Action Ads
Action Ads appear at the top of the newsletter, just below the weather. These are a great way to publicize an upcoming event, a special offer or a timely discount. You can include links. Items that appear in this space tend to get more clicks than anywhere else in the newsletter. The word limit is 50 words.
Price: $125/each or $625/six
