North•Western Financial Review publishes a Buyer's Guide on August 15. All advertisers are listed in the Buyer's Guide.

Advertisers who commit to 12 insertions or more during 2006, get space in the Buyer's Guide for a 350-word editorial message. Working with our editors, the advertiser has control over the article. In 2006, eight companies took advantage of this unique opportunity. The article appears in addition to your company's listing in our presentation of seelct vendors.

Companies that advertise fewer than 12 times during the year can purchase this editorial opportunity for $1500.

The Buyer's Guide is designed to have a shelf-life of a full year. Readers keep the edition handy so that when they are ready to choose a company for a product or service they need, they have a reliable source available to them presenting attractive options.

If you are serious about marketing to community banks in the Upper Midwest, you cannot afford to miss out on this edition.

If you choose only one edition per year for your advertising, the Buyer's Guide is the issue for you. The edition offers a special one-eigth page space reservation option for just $350. If you provide your company logo, we can even design the ad for you.

The reservation deadlines for the Buyer's Guide are separate from the magazine's regular deadline schedule. All space reservations for the edition are due May 2nd, with materials due in our office on May 16th.
