<<<...Many dont advertize in it anymore we have other means to advertize like the web...Barbara Amidon a use to be long time advertizer>>>> Yes it is true that ads are dwindling, as the reliability of the Review is going downhill. It is no longer timely, as much as it could be with a two month lead time?, then another two or more months for delivery? It is cheaper to advertise in Dog News, and the Chronical at this point , even though the ads are pricey. They are always timely, and with Dog News you are certain that your ads are going to be seen by judges, and interested parties. This is not a personal slam at the Review staff, not at all. I think the problems with the Review are SO pervasive and overwhelming at this point, that it is spiraling out of control . Time to stop production, and rework the Review, rethink making it AFFORDABLE or giving INCENTIVE for people to do multi page ads. The idea is to encourage advertising, something which has not happened in a long time. Advertisers have a deadline for publication, why shouldn't the Review have a deadline for the delivery. Time for new ideas, and a kinder , friendlier publication, that makes people WANT to advertise. If we have to go to a simpler format, to ease costs, then so be it. As it stands, it is simply not worth it.
