JOB MART ADS

Job Mart is a classified column for job postings, requests for proposals, and the like that are posted on the APA Florida website. These ads can be submitted at any time. Job Mart ads can also be listed in the newsletter Job Mart section. Ad deadlines for newsletter Job Mart Ads are listed in the table below. The ads are text only and follow a common format. Ad rates are billed by the word, and our policy is to spell out abbreviations for greater readability.

Ad rates are as follows:

  • Up to 100 words $50
  • Over 100 words, each additional 1-10 words is $10.

A $25.00 administrative processing fee will be added for JobMart ads that appear in Florida Planning Newsletter in addition to being published on APA Florida’s website.

For example, a 106 word ad costs $60. If it ran on both the website and in the newsletter, then the cost would be $60 plus $25 or $85

If you would like an estimate, please e-mail with the word count (a standard word processor word count).
