FAQ
Why would I want to place a classified ad with the association instead of a generic classifieds site?
Placing an ad with ODA allows you to target your ad to a specific audience. Unlike other classified ad sources (local newspaper, other online classified sites, etc.), a classified ad with ODA gives you exposure to the people who would be most interested in your ad. The print magazine contains an advertisement for this website, ensuring you get maximum exposure for your ad.
Who sees my ad?
All members of ODA receive the publication, which they often display in their offices for the benefit of other employees and patients.
Why would I want a hyperlink for my ad?
A hyperlink makes your online ad more noticeable and accessible. A hyperlink in your web ad will allow viewers to click on your web address or email and be instantly connected to where you want them to go.
Why would I want to box my ad?
A box makes your printed classified more noticeable and accessible. Your ad will have a shaded screen behind it, drawing attention to it, making it stand out from the ads around it.
Can I have a picture or logo with my ad?
Classified ads are not available with a picture or logo. However, you may consider placing a traditional print ad in the magazine, which can easily accommodate a picture or logo. For more information on print ads, please visit www.llm.com/advert.html or contact John Garbett at john@llm.com.
Do I get a discount for placing an ad in the publication of more than one association?
No. Each association (OMA, ODA, and KCMS) is a separate entity. We merely facilitate the ad submission process for them and are not authorized to offer discounts on their behalf outside of the member discount.
Will I receive an invoice for my ad?
No. We do not issue invoices for classified ads. You will receive a confirmation email once you have submitted your ad, which will have your order number and ad details, and can be considered an invoice.
How do I pay for my ad?
After filling out the ad submission form, you will be directed to a secure site that allows you to pay for your ad immediately via credit card.
What if I can’t/don’t want to pay by credit card?
Payment can be made with a check payable to LLM Publications, Inc., and mailed to 8201 SE 17th Ave, Portland OR 97202. Please be aware that this may delay the publication of your ad, as payment must be received before an ad can go online or in the magazine/newsletter.
Do I get a receipt for my payment?
Yes. The secure credit card site provides you with a receipt. If you choose to mail us a check, we will send you a receipt via email or return address, whichever is provided.
When will my ad be posted online/in print?
Ads are posted to the web on the Friday closest to the 1st and 15th of every month. Print date varies depending on the association. Some issues may come out at the beginning of the month while others will be printed closer to the end of the month.
If I want my ad to appear in next month’s print issue, what is the deadline for submission?
Ads for the following month’s print issue must be submitted on or before the 10th of the current month (i.e. to appear in the February issue, you must submit your ad by January 10th).
If I cancel my ad part-way through its run, do I get a refund for the unused months?
No. Ads are paid for up front and are non-refundable.
How do I renew my ad?
When your ad expires, or is close to expiring, you must re-submit your ad using the same process as the first time. Re-submission can be done at any time, and the new run will begin when the current ad expires.
How can I get a copy of the print publication that contains my ad?
To obtain a copy of the printed publication, you must contact the association directly. To contact ODA please visit www.oregondental.org.
How do I become a member of the association?
You must contact the association directly. To contact ODA please visit www.oregondental.org.
Is this site endorsed by the association?
Yes. We have set up this website at the request of ODA to facilitate classified ads in their official publication. We work with them directly to ensure a quality publication that meets their standards.
