A-Frame Advertisement Policies and Procedures
A-Frame Requests
Prior to submitting your request, please check the A-Frame Calendar for availability. Availability is indicated by blank cells in the ORANGE table for each date. Blank cells do not guarantee a reservation is available. This process is not automated, ads are added to the calendar on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Rates:
- $75 per location for 10 business days.
- Each additional location is $75.
This rate is subject to change if outlined procedures are not followed.
Ads will run from Wednesday to Wednesday – 14 days. If you would like your ad removed after one week, you will still be charged in full. If you would like your ad to run for more than 14 days, this must be communicated prior to your confirmation.
Once your advertisement schedule has been confirmed, you may no longer make changes to your order. The ad will run in the requested locations for the two-week period.
If you want your ads to move locations after the first week, you will be charged a minimum of one hour or labor. During some times of the year, the request volume may be too high for us to accommodate shuffling your advertisements to different locations.
Long-term a-frames will not be permitted. To be fair to all customers, we will no longer accept a-frame advertisements that run for multiple weeks or months at a time.
In the event there is inclement weather, the advertisements will be serviced as soon as possible. This may mean your ad runs longer or shorter than your request. The charges will not change.
