The Benefits of Advertising in The New York Register

The New York Register is designed to be a major link in connecting interested customers with the Country, Victorian, Craft and Antique shops in the state as well as shows, events and places to eat and stay. The publication is full of stories, recipes, projects and useful information for readers interested in the various shopping possibilities and activities going on locally. The information is presented in a much less intimidating fashion than reference books and other newspapers available for the industry. It also serves to inform the public of upcoming events in the antique, country and craft industry. The New York Register also hopes to create and spark an interest in people new to the opportunities and possibilities available in the antique and collectible marketplace. It gives shop owners a place to promote, inform and even try out their writing skills if they so desire. The publication makes a handy, "carry it with you", kind of guide and its layout makes for the need of less maps. It guides the reader according to areas of the state and within a city. The whole purpose is to increase awareness of the great number of shops and services available to them within the state of New York.

As an advertiser, you receive copies of the paper to provide to your customers as a free gift. This results in repeat visits to your shop as readers want to find each new issue. The New York Register is a targeted publication. We don't accept ads from just anyone. Your ad in The New York Register won't be with auto ads, tire stores, tattoo parlors, etc. "Targeted" means we get your ad in the hands of customers who are looking for the very type of items you sell.

Electronic/Digital Ads ("camera-ready" ads via email)

When sending digital files, please use the following specifications—and always fax a copy of the ad so we can be sure the finished product looks exactly as you intended.

  • Platform: PC format only
  • Files Accepted: PDF (uncompressed, prepress high resolution setting in Distiller) or Postscript files; JPEG; TIFF
  • Color: Please send all files in CMYK mode.
  • Embedded Images: The MINIMUM resolution requirements are 300dpi for full-color artwork or grayscale artwork and 1200dpi for Bitmap (black & white line art). Images and logos from web sites are NOT usable for print ads.

Camera-Ready Ads (if you must print and mail)

  • Must meet our above size guidelines
  • Printed preferably on a laser printer (not inkjet)
  • Mailed flat with no folds through ad or artwork
  • Delivered to us on or before the deadline
  • 100% complete (the ad will be run just as received)

Ads That We Create For The Customer

  • Clearly written rough draft of ad text must be delivered to us on or before the deadline along with any suggestions for artwork, borders, etc.
  • Any logos, borders or photos that might be supplied by the customer must be delivered to us on or before the deadline. These must be mailed flat with no folds through artwork and printed preferably on a laser printer (not inkjet).
  • If we will be providing logos, borders or photos for you, we prefer to have a fax number where we can fax an ad copy to you for proofing. If you do not have a fax machine or can not make arrangements for a neighboring business or copy shop to receive a proof for you, available graphics and layout will be left up to our discretion.
Billing

First time advertising that is published in The New York Register can be paid two ways. The first option would be to send in your payment with your camera-ready or rough draft ad on or before the deadline for that issue. If you decide to send in your camera-ready or rough draft ad without payment, your second option is to have us contact you after you approve your ad proof to have the ad cost billed to your credit card. New advertisers must pay for their first ad in advance of the paper being printed. Future ads you place will be billed via mail upon publication with payment being due upon receipt. We accept Mastercard & Visa for your ad payment if you desire. Any payment not paid after 30 days from billing will be considered past-due. If a past due payment remains on your account for more than 60 days, advertising will not be available to you in future publications until payment is made.

Distribution

The New York Register is distributed through all advertising shops (results in repeat visits to your shop), craft and antique shows, Highway Welcome Centers and local tourism centers. If you would like to find the location nearest you to pick up a copy, please see our list of advertisers who all have copies or contact us.
