"Ad" It Up

Ads in local and regional newspapers are easy to produce and worth doing for short periods of time. Here are some guidelines on what you should do:

    + Create a clear, simple message

    + Feature positive qualities of your community and facility

    + Make sure contact information is prominent

    + Compare ideas from professional journals
