Advertising

Publication and Distribution: The Stapleton Front Porch (FP) is published monthly with a distribution of over 35,000 copies. The paper is distributed over five to six business days (weather permitting) starting just prior to, or by the first business day of the month. The Front Porch guarantees placement of ads if the terms of the contract are met.

To ensure space, new ad reservations are requested by the 15th of the month—though we do our best to accommodate later requests. Signed ad contracts must be returned by the specified date for the ad to run.

Advertiser agrees to pay the contracted price for the entire contract period. Contracts not completed will lose their contract pricing and be re-invoiced at the full listed rate for all ads that ran.

Confirmation of Monthly Ad Placement

By the 10th of each month, the advertisers with ongoing contracts will receive an email from ChristieMGosch @ gmail.com verifying whether the same ad or a new/revised ad will run in the next issue.

1. •If the advertiser does not respond, the same ad will run.
   

2. •If the advertiser confirms that a new or changed ad is to run, the Front Porch will send an email confirmation of the change.
   

3. •If an advertiser does not wish their ad to run in a scheduled month, the advertiser must notify FP by email on or before the 10th of the month and receive a confirmation.
