Classifieds Ad Submission

Dealers clearly indicate that they are dealers either by their firm name or the word agent.

In regard to employment advertising, all offers of employment should state the work to be performed. Since ads are alphabetized within the proper classification, they should start out with a key word which indicates the type work. Sales employment advertisements should name the product or service to be sold. If money is mentioned, copy should state how earnings are paid (salary, commission, draw, etc.). If a fee is required, that should be indicated in the ad.

All Business Opportunity, franchise or other investment ads will be investigated through our local BBB or other fact finding boards, and will require additional time to complete research necessary in an attempt to establish acceptance. Name of company must appear in ad.
