The Country Register of The Dakotas was designed to be a major link in connecting interested customers with all of the following: Specialty Gift Shops including Home and Garden Decor´, old-fashioned Country and Victorian shops as well as what is considered Modern Country furniture and accessories, antiques and collectibles, tea shops and tea rooms, the quilting and needlework industry, and various current crafts such as stamping, scrapbooking, paper arts and beading as well as special services and bed and breakfasts in the states of North & South Dakota.

The publication is full of stories and useful information for readers interested in the various shopping possibilities and activities going on locally.

The Country Register gives shop owners a place to promote, inform and even try out their writing skills if they so desire.

The Country Register newspaper makes a handy 'carry it with you kind of guide' and it's layout makes for the need of less maps. It guides the reader according to areas of the state and within a city as well as putting special shows and events into their own section.

Advertising that is published in The Country Register can be billed two ways. The first option would be to send in your payment with your camera-ready or rough draft ad on or before the deadline for that issue.

If you decide to send in your camera-ready or rough draft ad without payment, your second option is to be billed via mail with payment being due upon receipt.

Any payment not paid after 30 days from billing will be considered past-due. If a past due payment remains on your account for more than 90 days, advertising will not be available to you in future publications until payment is made. After that time period, accounts may be sent to collections. Late fees will also be applied.

Invoices are either delivered along with the papers or mailed.
