Testimonials “I have received many comments from families and potential residents about seeing our ads in the Brainerd Dispatch. We utilize many pictures of our current residents who are involved with activities in our community. This is important to seniors because they can check with former neighbors and friends if this is the place to move. The daily paper remains an important part of our marketing effort and will continue to. The other added marketing exposure we have been involved with is the on-line advertising and have received many inquiries from sons and daughters looking for a place for their loved one. I feel that the Brainerd Dispatch continues to provide a variety of advertising opportunities that will effectively market our business not only today but in the future. It is exciting that the Brainerd Dispatch continues to explore other forms of media and then educates their clients as to how it will grow their business.” Loree Besser Director of Resident Services 14211 Firewood Drive Baxter, MN 56425

“The Post-It our office ran on the front of the Brainerd Dispatch Weekend Edition was one of the most successful advertising strategies we have ever used. The entire process was very efficient. We were pleased with the creative efforts, delivery and response. We had over 300 Post-Its redeemed and filled a semi with disposed electronics, our most successful recycling campaign to date. Hughes Technologies will definitely use the program again and we would like to thank your team for all their hard work.” Wes & Elizabeth Hughes Hughes Technologies, Inc. 13834 Cherrywood Drive Baxter, MN 56425 www.HughesTechnologiesInc.com

On The Horizon: Future of Local Newspapers In the past couple years we have witnessed the devastating effect the internet has had on the newspaper industry. In one large city after another, we have seen large daily newspapers declare bankruptcy, be sold for pennies on the dollar of their previous worth or close outright. There is no doubt the newspaper industry as we have known it has changed forever. Since newspapers have traditionally been one of the most effective means of advertising for small town businesses, what do these changes mean for small town, local newspapers? The answer may surprise you. According to Professor Michael Ray Smith of Campbell University in North Carolina, small town local newspapers will survive and even prosper in the future because they will remain a single unifying voice for these communities. Smith goes on to say that because small-town newspapers are going hyper-local, they are stimulating their audiences. What was once looked down upon by the big city dailies in their hubris is now becoming the strength that will allow small town newspapers to flourish: the chronicling of the achievements of local, ordinary people. From a media standpoint, these small town weeklies will continue to provide a good return on invested advertising dollars because their penetration of the market and the readership on local weeklies tend to be very high. Starch Media and Advertising's research indicates that small town weeklies are read widely in the communities they serve and are even by people who otherwise do not read daily newspapers. Although some adjustments and concessions will have to be made in their methods of delivery, their status as the source of local information will allow them to be successful. They will continue to serve their communities for years to come regardless what the future holds for big-city dailies. The Bottom Line: Small town newspapers will continue to be an effective advertising medium for small businesses in their local communities. These small papers are so much a part of their communities that local citizens can't imagine life without them. - Mark Fyten, MAS About Mark Fyten, MAS Mark has over 25 years experience in advertising & marketing, starting in broadcast and moving into promotional products in 1995.

Mission Statement & Spec Requirements The Brainerd Dispatch is committed to providing an excellent product to all its customers. To ensure excellence to our advertisers, the Dispatch has set the following advertising policies. All advertisements are accepted subject to the approval of the publisher. The Brainerd Dispatch reserves the right to refuse or cancel any advertisement at any time. Rates charged for advertising are for space only and do not include any compensation for the right, title and any interest to layouts, composition, material, or labor of advertisements created by and placed with the Dispatch. All advertisements remain the sole property of the Brainerd Dispatch. The Dispatch reserves the right to copyright any ad produced by its staff. All advertising is cash with order except when credit has been approved by the company. When credit is allowed to an advertiser, accounts are due on receipt of statement. A service charge of 1.5% per month (annual rate 18%) will be charged on accounts more than 30 days past due. In double truck ads the gutter is billed as one column. Advertising rates may be revised from time to time. Advertisers under contract will be given 30 days notice. Advertising deadlines are set well in advance of publication to ensure an excellent product for the advertiser. Proofs for the purpose of correcting errors in production will be emailed or faxed to the advertiser. Proof of ads 40 column inches in size or more will be faxed or taken to advertisers on

request. Once a proof is submitted to the advertiser, the advertiser takes responsibility for errors not marked on the proof. Correctness of ads submitted after deadline is the responsibility of the advertiser. However, if there is an error that is the fault of the Dispatch, the ad will be re-run (or credit given for) that part of the ad containing the error. Cancellation deadlines are the same as ad order deadlines. Because of the expense involved in the production of ads, cancellations after deadline may be billed for time and materials. The labor charge is $25 per hour. The advertiser agrees to indemnify and hold the newspaper harmless for any claims arising out of the publication of copy submitted by the advertiser. This includes, but is not limited to, claims for libel, copyright infringement and trademark infringement. Position requests will be granted, but not guaranteed, when possible and will not be considered a condition of acceptance for publications. Failure to meet these requests will not constitute cause for adjustment, refund or rerun of the advertisement, unless a positioning surcharge has been paid.

Specs For Sending Ads Our preferred ad delivery format is PDF Version 1.3 (Acrobat 4 Standard). • All spot colors, RGB, etc. should be converted to CMYK prior to final PDF creation. • Due to the nature of the newsprint printing process rich black or black made up of CMYK should not be used. • Type that is overprinted should be no smaller than 5pt, type that is knocking out of more than one color should be no smaller than 8pt. • When using type at the minimum sizes take into account the fonts you are using as some script and thin bodied type may still be too thin at these sizes. • Do not use ICC or embedded color profiling as there could be a potential color shift from what you see on your screen versus what you will see on the final piece. This is due to the fact that your profiles may not match our profiles during final output causing the colors to shift to try to match our profiles. • All fonts must be embedded. • OPI cannot be used. • Any images used in your original document should be at a minimum resolution of 200 dpi. • All PDF’s created from software that supports layers and

live transparencies (i.e. Adobe CS Suite, Quark, etc.) must have all layers and live transparencies flattened within the final PDF delivered to us. If this is not done we can not guarantee your transparency settings will match ours during the digital work flow. This could potentially create undesired effects in the final output of your ad. • PDFwriter is not acceptable for creating a PDF for print production. At our discretion we may occasionally choose to work with PDF’s created from Microsoft Word, Excel, Publisher, or other office applications as best we can, but can not guarantee final output. They are designed for Desktop Publishing not Print Production and typically are missing important capabilities for producing CMYK color, correct font embedding, etc. • We also will accept native files which must include all supporting fonts and graphics. Please call ahead to be sure we have compatible versions of software to open and work with the files. • Any copy not sent as a digital file will be converted digitally (scanned) and will probably suffer a loss of quality in the conversion. • If you have concerns or questions regarding any of the above please feel free to call.

Pierz homes are ready for holidays By JENNIFER Staff Writer

East Coast oil drilling rejected by Obama WASHINGTON (AP) — Pointing to the BP blowout and risks of a new environmental disaster, the Obama administration reversed itself Wednesday and promised not to pursue offshore drilling in the eastern Gulf of Mexico or anywhere else along the nation’s East Coast. The decision was hailed in Florida, which depends on tourists drawn by the state’s white beaches, but criticized by the oil industry, which said the administration was stifling crucial U.S. energy production and costing recession-battered jobseekers golden opportunities for new work. The administration had backed a major expansion of offshore drilling earlier this year, in part to gain support for comprehensive climate legislation in Congress, one of President Barack Obama’s top legislative goals. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar denied politics played any role, saying the BP spill taught officials a number of lessons, “most importantly that we need to proceed with caution and focus on creating a more stringent regulatory regime.” The new drilling focus would be on areas with leases that are currently active in the central and western Gulf of Mexico.

December tips

• When you buy a poinsettia, choose a sturdy, healthy one. Wrap it well in the store and put it into a warm car. When you get it home, remove the wrap and any paper covering the pot. Check to be sure the pot has a drainage hole. Water whenever the surface starts to dry. Place in a sunny window and fertilize in four to six weeks. • Poinsettia sap may irritate skin but the plant is not toxic when eaten. Holly and mistletoe, however, can be dangerous, especially when eaten by children. Ornamental peppers are not poisonous but can be so “hot” that handling them can be painful, especially when pepper oils on hands get rubbed into eyes. • Dust on houseplant leaves is unsightly and prevents the sun’s benefits from being absorbed by the plant. Periodically clean both upper and under sides of leaves with warm water, to which a drop or two of dish soap has been added. Do not use mayonnaise or milk because they leave a residue that attracts dust. • Continue to check stored dahlia tubers and canna bulbs for mold, soft spots and shriveling, all of which should be discarded. Such damage can mean that storage temperatures are too high and/or air circulation is poor. • Choose a fresh Christmas tree to meet your needs. Balsam is most fragrant. Norway pine holds heavy ornaments well. White pine has softer, longer and fragrant needles suitable for lightweight ornaments. White spruce and Norfolk Island pine are good tabletop trees. • De-icers often damage grass and shrubs. Use sand instead.

Daily Deals A new place for locals to learn about Brainerd area services and money-saving offers.

• Deals are promoted in print, online, e-mail and through social media (Facebook and Twitter)... a tremendous reach. • There is NO up-front investment. • No risk to the advertiser, newspaper or consumer.

HOW IT WORKS Step 1: Decide on your DAILY DEAL Establish a minimum number of sales (tipping point) to activate the deal. Step 2: We promote it every day in fixed print ad in the Brainerd Dispatch and on all pages of BrainerdDispatch.com. Users can also sign up to receive a DAILY DEAL email alert.

Step 3: Built-in social media and email buttons help promote the DAILY DEAL in an effort to reach the tipping point. A $10 referral bonus (Deal Bucks) helps the offer spread exponentially. Step 4: The no-risk reward. The DAILY DEAL activates only if the minimum number of sales is met, assuring a no-risk promotional program that potentially drives crowds of people to your door. Step 5: Show me the money. After the deal closes, you receive a complete order sales report, which details the names and email addresses of buyers, as well as unique voucher codes.
