Cheap Papers! Starting a new successful advertising campaign is not an easy task. Pick newspapers that are very inexpensive in any area of the country. This will allow you to "test" several markets in different areas of the country. Once you have tested some inexpensive papers, you will find what areas of the country pull best for your ad. You can then pick up additional newspapers in the "test" markets that are doing well. This is the easiest and most effective way to find out where your "hot spots" are across the country.
Our service places classified print newspaper ads in the papers you select. The ads will be published in the actual newspaper. Our prices do not include the ad being on the newspaper's website. Most newspapers don't have websites yet, and if they do, they often charge extra for ads to appear online. Some newspapers offer free ads online with the paid print ads they receive from our company. These ads will appear online. There is no way to know which papers do and which don't have free ad websites.
At this time, Hanson & Hanson Ent. L.L.C. does not handle display advertising. We are currently adding hundreds of new weekly and daily newspapers to our database to bring you the most selection possible for the most popular newspapers across the country. We expect to set up display advertising groups sometime in the future.
YES! Successful advertisers have been running their ads week after week, in the same newspapers, never changing the ad copy nor classification. Many "fly-by-night" ads appear in newspapers across the country. These ads generally do not do well for responses. The readers are very aware of ads that only appear a week or two in their newspapers and are never seen again. Readers do not call these ads. They respond to the ads that have built rapport with the readers by appearing for many weeks in a row. Many successful advertisers have run the same ads in the same newspapers for well over 250 weeks in a row. These "repeat" ads do very well and produce the highest number of responses possible. "Fly-by-night" ads do not do well at all. Also, keep your ad "realistic". Remember, "if it's too good to be true", customers will not respond.
Hanson & Hanson Ent. LLC has been in business for over 10 years. We have worked with the same newspapers during this time and have negotiated 52 week contract rates with most of our publications. This means you would have to advertise with the same newspaper for a year prepaid before getting close to the rate we offer even after a reasonable markup. These papers have been hand-picked to produce the best possible results for your company. Hanson & Hanson Ent. L.L.C. is the only agency in the country with a 100% proof of placement system to guarantee your ads are placed as requested. Call the competition, ask them to produce 100% proof of placement!

YES! Generally, the first 3 words in an ad copy can be in Bold & CAPITALIZED. Some newspapers use the same font and font size for every ad. These papers won't bold or capitalize the ad, but generally most will per our request. Simply capitalize the first 3 words in your ad to receive this benefit.
Unfortunately, no. Our company must have an order via our website to process your advertising. This is required because we offer so many different papers we must know exactly which papers you want. Our online website allows easy ordering 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We also require a signed Printable Receipt to complete your order. This is required because online thefts grow daily. We are securing your order and credit card information with your signature to save you and your family the headaches of online credit card theft. No advertising will be placed without your signature. Ordering online will also issue you an account number and order numbers which will allow you to renew ads easily and see your entire history of orders at any time.
Accepted means the papers accept such ads like Work at Home, Business Opportunity, Help Wanted, Lose Weight, Loans and Credit Cards, MLM and other types of business ads. Rejected means these papers DO NOT accept these types of ads. This includes weight loss ads, mortgage, non-insurance ads, etc. Hanson & Hanson Ent. L.L.C. is NOT responsible for papers picked by you that reject your ads that are clearly marked rejected in our database. If you have MLM, Biz Opps or weight loss ads....DO NOT choose Rejected papers.
Deadlines are Thursday at 4pm central time. Thursday afternoon at 4pm central time is always deadline for ads that publish 10-17 days after deadline. The down-time is due to mailing insertions to each paper you choose and meeting their deadline for the week you request. All changes, additions, cancellations must be made before deadline of the first week you request.
You can track EVERY ad paper by paper if needed. Each publication, special and magazine has a code in our database. This code number can be inserted into each and every ad going to requested papers. Inserting the code as an extension number after your 800 number (or any phone number) allows you to know exactly which papers are getting the most responses.
Example: 1-877-302-0250 Ext.# 252. The extension number corresponds to paper number 252, the Classified Gazette in California. Track the extension numbers when your customers call and you are on your way to a successful advertising campaign! Advertisers using URLs only can track by setting up the webpages necessary to correspond to the newspaper code. For example... www.exampleurl.com/ad252.
After tracking, you can then eliminate the papers that do not pull well, thus reducing the cost on your next run. Your responses stay the same. This effective means of tracking WILL save you hundreds - even thousands - on wasted advertising. This tracking system allows complete 100% proof of placement. If you get 2 or fewer responses from any ad, we WILL supply you with a tear sheet for proof of placement.
To track your ads, simply put Ext%% after your phone number in your ad. The %% is the default for our "in-house" system to automatically insert every paper code you choose in the ad copy going to each individual newspaper.
If you want to track using a URL, enter your URL in your copy and insert the %% sign where you want the codes inserted. Example: www.exampleurl.com/ad%%. Be sure to set up each individual URL with your webmaster for tracking purposes. Your webmaster must set up each URL that corresponds with the paper code.
If you are using a mailing address for your responses, insert the %% as a Dept number in your ad copy. Example: 2099 Pelzer Rd. Dept %%, Boonville, IN 47601.
You MUST track using our 100% proof of placement system in order to request tear sheets!
Yes! Click on the Ad Order Menu. Papers By State will take you to the list of papers state by state. From there you will see all the information about each newspaper: the paper code; the name of the paper; the city in which it appears; the "true" circulation of the paper; and, a 15 word rate. Mark the papers you want your ad to be published in, then "add" them to your order. You can then either enter your ad copy or continue to choose additional papers. When you have finished picking all your newspapers, enter your ad, choose your run week, classification and confirm your order. If you have a 20, 25, 30, or 35 word ad, our system will automatically update your rates after you enter your ad copy. Don't forget to check out the Specials & Group Buys where you will find great group buys at very competitive rates.
The prices listed are for one week's worth of advertising for weeklies and one day for daily newspapers. Some of the weekly publications publish only once a week. Many publish two and even three times a week. Weekly & Daily papers show the run day next to each newspaper listed. It is important to understand that representing over 2100 papers, different rates and reps, is an operation of great detail. Rates do change from time to time. All prices are kept up to date on a daily basis. Specials & Group Buys are all weekly/daily newspapers that run for one week. Magazines run for one month. Magazine deadlines can be different than normal. Call our offices for Magazine deadlines.
Word Count is determined by the number of actual words that appear in your ad. Phone numbers always count as one word. Website URLs and E-mail addresses will count as 3 words. Normal URLs as 3 words. If your URL is long, extra word costs will be added. Example: "Reach 56,000,000 homes with just one call! Track every ad. Pick and choose from 1000 newspapers. Toll Free 877-302-0250 Ext #____ www.nationwideclassifieds.com" This is a 25 word ad. "The Ext# will allow you to track paper by paper if needed. If you want to track paper by paper make sure you include Ext# in your ad!" As another example, "www.exampleurl.co/users/16258" would be considered 5 words. After choosing your papers and entering your ad copy our ad copy calculator will show upgraded rates if you have gone over the 15 word default on the checkout page. The "Re-calculate" button will also upgrade your rates.
We have an extensive computer program that controls all the rates, reps, paper names, addresses and all types of information. This system will allow us to give you a quote for any size ad instantly no matter which papers you choose. Our system keeps all ads in memory for future use and even prints all ads and checks for placement. Simply signing the check and sending the ads is all that is required.
