2. Reserve your ad space

   The reservation form is in pdf format. If you do not already have it, you will need to download and install Acrobat Reader (free) to view and print this form. Once completed, the form can be faxed or returned to us via US Mail. If you would prefer the convenience of completing the reservation form electronically, contact us and we will email it to you in Microsoft Word format.

   Upon receipt of your completed reservation form, we’ll confirm your ad space and rate by returning a copy of the form to you for your records.

3. Technical Specifications

   Magazine publishing has certainly become a high-tech enterprise, but that’s no reason for it to be a nightmare for an advertiser to get a distinctive and well-designed ad into a magazine. It has become relatively standard that the small business or non-profit advertiser needs to find a reliable graphic designer to produce the ad in an electronic format that is compatible with the publication’s printing requirements. We request that you share our Display Advertisement Technical Specifications with a graphic designer you know and trust. Any qualified designer will understand and be able to comply with these specs.

   Beyond the technical jargon, here’s what you, the advertiser, need to know in order to assure that the ad materials sent to us by you or your designer are complete:

   1. All ad materials must be submitted in proper format on or before the issue deadline.
   2. Ads that are not 100% in compliance with our specifications cannot be published.
   3. ALL digital ads must be accompanied by a hard copy of the ad for proofing purposes. This hard copy can be faxed or sent by US Mail. This proof is used to ensure that the fonts, layout, and other design elements are identical to what you see on a print-out of the ad file from your own printer or on a hard copy proof you have received from your designer.
   4. A design charge may apply to your ad if we need to make corrections after receipt from you or your designer.
