Ad Building
Best Buys Guide provides complete custom ad design service free of charge for any clients who advertise in our magazine. Our talented team of graphic designers have decades of combined experience in the newspaper and magazine publishing industry. Their expertise is unmatched in designing the perfect ad that is both eye-catching and appropriate for your particular business. Ads are created with the client in mind, with the goal of standing out not only from other publications, but also from each other within our own magazine, to deliver an advertisement that jumps out from all others.
Ad Submission
If you wish to submit your own ad, there are a few simple rules that need to be followed when building ads for our publication.
- Ad size must conform to the set dimensions. Please refer to the spec sheets below for ad dimensions. For your convenience, we also have Adobe InDesign, PhotoShop, and Illustrator templates available for download. Over/under-sized ads or those out of proportion will need to be adjusted at our discretion to fit the book.
- Art and photographs need to be 300 dpi (dots per inch) and 4-color process (CMYK). Best Buys Guide cannot be held responsible for the final results if files require adjustment.
- The minimum size for copy or text is 6 points to be readable. Anything below that may need to be resized.
- Unless embedded, all linked files and fonts need to be included.
- Common sense and other rules of etiquette need to be adhered to. If you have any questions, please ask your Sales Representative.
The following file formats are acceptable:
- InDesign: Must have all linked files, images and fonts sent with document.
- PDF: Needs to be press quality with fonts embedded.
- Photoshop
- Illustrator: Must have all linked files and images embedded in document and fonts converted to outlines.
- JPEG: Maximum image quality.
Please note that due to many e-mail services compressing PNG files when sent electronically, we are unable to accept that file format. Also, we are only able to accept the native files for Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator. If you built your ad in another program (e.g. Canva, CorelDraw, Microsoft Publisher, etc.), please export your file as a PDF with the press quality setting for best results.
If you have any questions, please contact the Art Department at artdept@bestbuysguide.com.
