2. Reserve your ad space

   Print a blank Display Ad Reservation Form (pdf)

   The reservation form is in pdf format. If you do not already have it, you will need to download and install Acrobat Reader (free) to view and print this form. Once completed, the form can be faxed or returned to us via US Mail.

   If you are not familiar with the form, and you need assistance, (or if you’d like us to complete it for you) please call or email us! It would be our pleasure to complete the form for you over the phone. Just give us a ring; we’ll take the information down and immediately return a completed copy to you for your records.

   If you would prefer the convenience of completing the reservation form on your computer screen, contact us and we will email it to you in Microsoft Word format (works best with MS Office Word 2003). Simply complete the form by tabbing or clicking from field to field. Enter the requested information and click the appropriate check boxes. Then save the form with a new file name and attach it to an email addressed to advertising@uua.org.

   Upon receipt of your completed reservation form, we’ll confirm your ad space and rate by returning a copy of the form to you for your records.

3. Technical Specifications

   Magazine publishing has certainly become a high-tech phenomenon but that’s no reason for it to be a nightmare for an advertiser to get a distinctive and well-designed ad into a magazine. One thing that has become relatively standard is that the small business or non-profit advertiser needs to find a reliable graphic designer to produce the ad in an electronic format that is compatible with the publication’s printing requirements. We request that you share our Display Advertisement Technical Specifications with a graphic designer you know and trust. They may seem like a new language to you but any qualified designer will understand and be able to comply with these specs.

   Beyond the technical mumbo-jumbo, here’s what you, the advertiser, need to know in order to assure that the ad materials sent to us by you or your designer are complete:

   1. All ad materials must be submitted in proper format on or before the deadline for that issue of UU World.
   2. Ads that are not 100% in compliance with our specifications cannot be published.
   3. ALL digital ads must be accompanied by a hard copy of the ad for proofing purposes. This hard copy can be faxed or sent by US Mail, but it cannot be emailed. This proof is used to ensure that the fonts, the layout, and other design elements are identical to what you see on a print-out of the ad file from your own printer or on a hard copy proof you have received from your designer.
   4. A design charge may apply to your ad if we need to make corrections after receipt from you or your designer.


4. Design Services
