ticipants will receive 25% off the entire

give you a 10% discount on the photo booth. Contact your ad rep for complete details.

Here’s a great money-saver! We sometimes have extra space or a last-minute cancellation. If you have an ad
that isn’t time-sensitive, we’ll put it on standby, and run it at half price. Applies to display ads an eighth page
or larger only.
