The Michigan Press Association, in partnership with Customized Newspaper Advertising, offers member newspapers the opportunity to participate in two advertising networks; Statewide Classified and 2x2/2x4 small space display networks. This program is a revenue generating initiative for MPA and individual newspapers.

In each program, participating newspapers donate space and agree to run the network ads 90% of the time in their paper. In exchange for this commitment, a rebate check is sent one time per year to each participant. This rebate check amount is determined by the number of ads sold into the network. A percentage of every ad sold is put into this account and sent back to newspapers annually.
Another benefit to newspapers includes the opportunity to sell these networks to local clients. A newspaper retains 50 percent of the selling price for any ads it sells into the network. That’s 50% instant commission!
Selling into the network is easy! Send the ad to Customized Newspaper Advertising and they'll take care of the rest.
