Frequently Asked Questions:
- How can Tlehs Publishing help my business?
-
Tlehs Publishing specializes in delivering your message to specific subdivisions. Doing this yourself with multiple subdivisions can be time consuming, confusing, and almost impossible. Your Tlehs representative can coordinate your entire campaign, keeping your message consistent and easy to manage.
- Who is Tlehs Publishing?
-
Tlehs is a family business located in Duluth, GA. We pride ourselves in producing top quality resident directories, newsletters, and websites for subdivisions. We are dedicated to assisting you in achieving your marketing goals, and helping you grow your business.
- What advertising products do you offer?
-
We offer 7 different ways to target homeowner associations (HOA's). We contract with subdivisions and publish their community newsletters, resident directories, and websites. Our magazines include CounterBalanced and TlehsBest, which offer compelling and interesting content that complements your message. We also offer solo direct mail by community or geography of your choice. Rounding out our print/online media mix is our free TlehsBest website, giving you an effective way to interact directly with consumers and specific communities.
- What are your prices?
-
Print prices start from $40 to $2,542 for premium positions, with frequency discounts up to 50% off. Online prices range from $5 to $122. In a recent month sales ranged from $86.40 to $34,092.50. This wide range is a testament to how our program can be shaped to fit your needs. In other words, some advertisers want to target a single community with a single publication, while others want to target many communities with multiple publications. We deliver over 600 publications a year.
If you are a small to medium size business, and are serious about growing your company, call us. Our professionally trained representatives can answer your questions and develop a campaign that works for your budget, and your business. - How can I get the best price possible?
-
Here are 5 solutions that will save you money.
1. The most popular communities with the highest advertiser interest have higher advertising rates to prevent resident push-back about too many ads. Ask your representative about our "second tier" program for newsletters and directories not affected by this situation.
2. Try our CounterBalanced and TlehsBest magazines, which have a lower cost per home.
3. Ask your representative if there are any special promotions that might be available, e.g. covers not sold prior to publication may be available at a lower price.
4. Larger orders get significant frequency discounts, up to 50% off.
5. Use our self-serve advertising option at www.TlehsEasyAds.com. - I handle my own advertising and can do it myself. Do you offer an option for that?
-
Absolutely! Go to www.TlehsEasyAds.com, and you'll be able to choose specific newsletters and websites, design your ad from templates, schedule, and pay. You can even manage an ongoing campaign. While there is a price advantage for small orders, you are limited to smaller ad sizes, and you must pay in full. It's a great solution if you are on a limited budget, or just want to test your product. Representatives are available if you want to advertise in more subdivisions and can provide you with frequency discounts, larger ad sizes, premium positions, custom designed ads, payment options, and access to our directory, magazine, and solo programs not available on TlehsEasyAds.
- What is the frequency and delivery dates?
-
Newsletters are monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly, CounterBalanced magazine is bi-monthly, TlehsBest magazine is quarterly, and directories are annual. The delivery worksheet, available through your representative, shows the scheduled deliveries for all newsletters, CounterBalanced, and directories. Tlehs Interaction advertising is sold on a monthly basis.
- Why should I place an ad in a printed publication, when online advertising is so cheap?
-
Online advertising, despite it's low cost, can take an enormous amount of time and research to understand, especially true where social media is concerned. That's where Tlehs Publishing can help. Not only do we provide targeted and proven print advertising options, we also provide Tlehs Interaction online advertising. Print is here to stay, and the shift to online only makes print more valuable. With Tlehs you can get both!
- Who helps me with art and what is the cost?
-
Your representative will work with you and our graphic designers to create an ad that effectively communicates what you offer. There is no charge for this service unless your order is under $500. If your budget is less than $500 we encourage you to use TlehsEasyAds.com to avoid any art charges. You can create your own ad from templates on the site, or upload your own ad.
- What are the deadlines?
-
Order deadlines are the 1st of the month prior to the delivery month. Art is due on the 5th of the month prior.
- Will I get a copy of the publications I advertise in?
-
Yes, you always get a copy of the first print publication. Subsequent issues are available online. For Tlehs Interaction HOA website advertising, you can view your ad at any time on the HOA website that you purchased.
- Will I have access to resident contact information?
-
Your directory and newsletter copy does not contain resident contact information, and you don't have access to that information on Tlehs Interaction websites. Our subdivision agreements prevent us from sharing this information with you. Soliciting residents by phone, mail, or email while on our program is not possible.
- What kind of response can I expect?
-
While we have clients that have been with us many years, response is different for every business and depends on many factors. Our guarantee is this: Tlehs Publishing will deliver a quality ad to the audience you selected, giving it many opportunities to be seen.
Ask your representative what you can expect. They are trained to help you understand the expectations and goals of your campaign, and how to manage the response you receive. - Do all residents get a directory or newsletter?
-
We print and deliver the number of newsletters and directories given to us by the subdivision. We cannot guarantee delivery to every resident, but that certainly is our intent.
- How are the print publications delivered?
-
Print publications are mailed via the USPS directly to homes in almost all cases. A few are delivered by resident volunteers.
