Michelle, bless her, bought me a 3-day run of a text ad in the classifieds of our local paper (for my computer services). I’d put some picture ads into the regular section of the paper before, but we’re hoping that this might produce better results.
Ironically, nothing was printed in today’s issues, nor did it appear online. Worse, the contact I have there still hasn’t returned my call asking about where the ad went. I’m sure it will all work out. Most likely it was just delayed by a day.
