| STEP 1 | Make sure your ad is the
right
size,
in a CMYK color space and is in one of these formats (in order of preference) .PDF Adobe Acrobat .PSD Photoshop format (flattened) .TIF .PNG (recommended for transparent layer) .BMP .JPG (least preferable format) We DO NOT take ads in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint or in .GIF format. Here are some templates in a variety of file formats you can use to get started. A good rule of thumb - if your ad is under one megabyte (1MG, 1,000KB), it will not print at the best possible resolution. Images from the web are generally unsuitable. |
| STEP 2 | You
MUST use the following file naming convention to upload your ad: The file name should be broken up into three parts separated by hyphens so we can tell who the ad is from and when it will run. Name-adsize-issue.Filetype. Example: yourbusinessname-quarterpage-july2010.PDF (the .PDF may not be your file type and is for example only.) So if you have a cleaning business and are uploading a 1/2 page ad for November, the file name might look like this: millercleaningcompany-halfpage-november2009.PDF |
| STEP 3 | If you are sure of your ad copy and have read and adhered to the standards described above, you are ready to upload your ad. Please fill in all the blanks when using the upload form . Thank you. |
