These rates reflect a greater discount from normal advertising rates – as
much as 70 percent, depending upon size.
~RATES~
Full page: $180.
Half page: $100.
Quarter page: $50
Smaller sizes will still be discounted, but will be charged $2.50 per column
inch: for example, 2 col. x 10” ad (20 col. inches) would cost $50, the
same as a quarter page; another example, 2 col. x 5” ad (10 col. inches)
would cost $25.
This policy is a re-statement that all political advertising must be pre-paid.
No exceptions.
~POLICY~
Advertising copy may be mailed with an accompanying check or money
order: Sota, P.O. Box 5, Wilmot, SD 57279; or placed in the Sota mailbox
at Tribal headquarters (no postage needed, pickup 10 a.m. Thursdays).
If an advertisement is sent electronically, by e-mail or fax, then a check
must be mailed to the Sota, either at headquarters or through the postal
service.
There can be no exceptions.
Purpose of discounting rates is to encourage candidates to provide their
credentials and plans for improving the lives of the Sisseton-Wahpeton
Oyate whom they will serve while in office. Purpose of the pre-payment
policy is to make certain that our bare minimum costs for layout,
printing and mailing of these pages are covered.
Thank you! We are grateful for each and every one willing to provide
leadership for our Oyate. Pidamiya. Best wishes in the upcoming 2016
primary and general elections. May the Oyate make the wisest choices
possible based upon their best interests and those of future generations.
