ADVERTISING INFORMATION
(Click here for) 2010 Media Kit 2-For 1 MARKET- PACKAGE: Twelve "Two-For-One" Editions are available wherein full-page (or larger) advertisers are entitled to a publicity page at no extra charge.. Typesetting and layouts for publicity pages are included. Six-time (or larger) advertisers are entitled to rent-free use of up to 2,000 names from the Automated Builder mailing lists for direct mail tie-ins—a $600 value. Thus, 12 promotional pages plus direct mail names are available for the cost of six pages. AD PROOFS: Color proof is required with submittal of all electronic ads. If a proof does not accompany the ad, AB will not be held responsible for correct color output.. If advertiser desires a color proof of electronically submitted ad AB will prepare and supply them for a fee. Ads submitted for design and production may be charged a fee for proofs.AD COMMISSIONS: Starting with the September 2009 Automated Builder edition every Edition will be available solely on the Internet. Because the Internet requires payment in advance all ads in Automated Builder in both digital and printed versions require advance payment. To help sweeten this departure from the norm all commissionable advertising allowances will change from 15% to 20%. Advertisers who wish to pay for a series of advertisements in advance will get additional percentage discounts. For advance payment of a three-time ad program, the discount will be 3%, for six advertisements 6%, for nine advertisements 9%, for twelve advertisements 12%, for 18 ads, 18%, or 32% total. Each digital edition of Automated Builder magazine will consist of two segments. The first segment will be entitled ‘Automated Builder At Home’ and will be aimed at the worldwide consumer audience. The second segment will be entitled ‘Automated Builder In Plant’ which is a mirror of our former mailed edition. In addition the readership of Automated Builder in the digital editions numbers will vault many times beyond our regular readership of some 60,000 and enjoy possible exposures in the millions. In both digital editions of AB advertisers are encouraged to include their website addresses, their e-mail addresses and any other contact systems you wish the inquirers to utilize. When potential customers contact your addresses, you can show them videos, animations or have a narrative to make your points regarding your specialized products. Note: AB’s program of allowing all full-page advertisers a full-page editorial item will be maintained. Or if you wish, a two-page spread ad will be billed as a single-page.
