Put everything together the right way, in order and buy the ad.

Just a 2.5" ad in the weekday edition will cost you $1625 in USA Today........2.5" isn't a very big ad.

When I was in the car business, I handled advertising for the dealership in Medford, OR. Nice sized town, 50,000 people, 2 newspapers in town. A full page Sunday ad in that small town was over $700, and that was 10 years ago. It's insane.

The internet is (mostly) free....

Good for Rebel, I know he is very serious, you can tell in all his posts, hope he has a safe trip, I'm sure he'll be informing us when he gets back.
Nice to see you on here Mrs. Rebel, hope you are doing better now.

Well, I got back an hour ago. Even though I kinda threw everything together and took off I guess I was hoping for more response on the road.
2 questions from drivers
2 flipped birds(probably directed at other inconsiderate Atlanta drivers, not me)
1 thumbs up from a kind soul from Ga. in a pickup

Hoping flyers along way and website on tailgate may stir interest.

We'll see
