Haley and Lauren, who recently graduated with MBAs, are opening a new shoe
boutique called The Pampered Soul in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, which is classified as a
Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) with more than 100,000 people. It’s also home of
The University of Southern Mississippi. Haley and Lauren will offer national brands of
shoes that are not available in the department stores in the mall, and their primary target
market will be women ages 18 to 35. They’ve rented a location on the main street in
front of the USM campus. The owners realize that most of their business will come
from within a five-mile radius and want to limit their advertising to those potential

Hattiesburg American, but they don’t have a basic understanding of advertising in
newspapers. Provide a brief overview of the types of advertising in newspapers, noting
