 How to Place a Display Advertisement

• Design your ad as 140 pixels x 1140 pixels in the .jpeg format. Alas, we do not offer design services.
• Use the form at left to submit your ad no later than Friday noon before the Sunday night of publication. Tells us which page you want your ad placed on and the number of weeks you want it to appear.
• Ad placement is subject to prior sale. You may reserve a particular page in advance by pre-paying in full for that page. If your preferred page is not available, we’ll notify you.
• If you have not prepaid your ad, check your email for a PayPal invoice after you’ve submitted your ad. We cannot insert your ad until you have paid the invoice.
• Alert us promptly at Advertising@PostcardHistory.net if there is a problem. We make every effort to place ads correctly, but mistakes can occur.

If something is not clear, email  Advertising@PostcardHistory.net and we’ll be glad to clarify.
