Bulletin Board Advertising
The Bulletin Board is a regular section in which your ad is placed into a category such as "Events & Activities" or "Lodging" or whatever the appropriate category is.
This is a popular section and one that some advertisers use in combination with a display ad.

How to Order a Bulletin Board Ad:
- You send us what you want your ad to say and the enhancements you want. Send this via the online order form, or by email to howell@kansastraveler.com or by ground mail. We don't want to take ads over the phone because it's too easy for us to make a mistake.
- We create your ad and send you a quote. If you have email and can read PDF files, we'll send you a PDF showing how your ad will look in the paper.
- You approve the ad or ask for changes until it is the way you want it.
- We email you an invoice or you simply pay for the ad by mailing a check or by using your Paypal account (sending payment to howell@kansastraveler.com).
- We run your ad.
- You reap the benefits of advertising in Kansas Traveler.
Advertising Agreements:
If you don't already have an advertising Agreement, consider this way to make your marketing money work even better for you. See Agreements (opens a new window). If a combination of display and Bulletin Board ads is a good fit for your marketing strategy, be aware that both types of ads count toward meeting a multiple-run Agreement.
