Simplified Newspaper Advertising Placement (SNAP) is a division of the North Carolina Press Services/Press Association. SNAP offers a free service to advertisers to assist them in making life a little easier when it comes to planning and placing newspaper print and online buys.
SNAP is owned and operated by its member papers, so you can rest assured you are dealing with the experts. This service allows advertisers using a multiple market approach to use one source for planning, placement, collection of tearsheets/affidavits and payment. Not only are all of the newspapers in NC available with just one phone call, but by networking with other press services SNAP can handle a nationwide buy for Daily, Community and Minority newspapers.
For a free advertising quote for print or online advertising in any or all North Carolina newspaper markets or across the country, please contact Advertising & Marketing Director Lindsay Webster at 919-789-2085 or by e-mail at lindsay@ncpress.com.
