paper? Could you provide us with more information please?

Is it possible to see a copy of what you are doing??

I am interested in advertising in that area. I have several customers in that part of the country.
