Each week the Shopper’s Guide offers a lively mix of display and classified advertising, much of which is grouped for easy reading and quick referral. Animals, Antiques & Auctions, Arts & Entertainment, Dining, Health & Wellness, Help Wanted, Home Improvement, Lawn & Garden, Real Estate, Tag Sales are among the sections offered.
We do not charge for routine and composition. There is an additional charge for camera-ready ads prepared for use in other publications. Proofs will be provided when requested – but changes will only be made in the event of typographical errors.
There is no charge for a requested position, nor is it guaranteed. The Shopper’s Guide will make every effort to comply with position requests.
Originals (photos, logos, artwork, etc.) will be held for 30 days after which time we will no longer be responsible for them.
All advertising is subject to approval. The Publisher reserves the right to reject any advertising copy at any time, and acceptance of copy or prepayment does not imply agreement to publish.
The Shopper’s Guide assumes no financial responsibility for typographical errors in advertisements but will reprint the portion of the advertisement in error at no cost. Neither is responsibility assumed for more than one incorrect insertion of the same ad.
