Every ad has two hurdles it must clear before it has any value. Hurdle #1 - it must be read, seen or heard. Hurdle #2 - it must be placed with someone who has a need. GREETINGS clears both hurdles with room to spare. We are a target market advertising company with an unique method of addressing new homeowners and apartment residents, offering the most timely cost effective method of reaching new customers possible. We produce a coupon magazine for colleges and universities each semester.
