If you need help with placing an ad, please call 828-406-0773 from 6:30 - 9:30 pm and we will be glad to help you.

Please read carefully:

MOST ads for individuals run free of charge. FREE Ads will run a minimum of 8 weeks or until you notify us to remove it, whichever comes first.

(Please check below to see if your ad category requires payment.)

You may include a photo of your item if you prefer.

SOME ADS for Individuals and Businesses (see "Definition of A Business" below) must still be prepaid and the prices are a little different. Please check below to see. If your ad category DOES require payment, your ad will not appear on the site until payment is received.

A hyperlink for a website or Facebook page is included in the price. You may add your logo or a photo for an additional one-time payment of $2 (per the number of weeks your ad runs). Prices are $7 per ad per week ($9 with photo), $14 for 2 weeks ($18 with photo), or $21 for three weeks ($27 with photo). When you pay for 3 weeks, the 4th week is FREE!

You may submit your ads through our website or email them (with or without attached photos) to Classifieds@SHNPlus.com PLEASE NOTE: You may submit up to three photos along with your ad and they WILL BE available online. However, only one of them will appear in the actual (PDF version) of the paper.

Please do not submit copyrighted photos.

“Business” for our purposes is defined as a person or persons, partnership, corporation or “home-based business” selling a product or animal or providing a service (including housing) on an ongoing basis, for the purpose of making a profit, as opposed to John Doe selling his car or Jane Doe selling a piece of furniture.
