Advertising in Sacra Blue
(Sacra Blue is the official newsletter of the SPCUG)

Thanks for your interest in advertising in Sacra Blue Magazine. Below is some general information regarding our advertising rates and schedules.

Briefly, I'm an Advertising Rep for "Sacra Blue" Magazine, the monthly periodical of the Sacramento PC Users Group, Inc. A full page ad (as an example) sells for $240, and there are discounts offered for "prepaying" and/or "consecutive runs". With prepaying and 12 consecutive runs, a full page ad could sell for as low as $178.50. You can change the content of the ad each month as you would like.

We also rent "table space" at our Main Meeting on the 3rd Wednesday of each month. The table space is rented at $40.00 per table, and they are approximately 8' long, but you may use an additional one if available. We also offer another program called "seat space" where we allow business advertising flyers to be placed on the approximately 400 seats for $60.

For rentals and/or Sacra Blue ads, please contact Eric Butow (our Editor) to confirm your intentions with an insertion order by e-mail at ebutow@jps.net or by postal mail (mailing address below) stating:

  • Full Name
  • Company Name
  • Work Phone
  • Contact
  • Item (ad size, monthly or contract, prepaid or billed, amount)
  • Mailing Address
  • E-mail and Web Site Addresses
  • Then upload your graphics file in either .EPS, .PCX, .TIF, or .PDF format to Eric at , or send camera ready copy to Eric (mailing address below). If you're prepaying your ad, send payment to our Treasurer (mailing address below) when you send the insertion order, or if NOT prepaying we will be happy to bill you later. The cut-off day for magazine ad insertion orders is the 3rd Wednesday of each month for the next month's issue, and the cut-off day for copy is the next (4th) Wednesday. You can contact Eric about the "table" and/or "seat" space right up to the day before the meeting night.......that's it!
