2009 ADVERTISING RATE CARD All rates listed are ‘per edition’
Welcome to South Mississippi Scene! Allow me to introduce you to South Mississippi Scene, a regional magazine that highlights the best that South Mississippi has to offer - from Brookhaven in Southwest Mississippi to the Pine Belt Region in the Southeast corner of our state. SMS was launched in 2006 to feature South Mississippians - their achievements, their talents and successes, and the outstanding things that make us love living in the Southern region of our wonderful state. In our short existence, we’ve featured celebrities Emeril Lagasse, Jimmy Buffett, Craig Wiseman and Deanna Favre. Our editions feature individuals and places in the areas of art, entertainment, home & garden, southern cuisine, business and health - just to name a few! Although a relative young publication, South Mississippi Scene has already gained the attention of readers and advertisers state-wide. It is a welcomed publication in the homes throughout our region. I invite you to become a member of our growing family of advertisers. Together let’s spotlight the best South Mississippi has to offer. Lisa Pittman Editor-in-Chief

Billing Advertisers may not cancel orders for, or make changes in, advertising after the advertising deadline dates. SMS may cancel or reject advertising for any reason at any time without liability, even though previously acknowledged or accepted. An advertiser must give 30 days written notice to discontinue a contract. SMS reserves the right to charge the difference in the contracted rate and the full-price rate if a contract is broken. If ad materials are not provided or if a new ad does not receive approval by the advertiser by the advertising deadline date, SMS will use a previously approved ad for that customer. If no ad is available, the space will be filled and the advertiser remains liable for the payment of the reserved space. A 10% discount will be given for a contract that is prepaid at the beginning of the contract term. If an advertiser wishes to pay for each edition of the contract separately, payments will be due by the advertising deadline shown on this card. Prior arrangements must be made if a payment is to be late to avoid having the ad pulled from the edition. If a contracted ad is pulled for non-payment, the advertiser is still liable for payment of that contracted space.
