TO: People who do business with Harsens Islanders
FROM: The HARSENS ISLAND FLYER
DATE: April 23, 2010
The ad deadline for the Memorial Day edition is just one month away! Oh, how the years go by!
I am keeping the ad prices the same AGAIN... knowing that everything from real estate to retail is still struggling. There are 15 weeks in this years FLYER season, beginning on Friday, May 28 (Memorial Weekend), with the 4th of July edition distributed on Friday, July 2, ending on Fri-Sat, September 3-4 (Labor Day). There is a 10% discounted rate available for those who pay upfront, in full, for the entire season.
I have already clipped many articles from the eventful winter, and received many calls from new advertisers. For such a little island, there is no lack of things to write about or folks wanting to advertise. The people of HarsensIsland look forward to (and many even depend on) the FLYER for news, service and business information. For those of you who are receiving this letter for the first time, we print and distribute an average of 1500 papers, free of charge, to the residents and visitors of HarsensIsland as they pull on the ferry each weekend of the summer. PLUS the FLYER is available for pick-up at many of the local businesses that advertise in the FLYER. On the three holiday weekends, an average of 2500 copies of the FLYER are printed and distributed. Below, I've listed the pertinent information about ad sizes, prices, dates and rules. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
