Regional/Split Run Ads and Inserts
Subscription copies will be delivered to their proper subject area to within a 5% variance.
Newsstand regional advertising: Every best effort will be made to deliver regional ads and copysplits to the desired newsstand markets. Due to continuing changes in wholesale distribution patterns, regional newsstand delivery for inserts and copysplits cannot be fully controlled and therefore cannot be fully guaranteed to particular states. It is recommended that regional inserts and copysplits be done according to the 9 region Condé Nast Area map. |
