Auto Auction Shopper/Used Car News (UCN) is published on the first and third Monday of every month. Advertising space reservations must be confirmed by Friday, 5 p.m., 10 days prior to the issue date.

Production Deadlines

The production deadline is Monday noon, 7 days prior to the issue date. Completed and approved ads must be received at UCN offices, ready for publication by that time. If a holiday occurs on that Monday, the production deadline becomes noon on the preceding business day. If UCN is preparing the ad, the advertiser should provide all copy, images and ad concepts in time to meet the production deadline (usually an additional 5-7 days).

Insert Deadlines

Advertiser-prepared inserts must be delivered to the newspaper's distribution center (Gannett Offset, 8775 Zachary Lane North, Maple Grove, MN 55369-4526) by Monday one week prior to the publication date. Digital files for inserts being printed by Auto Auction Shopper/Used Car News must be received at publication offices (see "Advertising Delivery" below) by close of business, 10 business days prior to the publication date.

Cancellation Deadlines

The cost of ads that are cancelled by the advertiser after the Friday space reservation deadline, or that remain unapproved by the advertiser after the Monday production deadline, will still be billed. For more information, call your sales representative or the Sales Manager at 800-794-0760.
