Ad and Payment Deadlines
Payment for ad is due ten days before publication date. Signed business contract and approved ad are due one week before publication date. If any of the items have not been received by deadline, we cannot run the ad.
Payment
We accept cash and checks for payment. If you are legally unable to pay for an ad without proof of publication first, please request a Proof of Publication Contract. Payment for this contract is due five days after receiving proof of publication. For those who plan on advertising in multiple issues, we will accept bulk payment. If you would like an invoice, please request one and it will be provided.
Policy
All advertising is subject to review by the ad editor. The Wildcat Tales reserves the right to refuse any advertising that violates Plano ISD guidelines. Because we are a nonprofit organization and pay for production with advertising fees, we regret that we are unable to give discounts for running an ad multiple times. If you would like us to create an ad for you, please feel free to ask us and supply us with the information you would like in the ad. We will create it and send it to you for your approval before production.
Publication Dates
The Wildcat Tales will be published approximately every three weeks. We will accept requests for reservations in future issues.
Inserts
Pre-printed inserts only. The ad editor must receive one copy in advance to review acceptability. Inserts must be received ten days before publication. Approximately 2000 copies should be sent in, but this number may vary from issue to issue.
