Direct Mail and Belly Band Opportunities
Catch readers’ attention by placing a flier, brochure or postcard inside the clear bag in which the publication is mailed. Whether you are promoting an event, a new product or your entire product line, placing a direct-mail piece in the polybag with our publication will ensure tremendous exposure for your company.
Ensure your message is the first readers see by wrapping it around the publication with a belly band. Since readers must detach the belly band to access the rest of the publication, your ad is ideally placed to be noticed.
Additional mechanical charges may apply (belly band, inserts, gatefolds). Sales representative will confirm net rates (insertion rate plus mechanical charge). Reservation is on a first-come first-served basis.
