As a business owner, how can I get an ad on SPF? 

It's literally as easy as the Texas Two Step! Go to the "Contact" page, fill out the form, pay for the ad, and your ad will be posted on the site in no more than three business days. 

Who is ShopPalestineFirst? 

SPF is a collaboration between East Texas Programming and Lone Star Online Creations. Both are local businesses who created the website for the sole purpose of promoting local businesses to the local consumer.

How does SPF advertise?

Once we get the website populated with a few ads, and can get it scheduled, we'll be using local billboards in the area to advertise our website. That way... as a business owner, when we get noticed, YOU get noticed! 

Does SPF cost anything to use? Do I have to buy a subscription? 

No! ShopPalestineFIRST is and will always be free for the consumer to use. Our sole purpose is to allow free, online "search and shop" for everyone in the area. We're here to help you find what you're looking for in just a few mouse-clicks! 

What if I don't have a website or Facebook Page?

No problem!  We can still create a simple ad with your business name, physical address, and phone number. It won't be clickable without a website or splash-page.  We are still working out the details on creating splash pages. We will update this spot when resolved.

Will you be tracking hits to the website?

As a matter of fact, yes we will. We will also be monitoring clicks to each catagory. 

Can I cancel at any time? 

Yes! You have the option to cancel at any time. Just send us a message via the website and we will cancel your ad subscription. Your ad will remain on the site until the last day of the month that is currently paid for. 

Can I appear in more than one category with my ad?

Yes, you can! However, there will be a one-time fee of $25 for multiple ad placements in more than two categories. 

Do I upload anything for my ad?

No. Just be sure and include the URL to your Facebook page or website when you purchase your ad online. We'll take it from there. 

How does a visitor find me on ShopPalestineFirst?

All it takes is three clicks from the Home page. Index, Category, and Your Ad or you can use the search box in the website header. 

My business is in Elkhart.  Can I be on ShopPalestineFirst?

Yes! Businesses in smaller communities within Anderson County can enjoy having their ad on ShopPalestineFIRST also. We will designate accordingly.

I don't see the category I think best fits my business.  Can you create a new category?

Yes, we can create new categories. However, due to the amount of work that it takes on our end, there is a one week wait for any new category to be created. Also, we do have a "Miscellaneous" category if your business just does not really fit one on the site.
