OK -- this is the scoop: I sent the following email to
mart@nawcc.org on Saturday:
Good Morning!
There's a new online MART on the NAWCC Forum. I have something to sell and I'd like to know how to go about it.
1. What is the process?
2. How much does an ad there cost?
3. How much text am I allowed?
4. Am I allowed images? How many? Pixel or size limit?
5. Can I advertise more than one item in a post?
6. How long can the ad run? If there is a time limit, can I replace the ad if the first item sells quickly?
7. Who do I send the ad to?
8. How do I take the ad down once the item is sold?
9. Anything else I need to know or do?
Thank you! The online mart was recently created but no instructions were given as to its use.
Best regards,
Frank Del Greco NAWCC*
Today I got the following response:
Good Morning Frank!
I’m glad it’s getting noticed – we just recently launched it. This is set up almost exactly like the Line Ads in the Mart.
- The process is working with me. You’ll email me the text you would like to place, I’ll determine the number of lines and total charge for the ad.
- The cost is the same as the Mart Line Ads - $3.80/line (3 line minimum)
- No max on the text in ad.
- No images at this time, this is just a line ad. We do offer the banner ads that can have an image. You’ll see a few square banners that are currently running, down the right side of the page.
- It’s your line ad – so just like the Mart, whatever text you want to include is up to you.
- The ad pricing is for one calendar month (January, February…so on). You can contract for more than one month. If your item is sold, we are looking into adding a SOLD stamp to the ad or could remove it altogether. The ad text can not be switched out in the middle of the month but you would be able to make adjustments to the next month’s line ad.
- You’ll work with me for the whole process.
- If you item sells or need has been fulfilled, you can reach out to me directly to advise the ad can be marked SOLD or removed. We’ll handle everything on our end.
- Not that I can think of!
Yes, we literally just got the go ahead last week. I’m actually going to be sending an eBlast this week to get the word out and share the 2021 Media Kit.
If you think of any other questions – or would like to get signed up for March, let me know!
Thanks,
Rhianna

So that's how you run an ad and how much it costs.
