RMDave- this is just for you (and everyone else curious too )...you asked for more info on what Merrill's Ads look like. (These are samples of the ads when you purchase access to them- for only $2.99. The site says it's for 30-days, but i purchased mine last year and I still can go in and build/download the ads.)I'm only posting a handful of key ad-types. They usually have a vertical and a horizontal layout...finished sizes vary too, and are hard to determine from the images. They have 15 different ads from hosting shows, event ads, recruiting, wedding registry, etc. 2"x3.5" Business Card ads:
Business opportunity -5.5"x3.5"
Hosting a show 5.5"x3.5"
Take Charge Take Action (recruiting) - shown larger image so you can read it
Yellow Pages Ad (1.875"x2.5") - shown larger image so you can read it
A sample of the Wedding Registry ad is here in this thread.
