8. Comply with local zoning regarding signage. 
9. If an advertisement is published in error, take steps to correct it immediately. 
10. Register a firm trade name(s), dba, with the Commission in order to advertise under a trade name, this includes trade names that are part of a logo. 
11. To advertise another Firm’s listing, first obtain written permission from the listing Firm. 
12. State the listing Firm’s name next to the property being advertised unless agreed otherwise by the listing Firm’s Broker. 
13. For Internet advertising, include the name and telephone number of the Licensee's Firm on every viewable web page of a website, except when advertising in electronic messages of limited information or characters, a Licensee shall provide a direct link to a display that is in complies with the advertising Rule.

7. Do not state the Licensee’s contact info in any size print larger than the Firm’s name and phone number. 
8. Do not state only the direct dial phone number or mobile number of a Licensee. 
9. Do not state the trade names or names of Licensees or groups of Licensees more frequently or prominently than that of the Firm name. This includes logos. 
10. Do not post or publish any advertisement without first obtaining the Broker’s written approval.
