Frequent Advertiser Bonus Program (FAB)

We’ve been searching for a way to reward those who run ads or inserts with us month after month. What we’ve come up with is a bit like the frequent flyer programs the airlines offer. We call it our Frequent Advertiser Bonus (FAB) Program.

Each time you pay for ad space or inserts in our May 2009 or subsequent issue, we credit up to 10% of your payment to your FAB account balance. The percentage that applies is based on your current FAB account balance. The greater your FAB account balance, the greater the percentage that applies. At any point, you can use all or part of your FAB account balance to reduce the cost of an ad or insert you want to run. Just let us know when you reserve the ad space how much from your FAB account you want to use toward the cost of the ad.

All new advertisers start with FAB account balances of zero. Here is how the subsequent percentage earned is calculated:

FAB Account Balance	Percentage Earned
$0 - $9.99	2%
$10 - $34.99	5%
$35 or more	10%

An example: Suppose you are a new advertiser and you run a $50 ad. When you pay for that ad, $1 (2% of $50) is credited to your FAB account. You can use that to reduce the cost of running another $50 ad to $49. That would return your FAB account balance to zero. Alternatively, you can leave your credits in your FAB account. Whenever your FAB balance is between $10 and $34.99 then 5% of your subsequent payments will be added to your FAB account. Whenever your FAB account balance is $35 or more, you will be credited 10% on subsequent ad payments.

Advertisers who have purchased space in advance will have their initial FAB account balance set based on the amount of money they have on account as of our May 2009 issue as follows: 2% of the first $500 they have on account, 5% of the next $500, and 10% of everything beyond that.

All our advertisers are automatically enrolled in the program. You don’t have to do anything except advertise in OCN. The more you advertise, the more you save.

FAB account balances never expire, are not transferable or refundable, and have no cash value. OCN reserves the right to modify or cancel the program without notice at any time.
