ONLINE ADVERTISING With more than 5,000 daily page views, The Daily Targum website is an affordable way to compliment your print advertising. Our exclusive multimedia features guarantee constant and direct exposure to the entire Rutgers community. Online advertising is available in three sizes: Banner, Skyscraper, and Button. Banner Ads run the width of the page. They can be purchased according to placement; either at the bottom, the middle, or the top of the page. Skyscraper Ads run vertically along the sides of a page. Their tall shape means that they are continuously viewed as the viewer scrolls down the page. Button Ads are smaller, and placed strategically on the page. ONLINE RATES Banner $7.20/CPM Skyscaper $6.20/CPM Button $5.20/CPM
PRODUCTION GUIDELINES File Formats PDF is the preferred file format, as images and fonts can be automatically embedded. Other acceptable files include EPS, TIFF, DOC, AI, PSD, QXD, JPEG, XCEL, and most graphic formats. We are unable to accept Microsoft Publisher files at this time. Your Advertising Executive can answer any questions regarding additional file types. Fonts Fonts are not necessarily universal. When they are not included or saved properly, they can “drop out”. When saving as a PDF, it is important to make sure that all fonts are embedded. For images made in Illustrator, it is preferable that outlines are created on all fonts. For Photoshop files, we prefer a flattened image. If these rules are not or cannot be adhered to, it may be necessary for our Productions Department to substitute fonts without notification. Image Resolution The resolution of all images, placed or otherwise, needs to be at least 200 DPI. Web images as a general rule are 72 DPI and should not be submitted because they will print pixelated or “fuzzy”. Proofs & Deadlines If our Creative Department is creating an ad for you, we will need all the information 5 business days in advance. While this may seem like a long time, please consider that we are working with many clients simultaneously. It is in the best interest of everyone involved that each ad is crafted carefully and proofread for errors. This will also give you, the advertiser, ample time to carefully look over your ad and give us adequate time to make corrections. It takes extensive planning to to yield great execution. We cannot guarantee proofs to advertisers who fail to meet submission guidelines. Please make sure all text is finalized and proofread before submitting. We cannot guarantee text revisions submitted after deadline. The Daily Targum is not responsible for typos. Deadlines for Artwork Submission All ads must be submitted no less than 4 business days prior to publication. If a proof is desired, artwork must be submitted no less than 5 business days prior to publication. The Daily Targum cannot guarantee proofs to advertisers who do not meet this deadline. The Daily Targum prefers digital files, which ensure the smoothest transition to the printed page. We can accept digital files on disc or by email. We can also accept camera-ready hard copies of ads. By adhering to the following guidelines, we can ensure you the highest quality printed advertisement possible. Publication Date Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursaday Friday

Creative Services We know that advertising is expensive. If you want to get the biggest bang for your buck, consider the Targum productions as a creative outlet for your advertising needs. We are more than pleased to offer free design services for clients who have pre-paid for an ad or have an on-going contract with the Targum Publishing. Our productions department can create an ad for you or streamline the one you have to ensure what’s best for both your company and the aesthetic of the paper. Any revisions or adjustments to the created ad requested by the advertiser will be an additional fee. Ask your Account Executive for further details.
