How to Advertise

Florida Planning is the newsletter of the American Planning Association, Florida Chapter. It is published 10 times a year and has a circulation of over 2,800, making it a great place to inform planners and others with an interest in the profession about your business.

Florida Planning is published the first week of every month except for the two double issues, which are published mid-way between the two-months identified for those issues. Deadlines for articles, display ads, and JobMart ads are provided in the table below. Extensions to the deadline may be possible depending on the production schedule. Consult the Chapter Office for details or for any exceptions to the schedule (phone: 850-201-FAPA; e-mail: fapa@floridaplanning.org).

JOB MART ADS

Job Mart is a classified column for job postings, requests for proposals, and the like that list 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 FAPA’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 (or call) with the word count (a standard word processor word count).

If the ad includes a deadline, please be aware that the newsletter goes out bulk mail and the U.S. Post Office has advised us to allow up to ten days on bulk mail pieces. Accordingly, we recommend that your deadline run at least through the end of the month of publication (eg., a March 31st deadline for the March issue).

Job Mart Ads can be e-mailed to adminbk@floridaplanning.org by the deadline. Please include a contact name and number and all billing information, including fax number and any P.O. or reference numbers you may require for processing. Advertisers will be billed at the time of publication with a tearsheet (a copy of the newsletter page with your ad on it).
