I have tried repeatedly in the past to get into Ad Generator. I just tried again and now it says "No subscriptions available.". What does that mean?

I have a chance to advertise with a large consignment sale on their email and webpage, and wanted to do it properly using the Ad Generator. Is there another way that anyone can direct me to? The deadline was just posted for Jan. 15th- so I don't have much time if I want to take advantage of a 9000+ consumer marketing opportunity.

Thanks!
 
Did you pay for a subscription before you went into the "generate an ad" link? You need to have the subscription paid first.

The first time that I tried- it wouldn't work. It never went beyond the page of entering my information...something with a server error (it was a few weeks ago). So I tried yesterday and it doesn't even let me enter information. :(
 
I am getting the same error no sub. available. I have been trying to pay for the subscription I need an ad for the local. any thoughts on what the issue might be or how to correct
thanks
 
You cannot advertise on any webpage as a PC consultant. Check out the policies on that but I was told we cannot post our information or that we are PC consultants on the web anywhere but our PWS. I got an internet violation for advertising on a LOCAL email newsletter because they had a website as well.
 
our local is too small for webbased it is more like a flyer of all the town happenings
 
Jane-

Was the emailed newsletter posted on a website? Or was it just a straight email with a link to their website in the email?
