I am well into production for the final edition of the Grand Bend Strip, which is a swimsuit edition that will go to every home in Grand Bend and to our 600 subscribers. Copies will be available at stores as well.
Because we are running a full distribution, about 1800 copies will go to homes in Grand Bend, with the rest going to subscribers in the area through our normal distribution for a total of 2200 delivered copies plus 800 store copies. This is a rare chance for you to hit every home in Grand Bend with your message, and I know this issue will remain on coffee tables for some time.
I have set my prices a little higher than normal, but much lower than should be expected for a full distribution run. We are still more affordable than any other local paper, despite a greater distribution for this run. This offer won’t come around again. Prices can be found at http://www.grandbendstrip.com/advertising/
I want to run as much colour as possible to show off the swimsuits being worn by local people you may know. Studies also show that colour is more attractive to readers, so you will get more eyeballs on your ad if you run colour. To make this more attractive to you, I am offering you a special deal: on top of your ad space rate, you can add colour for $50 for any ad less than 1/4 page, or $100 for any ad larger than 1/4 page. This is a huge discount from our normal rates (adding colour for a full page is normally $300 on top of your space rate, so you can save up to $200)!

Please let me know as soon as possible the extent of your participation in this special issue. Hope to hear from you soon!
