ADVERTISING DEADLINES
  • There are 'Advertising Deadlines' and then there are 'Advertising Deadlines'. You smile, but it's the truth. We pride ourselves in being able to accommodate any situation. But it's in your best interest to avoid the infamous 'Drop Dead' date.
  • If we are working with you to help build your ad (part of our complimentary service), it's important to leave ample time for the creative concept to be fine-tuned and for proofs to move back and forth so there are no glitches in the final ad. Attaching blame (no matter to whom or how accurately) does not cor-rect an incorrect ad.
  • It's not just about getting the ad right, it's also about placing your ad in the best possible position for maximum impact while maintaining a pleasing look in the magazine. As you know, time for curatorial reflection is very valuable whether in a gallery or laying out a magazine.
