Ad Size Specifications

Payment and Copy Deadlines

Camera-ready ad and payment are due by the fifth of the month prior to the month in which the ad will run (for example, an ad for the February newsletter is due by January 5).

Ad Submission Information

• All ads must be camera-ready (ready to run), and exactly sized to the specifications listed above.
• Please submit a Microsoft Publisher file or JPEG (.jpg) file with a resolution of 200 or higher, CMYK or gray scale via e-mail to ads@lamorindamomsclub.org. Include advertiser contact information.
• For ads that run for multiple months, LMC will substitute new ads with date changes, etc. Copy changes must be submitted to ads@lamorindamomsclub.org by the noted deadline.

Creative Hints

• Keep it simple!
• Avoid color. The newsletter is printed in black and white on colored paper.
• Limit use of photography. Photographs don’t reproduce well.
• Choose easy-to-read fonts (i.e., Times New Roman, Arial). Italicized words and fancy fonts are often distracting and difficult to read.
• Avoid clutter. Do not put too many words in the ad. Stick to key points; use bullets where possible.
• Be selective with graphics. Black and white works best. Black and white cartoon-type graphics and sketches are acceptable, as long as they are not too detailed.
