Weekly Business Tip from Mythic Landing Enterprises:
When you place an ad in a print publication, you will often have options beyond your traditional display ad and classified.

Other publications will offer packages that combine advertising in their print and online publications. Take the time to read up on your options and communicate with their ad sales department to decide which option will be best for you and your business.
