DISPLAY ADVERTISINGDisplay ads provide the perfect advertising opportunity for area businesses, university departments, and individuals advertising products, services or special events. A display advertisement is an ad that has an artistic element along with the message and is priced by column inches. The number of column inches is determined by multiplying the number of columns horizontally by the ad’s height in inches. For example, a 2x5 ad (2 columns wide by 5 inches deep) would equal a total of 10 column inches.
