Tips for getting the most from your classified ad:

1.       Pricing is front-loaded, so the more you stop and re-start an ad (running every other day, every Monday, etc.) the more expensive it will be.

2.       To grab more attention for your ad, consider adding a frame for $1/day or a picture/logo for $9/1st day and $1/day after that.

3.       We price by the word, not the character – so there is no need for any abbreviations!

4.       For more attention online, try a Classified Display Box ad. Email our display advertising department at advertising@thelantern.com for details on how to place one.

For more information, call the Lantern classified desk at 614-292-2031 or email lanternads@osu.edu.

Classified Ad Policies

Classified ads must be placed before 3:00 PM 2 business days prior to the publication date.  

Classified ads must be run in consecutive days.

Classified ads must be prepaid.  

Classifieds ads extended by contacting The Lantern BEFORE the last day of the run period may be extended under the same ad. Once the ad has expired the ad may be replaced under a new ad entry.

Refunds for prepaid classifieds may be requested in writing through email at Lanternads@osu.edu. Requests are generally granted only if there is an error in the ad which alters the advertisement significantly.

Online ads may appear one day later than the ad in The Lantern, but will then run one day longer as well.

When placing the ads through our offices, we ask that you submit the ads in writing through email at Lanternads@osu.edu, or fax to 614-292-3722. 

This helps us make sure your ads are placed so that your products and services are presented as you want them to be seen.

If you have questions or need personal assistance, please call 614-292-2031. Thank you for choosing The Lantern to assist you with your advertising needs!
