Rates & Instructions
Submit ads by sending email with all your information to classifieds@intowner.com.
All straight line ads appear on our web site in addition to being published in the print edition. The cost for these is as follows: $5.00 minimum charge for up to 10 words and 50 cents per word thereafter, whether business or non-busines s ads. The same rate applies to nonprofit organizations. Phone numbers, e-mail addresses (and URLs), as well as abbreviations count as single words. All-capitalized and/or bold-faced words are charged at the rate of 75 cents each — except that the first 2 or 3 words of each ad are automatically set as all-caps bold at no extra charge. Thus, when composing your ad, it should be written so that those first words clearly state the main selling point being emphasized.
All Ads Must Be Prepaid Before They Are Run
If ad runs 4 or more consecutive months there is a 10% discount; 15% if run for an entire year. When placing an ad, be sure to include your mailing address and both day and evening telephone numbers. It is very important that we be able to reach you if we have a question about your ad at the time it is being typeset (which can be during evening hours); when we are on press deadline time is critical.
For an additional service charge, ads may be charged to American Express, VISA, or MasterCard; these charges will appear on your credit cards bills as being from “Management Office,” not from InTowner. If paying by check or money order, make payable to “InTowner Classifieds.”
We do not automatically provide proof of publication. If you wish to be sent a tearsheet for this purpose, we will do so, but only upon receipt of a stamped, self-addressed envelope (”SASE”) and payment of an additional $1.00.
The InTowner reserves the right to edit for clarity and to use appropriate abbreviations if necessary to fit available space. The InTowner also reserves the right to reject or cancel any ad for any reason at its discretion. Neither the InTowner Publishing Corporation nor its publisher, editor, employees, or representatives can be responsible for the content of any ad.
Display Classifieds
Display Classifieds are ads with a border around them. (On our web site these ads will appear in “straight line” format only.) At the advertiser’s option such ads may have centered and highlighted text elements not normally available in standard classifieds. Space for these ads is sold at the rate of $25 per column inch (columns are one-and-a-half inches wide), with the minimum being one-inch deep; additional space may be purchased in quarter-inch increments. Art work may be incorporated under certain conditions subject to a set-up charge. The advertising office must be contacted for a price quote before payment is sent for the reason that we cannot know the final ad size until the text is set by the computer. Payment terms for Display Classifieds are the same as for regular classifieds, as outlined above.
Errors & Omissions
We strive to avoid errors, but if one should occur, advertisers must notify us by telephoning the business office at (202) 234-1717 (or by e-mail at classifieds@intowner.comwithin 10 days of publication. We will either publish a “make good” in the next month’s issue at no charge or provide credit, whichever is appropriate. No credits or adjustments will be made, however, if the error does not materially affect the meaning or utility of the ad.
