Studies have proven that most readers need to see an ad at least 8 times before they are able to remember or “absorb” the message. Many readers do not actually need your product or service at the time they see your ad. It is to our advertisers benefit that their ad is out on our stands and distributed for the public to read for as long as possible. 26 weeks is the minimum length that we recommend. Advertisers that sign on for even longer plans will receive a better response & results from their ad, due to the long term trust & familiarity their ad creates with our readers. A good ad is like a seed for a fruit tree. Repetition is its water. Weekly consistency is its sunlight. The longer your seed is allowed to grow in the mind of the Public, the greater and greater your harvests will be. What size harvests do you want to see?
