A retail display ad is an ad that can be placed anywhere in the newspaper between pages 3 and 19. A page number may be requested but is not guaranteed. A guaranteed position is the cost of the ad plus 25%. A retail display ad may be created by a Tribune graphic designer or can be submitted via email or camera ready.
