Yes – as soon as the order is placed, you should receive an email w/ all that info.

This is a great idea. I’ve signed up. I realize that ads are due by tomorow however the checkout process didn’t give me any information to place my ad. Will you be contacting people directly?

I can make an ad for you (for an additional fee of $35) or I can recommend some other people to you and you can take your pick of who you like best… or you can ask your other business friends and see who they use…

Crissy
Im an interior designer, shop owner and I have an online store that carries over 600 items. If I chose to advertise my company do you have a graphic designer that can create a small ad or is that my responsibility?

Crissy,

My site, Girlfriendology, is all about inspiration, appreciation and celebration of girlfriends. I’d love to write an article for this guide (in addition to advertising) – like ideas for giving girlfriend gifts. Is that an option?

Thanks! Debba / Girlfriendology.com

Thanks for your comment, Sascha.

The fact is, that it is a holiday guide. If you look at last year’s, there is information in there about Christmas, Hanukkah, and even Kwanzaa. It does span different cultures, but the fact is that they are all holidays.

Taking the “holiday” out of it makes it feel less special in my opinion.

This is a great idea and bravo on your marketing of it. May I suggest a re-phrasing of the “Celebrating Other Cultures” to something like “Celebrating Many Cultures” or “Celebrating Throughout Our Community.” The first is actually very exclusive although it doesn’t intend to be.
I’m a big fan of your work and will buy an ad.

well, I don’t have any direct sales reps in it at all…but if I did, then yes, I would only let 1 person represent each company.

That being said, I do have several people who make jewelry, but I don’t limit that because they are each making different types of jewelry, have different price points, and appeal to various markets.

Hi Crissy!
Do you limit the number of like businesses? In other words, if there is 3 Tastefully Simple reps wanting to advertise, do you only allow 1 or all 3?
Thanks
