Leading
California dailies such as the San Diego Union Tribune and the San
Francisco Chronicle have incorporated the Cover Your Ad™ program
into their advertising creation and proofing process.
For these newspapers, the value justification for
Cover Your Ad™ was clear. In the last two years, California
has been hit by over 1100 compliance lawsuits. Under federal
regulations, dealerships publishing non-compliant automotive advertisements
can
be fined up to $10,000 per violation – for every
day the advertisement appears. The penalties can be staggering.
It's no wonder that since 2001, the newspaper industry
has experienced a decline in automotive advertising revenue.
This is the reality that creates a compelling business
case for incorporating Cover Your Ad™ into your advertisement
creation process.
