Advertiser terms
These rules govern what may be placed on a Hub City Mailer card. They reflect USPS Every Door Direct Mail standards, Mississippi state law, and federal advertiser-level regulation.
Not accepted
We decline these categories without exception, other than the carve-outs noted.
- Cannabis dispensary or delivery
- THC products (exception: hemp CBD under 0.3% THC with documentation on file)
- Cigarettes, smokeless tobacco, and vaping retail (exception: cigar shops)
- Sexually explicit services
- Private lottery or illegal sweepstakes
Accepted with attestation
These categories are accepted, but the advertiser must attest to the conditions listed before placement.
Alcohol (bar, restaurant, liquor store)
Mississippi ABC pre-approval of ad copy is required, and the advertiser must be located in a wet area.
ABC pre-approval takes time. Copy submitted close to the print date cannot be placed. Plan this well ahead of the mail date, not in the final week.
Firearms dealer or range
Ad copy may not imply that a dealer can bypass background checks or any other federal requirement.
Payday and short-term lending
A current Mississippi Department of Banking and Consumer Finance license is required before placement.
Financial products with a credit component
A compliance warranty clause in the advertiser agreement is required.
Healthcare and wellness claims
FTC health claim compliance is warranted by the advertiser.
Accepted under standard terms
- General retail, food, services, and professional categories
- Cigar shops and humidors
- State lottery (official advertising)
- Hemp CBD, documented under 0.3% THC
Category exclusivity
One business per category, per card. The first paid claim holds the category for that card, and a second advertiser in the same category cannot be placed on it. A category that is taken stays taken until the next card opens. Whether two businesses fall in the same category is determined by Hub City Mailer at the time of placement.
Right to reject
Hub City Mailer reserves the right to reject ad copy that visibly violates these rules, in any category, including copy from an advertiser whose category is otherwise accepted.
Advertiser warranty
Advertiser warrants that the advertising content submitted for placement complies with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, including but not limited to USPS domestic mail standards, FTC advertising regulations, and any state-specific advertising restrictions applicable to the advertiser's industry and the mailing geography. Advertiser accepts sole responsibility for the legal compliance of its ad content. Hub City Media Group LLC is not liable for any legal violation arising from advertiser's content.
