Common Questions
Express Checkout FAQ
Do I need to schedule a consultation before purchasing?
No. Express Checkout is designed for standardized, fixed-scope placements that can be purchased online. If you need something customized, use our contact page or schedule a free consultation.
What happens after I purchase?
HDJ will collect the information needed for your selected placement, including your business details, target URL, product or service information, and any relevant brand assets. We then create the placement and send it for your review before publication.
What is the difference between a Sponsored Native Article and an Advertorial?
A Sponsored Native Article is topic-first: the article is built around a useful industry subject and your company is incorporated contextually. An Advertorial is brand-first: the product, service or company is the central subject and the commercial relationship is clearly disclosed.
What is the difference between a Buyer’s Guide Feature and a Business Page?
A Buyer’s Guide Feature is designed for product or vendor research and comparison. A Business Page is a year-round company profile in the HDJ Business Directory focused on ongoing company visibility and contact discovery.
Are content placements permanent?
Sponsored Native Articles, Advertorials, Buyer’s Guide Features and Press Releases are intended as permanent publications under their standard scope. Business Pages are annual directory placements and remain active for the paid term.
Can agencies purchase placements for clients?
Yes. Agencies may purchase standard placements for clients as long as the business, destination URL and subject matter fit Heavy Duty Journal’s audience and publishing standards.
Can I purchase several placements or request a custom package?
Yes. For multi-placement programs or a package tailored to your business, schedule a free consultation or contact our team.
