Directory Listing: Up to 8 lines of text only that includes the name of the business, physical address or directions, phone number, web address (if applicable), and a description. There are three directories in the guide: Lodging, Dining and Shopping & Services. All other businesses are listed in the itineraries sections.

Itineraries: Itineraries are two-page spreads dedicated to specific interests. Much like directories, these include directory-like listings of up to 8 lines of text only that includes the name of the business, physical address or directions, phone number, web address (if applicable), and a description. There are two advertorial opportunities in the itinerary spreads. (1) We can feature an image of your business in the background. It will be credited much like an editorial photograph – name of business, location, etc. – though you may also include any and all of the information you would include in a directory listing. You receive one free directory listing with the purchase of this option. (2) We will include an image of your business as a “pop-out” on the itinerary page, along the map route. You may expand what you would include in a text-only directory listing to 12 lines.

Special Advertising Opportunities: These are “advertorial” opportunities: a combination of advertising and editorial consideration, meaning it is ads that are mixed in with the general editorial coverage of a community or itinerary. Each community has a two page spread that features one large image covering 1.5 pages and three inset images on the right-hand read. They are priced to represent premium placement, the top being the most expensive, then the bottom and then the middle. Itineraries are also two-page spreads, but there are no insets. Just a background image for each page. You may also include a logo for your event on the Events Calendar as a special advertising opportunity.
