General information Frequency Discounts: ABI offers increasing discounts for 3-, 6- and 10-time insertions.

Position Requests: Position guarantees are available for an additional 10 percent.

Ads do not have to run consecutively, but must be the same size. To receive a frequency discount, the advertisers must complete an advertising contract for all the insertions that qualify them for the frequency discount. Advertisers will be short-rated if they do not use the number of insertions on which their rate was based during the year.

Requests may be in relation to a regular feature or in relation to other advertisements. Placement on a particular page is not guaranteed. Advertisers not requesting special positioning will be placed in the best possible position.

Insertion Orders: Insertion orders must be submitted for each advertisement, even if the advertiser is on contract. This gives the advertiser the flexibility to provide new artwork, request special positioning and monitor billing procedures. Insertion orders must be submitted by each issue’s ad space deadline. Tombstones: ABI accepts “tombstone” announcements regarding new clients, business accomplishments, anniversaries, office openings, new employees, etc. To run a tombstone, please submit an insertion order by the appropriate ad space deadline.

Pre-printed Inserts: Pre-printed inserts can be inserted into the ABI Journal, but must be presented to ABI in advance for approval. The insertion rate is based on acceptable-weight materials. Heavy-weight or multiple-page insertions will be considered, but the rate may be slightly higher. Pre-payment is required. Inserts should be no more than 4 pages front and back (8 sides). Cancellations: All cancellations must be received in writing no later than the issue space closing date to avoid incurring a charge.

Payment: Payment should be included with the insertion order. Please send it to: ABI Journal Advertising, P.O. Box 34709, Alexandria, VA 22334-0709 or fax to (866) 921-1027 if paying by credit card.

Production Requirements Mechanics: Ad artwork must be submitted as a high-resolution (300 dpi) EPS or PDF file. Do not send Word, WordPerfect or PowerPoint files for ad artwork; instead, convert these into highresolution PDF files. If sending an InDesign file, please include all high-resolution images and fonts for Macintosh; otherwise, please convert to high-resolution PDF or EPS files. All original images used within the ad artwork must be high-resolution. Ads must be submitted at the exact contracted size; ABI will not re-size ads. Ads will run exactly as they are sent. However, ABI will alert the advertiser if there is a problem with the file.

Color: Advertisements are printed in black unless otherwise contracted. Full-page, 4-color process ads will be accepted for an additional $600 for a full-page ad, $400 per ad for 1/2 page or 1/3 page, and $200 for a half-column ad.

Trim Size: 8 1/2” x 11” PLEASE NOTE: Full-page ads can NEVER be sized at 8 1/2” x 11”. All ads sized as such will be returned to the advertiser for adjustment. Bleeds: Accepted for an additional 5 percent. Full-page ads only (please note trim size above). ABI Partners do not incur a bleed charge (see Partnership Program page for more information on becoming an ABI Partner). PLEASE NOTE: Bleed ads must extend 1/4” or more beyond the trim size, and crop marks must be included to indicate positioning. Alterations: Advertisers will be billed for any production work required, plus 10 percent. * Current membership as of Mar. 1, 2009.

The Advertiser agrees that payment for advertisements placed in the Journal must be paid upon receipt of an invoice and/or a tearsheet (proof of placement). Payment should be sent to: ABI, P.O. Box 34709, Alexandria, VA 22334-0709 The Advertiser authorizes ABI to halt the printing of any advertisement if there is any outstanding amount due from previous advertisements.
