Featured ad of the month

Four featured spots run on the front page at a time — two stacked on each side of the ads — and every visitor sees them. A spot is $199 and runs for 30 days from the day it is approved.

What’s open right now

4 spots are open right now. No one is waiting ahead of you, so once your listing is approved it starts showing the same day and runs through September 29, 2026.

How the queue works

The four spots don’t all change over on the first of the month. Each one runs its own 30 days from the day it was approved, so they finish on different dates and a spot opens up whenever the earliest-finishing one finishes.

Say four listings were approved on the 17th, the 20th, the 24th and the 30th of August. They end on the 16th, 19th, 23rd and 29th of September. The next person in line starts on September 16th — the day the first one ends — and the person after them starts on the 19th.

It is first come, first served, by the minute you asked. If three spots are confirmed and two people apply, and both are approvable, the one who submitted first takes the fourth spot and the other waits for the first opening. Nobody jumps the line by calling twice.

We review every listing before it runs, the same as an ad. Nothing is charged for a listing that doesn’t run— if we can’t approve it, you don’t pay.

Your choice, and you can change it while it runs:

  • Your own website or Facebook page — anywhere you like, we just need the address.
  • One of your ads on here— the spot opens that ad’s page, which is usually the better bet if you’re featuring something specific you’re selling.

Request a spot

A phone number or an email — either is enough, both is better.

A photo, a logo, a scan of your card — anything that reads at a glance. Your phone shrinks it before it sends, so a normal photo is fine. Haven’t got one ready? Leave it blank and send it later; your place in the queue is held either way.

Paying for it

Three ways to pay for a featured spot:

  • Call (330) 275-1603 — talk to a person, pay by card over the phone, or arrange a check.
  • Email support@theplainexchange.com — tell us what you want and we’ll set it up.
  • Pay online sign in and you can pay $199 by card in a minute.
