The Sacramento PC Users Group offers space for display advertisements in our newsletter, Sacra Blue, and its eBlue online newsletter at reasonable rates. We offer in-person advertising at our general meetings. We also offer members space for classified ads, consultant ads, and selling equipment at meetings at no cost. Display
Advertisements Month-by-month contracts let you advertise for one month at a time. You supply the printed ad at the size you want in Sacra Blue, and you can also place a 468 pixel by 60 pixel banner ad that will be placed one of our eBlue pages during the month your ad appears in Sacra Blue. Multi-month contracts come in 3, 6, and 12-month increments. When you sign up for a multi-month contract, you not only get Sacra Blue advertising every month. You get an eBlue ad banner for every month your ad appears in Sacra Blue. You get a free meeting table for one of every three months your ad appears in Sacra Blue so you can promote your business in person. Important! For a list of ad deadlines, a breakdown of multi-month contract costs, and a list and visual representation of ad sizes/placements, download our 1999 Media Kit. You need the Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the Kit. What to Submit. We require camera-ready copy provided either on paper, film, or as a file attachment. Files should be in PDF, TIF, or EPS format. Ads must be properly sized. Special placement charges. Specific placement requests entail an extra $25 surcharge. Deadlines.
We require advertising insertion orders by the third Wednesday of each
month and receipt of the ad by the fourth Wednesday of the month to ensure
publication in the following month's issue. See "How to Submit
Ads" below for submission information. Commercial Advertising at
Meetings Tables. We offer 8-foot by 3-foot tables around the perimeter of the meeting hall and in the lobby for companies to advertise their wares before and after general meetings. Best of all, these tables cost only $40 per meeting. Seat advertising. Your advertising can be even more direct if you place your business's ad flyers on the audience chairs before the meeting. It only costs you $30 to place ads on 200 seats. For more information
