Select any option under “Classifications” and click on it. Now, choose any one of the magazines in that class. Which magazine did you choose?

  1. What is the price of a 1-page, 4-color ad in the magazine that you chose? (use 1 ti –which stands for a “1 time purchase” of an ad).  You will find this by clicking on the RATES & POLICIES tab. 
  2. What is the Total Circulation (which means the number of issues sold) of the magazine you chose?  You will find this by clicking on the CIRCULATION tab.  Please use the TOTAL Circulation if possible.
