Advertising

A new advertising policy is now in place as of June 1, 2000. The goal of the policy is two-fold:

• To rebalance the amount of news and advertising and make them more equivalent each month; and
• To make the amount of space in the Newsletter more predictable so that organizations can more readily count on having room to announce their many activities on the Ranch.

    For the advertisers, the change will mean that roughly the same amount of space in the Newsletter is available for advertising as last year. But the space may not be available in a specific month.

The new policy is as follows:

• All text and advertising copy is due on the 10th of the month preceding publication.
• Advertising space is limited in each issue. In particular, the number of double, full-page, and half page ads is limited, and the total number of ad pages is limited. A backup list for ads will be will be maintained.
• Reservations for space in the next issue of the Newsletter will be accepted, on a space-available basis, beginning on the 1st of the preceding month. Camera-ready, advertising copy with payment is due on or before the 10th of the month. For example, reservations for an ad in the July issue will be accepted beginning June 1; payment and copy will be due by June 10.
• Advertising space can be reserved ahead of time for one issue per quarter. Quarters are defined as January-March, April-June, July-September, and October-December. Payment is due at the time of reservation and secures that price regardless of any subsequent increase in advertising rates. Reservations for the next year are accepted beginning November 1.
• Because of this new advertising policy, no prepayment of ads, except those reserved per quarter, is possible.
• Double-page ad price is $800, to be comparable to other premium pages.

Please phone the Advertising Manager at 695-6916 only between 9 am and 5 pm. Advertising should be submitted in camera-ready format by the 10th of the month to the Advertising Manager and must be accompanied by a check. Additional costs incurred for prep-aration of ads for publication will be billed separately.

All advertising is accepted on a space-available, first-come, first-serve
basis. Monthly ad rates are determined by the SRCA Executive
Board; sizes listed below are width by height; no inserts or other sizes
are accepted. Classified ads also are published on the SRCA web page.
