Do You Have News to Share?

As we’ve said many times, the Stillwater Valley Advertiser is not a newspaper in the sense most think of a newspaper. The key is in our name – AdVeRTiSeR. This publication relies on paid advertising to generate income for printing/postage costs, staff salaries, and building/equipment maintenance.

However, the Advertiser is pleased to be of service to the community by offering open space – when available – to help our readers share news they feel is of interest to the community, such as engagements, weddings, milestone birthdays and anniversaries, birth announcements, five generation pictures, Vacation Bible Schools, library programs, school and club events, etc.

If an organization, even non-profits like Veterans organizations, charge for a steak, chicken, or fish fry, we can’t offer free advertising to them, as their event competes with area restaurants who do pay for display advertising. Churches also compete with restaurant advertisers when they host Chili and Spaghetti Dinners, etc. The key is in what is done with the funds generated. For example, a church hosting a dinner to raise money for a new organ would be charged to advertise that event. However, if the church is hosting a dinner to benefit a family experiencing a health crisis or who have lost their home in a fire, the Advertiser waives the cost of advertising as our contribution to the effort.

Those wishing to advertise an event that does charge an admittance fee can do so by including that information in our Calendar of events for just $15 per week.

If you question whether or not your event qualifies for free advertising, feel free to call our office at 937-473-2028, Monday thru Friday, 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Our helpful staff will be happy to assist you, or will direct your call to Gary Godfrey, president of Arens Corporation.

Combine the power of print with the power of the internet All of our advertising is also available on line.

‘Take Us Along’ Contest Pictures Sought For the past several years, when paid advertising isn’t scheduled for the front page of the Stillwater Valley Advertiser, we’ve been publishing “Take Us Along” pictures, randomly drawn from entries received over the past several months. Our readers tell us how much they enjoy seeing where their friends and neighbors spent their vacations.

Contest submissions must include a COLOR photograph with someone holding a copy of the Advertiser, with a scenic background showcasing your vacation destination, such as the Golden Gate Bridge, Statue of Liberty, Grand Canyon, etc. Photos taken in private homes and yards, restaurants, airports, etc., are not acceptable contest entries. Photos must be in focus and not too dark or too light.

Include the names of the persons pictured and background information about your trip (dates, points of interest, amusing anecdotes, whatever you wish to include in your picture caption). We’ve drawn many contest entries that would have been perfect, but they lacked sufficient information and had to be rejected.

Most importantly, many entries don’t include a return mailing address so the winner can have their picture returned to them along with their contest prize. If emailing your entry, it should be in a jPeG or TIFF format and emailed to: arenspub@gmail.com.

Mailed contest entries should be addressed to: Arens Corporation - Stillwater Valley Advertiser “Take Us Along” Contest, 395 S. High St. - P.O. Box 69, Covington, OH 45318.

With vacation season just around the corner, we look forward to receiving many “Take Us Along” contest pictures. Don’t forget to invite the Advertiser along on your next vacation!!!
