Successful Advertising

The mark of successful advertising is that people talk about it. A unique message lasts because it is relevant and timely. "Me too" advertising is quickly forgotten - if read at all. Advertising that is edgy and honest moves through all the clutter and finds a place in your memory. This is the only kind of ads created by the Church Ad Project.

9 Steps to Placing
Newspaper Ads
  1. Select one of our ads by clicking on one of the above categories.
  2. Order your ad on-line, fax, or phone by clicking Place Order button on your left.
  3. Determine what church information you want to include at the bottom of your ad.
  4. Create a sample of your newspaper ad on either your computer or freehand.
  5. Measure the finished size of your ad with your church information. Your ad can then be proportionately enlarged or reduced based on ad rates and your church's budget.
  6. Select the best local newspaper to place your ad in.
  7. Send either the ad slick (camera ready copy) or electronic file of your ad to the newspaper. The newspaper will add your church name and information at the bottom of the ad.
  8. Request a proof of the ad for your approval.
  9. Make sure the newspaper returns the ad so you can use it again.

Electronic PDF Format

All of our ads are available in an electronic PDF format. For an additional $5.00 per ad, we will send you a PDF copy of your ad on a CD-ROM along with the ad slick. For a $25.00 fee, the working electronic files of our most popular ads can be provided in Macintosh™ - QuarkXPress™.


Ad Slick Specifications

Our ad slicks are printed with a 65 line screen and can be reduced no more than 40% or to approximately 4" x 5.25". When calculating your ad rates, a 3-column ad usually requires about 27 column inches while a 2-column ad requires about 12 column inches before adding the church's information.

 

 

Licensing - Buying an Ad Means Purchasing the Rights to Use an Ad

The Church Ad Project sells its ads with a one year license attached to each ad. The year long license begins from the date of sale. This is a non-exclusive purchase and does not guarantee exclusive rights in any particular zip code, area, or city. The customer may choose to continue the license for another year by purchasing another license. Exclusive territory licenses are available for an additional fee.
It may be advantageous for a church to purchase multiple ads because re-licensing of any ad will be at the original invoiced rate. If a church buys ten ads, for example, paying $31.50 for a $45.00 ad, then that is the rate for re-licensing any or all of those ads. The Church Ad Project sends its customers a re-licensing reminder notice prior to each year's renewal date.
