- How
do I place an ad?
Go to PLACE AN AD and follow the instructions.
- Who
is allowed to list an ad?
Any Rotarian who is a member in good standing with a Rotary Club. This
will be verified with the Rotarian’s club before the ad is accepted
and put up on the website.
- Can
I submit my ad electronically but make payment by check?
Yes. There is an additional $20 charge for payment by check.
-
Can
I do everything by mail and pay by check?
Yes. Just remember, it will take longer and cost you $20 more to do
it this way.
-
Why
does it cost more if I mail the ad materials to you and/or pay by check?
We have to enter all your data by hand and deposit the check. If you
submit your ad electronically and pay by credit card at the same time,
we can handle it with a few clicks of the mouse.
- What
do you mean by “a possibly significant error”?
This is an error that could mislead or confuse your potential customer.
Ex: Business Name: Sam’s Fish Farm
Description: We manufacture all types of Pre-Cast concrete products.
Ex: Business
address: 1234 Main Street
Denver, CO 66666-7777
Rotary Club affiliation: Kansas City, Mo-Downtown
- What
do you mean by “ad unsuitability”?
This is an ad for a product or service that does not meet the standards
of the Rotary 4-Way Test. An example would be a violation of Rotary
International’s Rotary Code of Policies 8.060.0 par 8 which states “Neither
seek from nor grant to a fellow Rotarian a privilege or advantage not
normally accorded others in a business or professional relationship.”
We realize that “suitability” can be a highly subjective
determination. The Directory reserves the right to reject any ad application
that we think is unsuitable.
- Can
I get a quantity discount if I submit several different ads?
Each ad is considered individually. We have structured the pricing to
be as economical as possible.
- Can
I place an ad for a business that I do not work for, but in
which I have an ownership interest ?
Not unless you are regularly involved in the operation of the business.
Each ad listing carries the Rotarian’s name that your customer
will expect to speak to. One of the incentives for the potential customer
in using this directory is that they will be dealing with another Rotarian.
- Can
I place an ad for my spouse’s business in which I do
not work?
An ad for a business for which you do not work would not pass the 4
Way Test. If your spouse joins Rotary they can then advertise in the
Directory.
- Can
I submit ads for more than one business?
Yes, if you are regularly involved in the operation of each of these
businesses.
- The “Products/Services
Offered” field is not enough space to list all our
products/services
The field size is dictated by the software. If you need more space consider an
additional ad under another classification that will increase the chances of
a potential customer finding you.
- Who benefits from the money I pay for this ad?
YOU!! Your Rotary Club shares if they have signed an agreement with the Directory. Also the Rotary Club of Kansas City Missouri as the owner of this website, retains a certain amount for maintaining the website.
- Who
will see my ad?
Anyone who has access to the internet. Your ad will reach far beyond
your club’s membership and will be seen by all Rotarians who
want to do business with other Rotarians plus anyone else with access
to the internet.
- Why
should I advertise in the Directory?
Because it will be good for your business, for you, and for your Rotary Club.
Yes. But each ad would have to be paid for as a separate ad, even if the Classification
and descriptive fields in each ad were the same. Also, each different Rotary
Club would have to have a relationship with the Directory.
Only one Rotarian can be listed in each ad. Consider placing two ads
under the same or different classifications to get more exposure. These
would be considered two separate ads and would have to be paid for accordingly.
Yes. You can have up to
5 different classifications linking to the same ad. There will be
an additional $10 charge for each additional Classification after
the first one.
- Is my credit card payment over the internet secure?
Yes. Your credit card will be processed by Authorize.Net the world’s
largest and most secure real-time credit card processor.
- How do I make a change in an existing ad?
Go to CHANGE AN AD and follow the instructions. To do this you will need your Ad Number and Ad Password. Without the proper identification you will be unable to make any changes in your ad until it is time to renew your ad.
- How do I remove an existing ad?
If you want to completely remove the ad prior to the end of your contract,
click on CONTACT US and let us know what you want to do. You must
include your Ad Number and Ad Password. Without the proper identification
we will be unable to do this and your ad will expire at the end of
the 12th month from the date it was accepted.
