Illinois paper involves local businesses in auction
Posted by Emily Dilling on June 30, 2009 at 2:25 AM
Illinois' Carmi Times has invited local businesses to take part in an auction that will be held exclusively through their newspaper, The Carmi Times reported.
Times advertising executives plan to contact local establishments and offer them the opportunity to put their products up for auction. A full-page list of the available items will then be published in the newspaper's July 13 edition, along with a "bid ticket" that readers can use to name their price on the proposed merchandise.

Once the bids have been reviewed by the newspaper staff, another full
page ad will announce the highest bids for the items and offer readers
another bid ticket. The auction will continue until July 30, when
highest bidders will be notified and be given a certificate redeemable
for their chosen item.
In exchange for offering products, local businesses will be granted advertising space in the paper equal to the value of the items offered up for auction.
