Once again this year, a three-tier fee structure will be in effect for convention newspaper ads. Organizations and individuals wishing to place ads in “The Birmingham Beacon,” this year’s convention daily newspaper, and on our dial-in “Convention Ear” service will contribute to the cost of production via the following fee structure. All ads must be 100 words or less.
For-profit businesses will be charged $100 for a newspaper ad for three days or $35 per day.
Non-profit organizations and ACB affiliates will be charged $10 per day for a newspaper ad which will run for three days.
Individuals will be charged $5 per day for a newspaper ad which will run for three days.
These fees will entitle the advertiser to announce his/her product in both the daily paper (available in print and braille) and on the dial-in announcement service. The 2004 convention will feature newspapers between Saturday and Thursday.
Don’t forget, you can sign up for daily “home delivery” of the Beacon. This service will be provided by members of the National Alliance of Blind Students; it costs $5 if you pre-register, or $10 if you subscribe when you get to Birmingham.
