AD REVIEW FEE EXPLAINED
Every ad placed online or in a publication goes through a review process by our staff to ensure quality. Even if artwork is sent camera ready it still is reviewed by at least two quality staff members. Because of this process; starting 2/3/2015 we are adding a $5 USD Ad Review Fee. You will notice this fee on your invoice. If you have any questions regarding this fee please contact your sales rep via phone: (800)237-9851, email: sales@russelljohns.com or you may mail your question to:
