Placed a Newspaper Ad

In summary, both ads listed my web site incorrectly. One listed it as www.thepamperedchef.biz and the other listed it as www.pamperedchef.biz. However, both ads had my phone number in it, so it isn't a total loss this week. SchelI agree about asking them to re-run it at no charge.

I placed a newspaper ad for this last weekends local papers and one was for my June specials and the other for our wedding registry. BOTH.. listed my web site incorrect aaaauggh!!!! :eek:
I feel like I have a black cloud over my head!
I am calling them tomorrow and insisting they rerun it next week at no cost to me!
Anyone else ever ran an ad and got any bookings from it? :confused:

I wondered what your ad was like. I have thought of doing this myself.

Thanks for your help.

I have tried running a classfied a few times before. I got one booking, a order (over a $100) and about 5 send me a catalog but nothing ever came of those.

I have thought about running a bigger ad rather than one in the classfieds to see if that would work better. Has anyone tired that?
 
What exactly do you put in your ads??
 
be sure to abideDouble-check your PC advertising guidelines so you don't get into hot water. Probably you're fine, but careful of making any claims or wording.
 
I was wondering because I thought that we couldn't advertise like that... If we can, I'm going to today!!!:D
 
Yes, you are able to advertise in the newspaper as long as guidelines are followed. Here is the policy on newspaper advertising:

"Consultants may place paid advertisements in local, community and national newspapers; town newsletters; Chambers of Commerce or other business organizations’ publications; school, church or county fair programs, flyers, etc.; and in local and national magazines.

In all advertisements, identify yourself as an Independent Consultant rather than as the company or one of its employees. See Title/Identification guidelines.

If you are providing information to a newspaper or magazine for possible (i.e., unpaid for) coverage or inclusion in a story, refer to the separate policy on publicity."
 
Definately call the paper and have them re-run the ad, if you caught the mistake within their time frame then they should run it again at no charge to you.

I agree about asking them to re-run it at no charge. You paid for the ad and you should be able to reap the benefits. I am glad that they agreed to re-run it. At least your phone number was in it though, so it isn't a total loss this week. Also, great idea about the wedding directory!
