Next to word-of-mouth, Permission Marketing is the most relevant and effective advertising, with the highest ROI for advertisers.

When prospects and customers ASK to be marketed to about your business, you cut out the middle man -- which means you can grow your revenues and relationships, directly and independently.

If you could text a message this minute to 500 customers and prospects who asked to hear from you, what would you communicate to them? Do you have some excess inventory you'd sell at a bargain? Want to poll them about a new product? Remind them about an important store event?

Toppers: Three New Premium Positions Created for Print Edition of River Cities Reader

We can't claim it's our idea, but we liked it immediately when we saw it.

By running one 4 page section taller than the rest of the publication, three new exciting premium advertising positions will be available beginning with the March 17, 2011 edition of the River Cities' Reader print publication.

Your 1" tall 10" wide color print ad can appear on top of the front or back page and your 1" tall x 21.5" wide color print ad can appear in the center spread -- all on high bright white thicker page stock. 

See the examples below and phone or email your Reader Account Executive for pricing and weeks available moving forward.
