Orinda Chamber of Commerce Email Advertising Program

Ad Rates and Specifications
Now you have the opportunity to put your message in our email newsletter to
Orinda Chamber Members. Background:
The Orinda Chamber of Commerce communicates with its more than 200 members and
other subscribers via email on a periodic basis. As part of this communications
process, the Chamber publishes a monthly newsletter entitled E-News. Each
monthly issue (generally containing the same content) is sent twice, once early
in the month and then later during the same month.
Example: Place your ad in next month's E-News and it
will be sent to the Chamber's email subscribers twice during the month
for the low monthly rate specified below. In comparison, postage alone for two mailed
postcards to the same members would cost almost 30% more than the highest $60 ad
rate.

Ad Submittals:
Ads for creation by the Chamber graphics design team:
If you do not have artwork completed for your ad, we can create an ad for you.
The cost of creation and ONE revision after your review of the ad we create
for you is included in the above advertising rates when you follow the
following guidelines: a) Provide the ad "copy" you desire in
an email to info@orindachamber.org.
Keep the wording to a minimum to enable the ad copy you desire to fit into the
ad space, and be legible.
b) If you desire your logo or some other image in your ad, attach to your
email the image (jpg images are preferred) you want included in the ad (or
tell us where the image is located at your web site). We can reduce images,
but not enlarge them to fit your ad. c) Graphics design work
we perform beyond one revision of your ad or our development of original
artwork will involve additional charges, so check with us first if you cannot
provide the items noted in sections a) and b) above.
If your already have your ad created by your own
graphics designer: If you have an ad already created in
the size 284 pixels wide by 134 pixels high (your own graphics designer can
create this ad for you), send the ad file attached to your email. The file
format we require is "jpg."
What if you want to use your business card as an ad?
The size of the above ads are obviously much smaller than a business card,
and the ads are not the same width/height ratio as the typical business card.
This causes problems in simply reducing your business card to fit the size of
the ad. For example, some information on your full-size business card that is
large enough to read might be so small after reduction as to be very hard to
read - or unreadable. In such cases, we can usually re-set type to overcome
this. Wording in images or artwork on your card cannot be enlarged, however.
You can mail us your business card or send a color scan of it, and we will let
you know if we can create your E-News ad from it.
Deadlines for Ad Reservations:
Ad reservations are on a "first-come" basis, so try to make
your reservation early. There are only three ad spaces in each E-News issue.
Call us at 925-254-3909 or email us at
info@oringachamber.org to reserve your ad space. We will let you know what
space is available - and when we must receive your ad submittal. Ad submittals
received after the 20th of the month prior to the publication date you have
reserved may cause your ad to be placed in a later issue as space becomes
available.
