Our rules
- Picks can't be bought. Paying never changes what we recommend or the order we list it in.
- Paid is labeled. Every placement says Sponsored or Advertisement.
- No reviews or ratings.We don't sell stars because we don't publish them.
- Categories we don't accept: real estate, mortgage and lending, and title companies.
- Home services (roofing, HVAC, plumbing and similar) work with us through the partner program, not ads.
- The full policy: advertising disclosure and how we pick.
Questions advertisers ask
- How far ahead do I need to book?
- A week is comfortable. Wednesday's issue is put together in the days before it sends, so the earlier you book, the more choice of dates you have; we confirm your run date when you book.
- What do you need from me?
- Usually a short blurb, a link and one photo. We edit to house style and send it back before it runs.
- What reporting do I get?
- A simple report after it runs: opens and clicks for a newsletter placement, page views and clicks for a featured event, entries for a giveaway.
- Can I target one town?
- Not yet. Every placement reaches the whole Northwest Arkansas list. Town targeting comes once enough readers tell us where they spend their weekends.
- What if a product is sold out?
- Limited products show how many spots are left, and drop off the card when they're gone. Ask us and we'll tell you when the next one opens.
- How often can I run?
- As often as you like, one newsletter sponsor per issue. A Venue Partner plan covers all your events, every month.
- How do payment and refunds work?
- Pay at checkout or by invoice. Our full cancellation and refund terms are being finalized and will be published on this site; until then, ask us before you book and we'll put it in writing.
