FAQ

Why would I want to place a classified ad with the association instead of a generic classifieds site?
Placing an ad with OMA allows you to target your ad to a specific audience. Unlike other classified ad sources (local newspaper, other online classified sites, etc.), a classified ad with OMA gives you exposure to the people who would be most interested in your ad, specifically doctors and practice managers.

Why would I want a hyperlink for my ad?
A hyperlink makes your online ad more noticeable and accessible. A hyperlink in your web ad will allow viewers to click on your web address or email and be instantly connected to where you want them to go.

Can I have a picture or logo with my ad?
Classified ads are not available with a picture or logo. However, you may consider placing a traditional print ad in the magazine, which can easily accommodate a picture or logo. For more information on print ads, please visit www.assocationpublications.com or contact Roy Melani at roy@llm.com.

Do I get a discount for placing an ad in the publication of more than one association?
No. Each association (OMA, ODA, and KCMS) is a separate entity. We merely facilitate the ad submission process for them and are not authorized to offer discounts on their behalf outside of the member discount.

Will I receive an invoice for my ad?
No. We do not issue invoices for classified ads. You will receive a confirmation email once you have submitted your ad, which will have your order number and ad details, and can be considered an invoice.

How do I pay for my ad?
By credit card: After filling out the form below and clicking “purchase”, you will be taken to our online secure credit card processing form. Please note: For security reasons, we are unable to take credit card information over the phone or by email. Please make sure you are ready to pay before you submit. If you do not fill out the online payment form immediately after submitting, you will have to resubmit the entire ad in order to get back to the online payment form page. All ads must be paid for before they will run.

By check: After you’ve submitted the form below, you may mail a check to: LLM Publications, 8201 SE 17th Ave, Portland, OR 97202. Please reference the provided Order Number of your ad in the memo field. Please note: Your ad will not run until payment is received, and invoices are not issued. Confirmation emails are sent after ad submission.

Do I get a receipt for my payment?
Yes. The secure credit card site provides you with a receipt via email.

When will my ad be posted online/in the newsletter?
Ads are posted to the web each Friday. The STAT e-newsletter is emailed out in the beginning of each month. This publication contains a link to this website.

If I want my ad to appear in next month’s print issue, what is the deadline for submission?
To appear in the print issue of the quarterly Medicine in Oregon magazine, ads must be received by July 1, 2011; September 30, 2011; December 30, 2011; and March 30, 2012. If your ad has expired before that time, your ad may not make it into a print issue.

If I cancel my ad part-way through its run, do I get a refund for the unused months?
No. Ads are paid for up front and are non-refundable.

How do I renew my ad?
When your ad expires, or is close to expiring, you must re-submit your ad using the same process as the first time. Re-submission can be done at any time, and the new run will begin when the current ad expires.

How can I get a copy of the publication that contains my ad?
To obtain a copy of the publication, you must contact the association directly. To contact OMA please visit www.theoma.org.

How do I become a member of the association?
You must contact the association directly. To contact OMA please visit www.theoma.org.

Is this site endorsed by the association? Yes. We have set up this website at the request of OMA to facilitate classified ads in their official publication. We work with them directly to ensure a quality publication that meets their standards.
