Policy updated for May 1992, subject to change.
Advertising in SIMPLE and EASY in GIF News, and very very affordable.
Basically a small ad, roughly under 1/5 the size of a full page, will be
free of charge. Often times these are ads for Bulletin Board Systems.
GIF News is read by thousands of readers throughout the world. Besides
the standard way of distribution through Bulletin Board Systems, GIF News
travels by means of the worldwide Network of Internet which reaches many
countries such as Japan, Australia, Norway, Finland, Canada, USA, France,
Great Britain, Singapore, New Zealand, Mexico, and more. GIF News can also
be found on the Compuserve Game Forum in the Magazines download section.
Here are some guidelines to follow for advertising in GIF News:
1. If short and small, the ad is free of charge. I may add
some simple graphics to make the ad a little more interesting.
2. If advertising a BBS:
a. Send me a normal-access user account pre-registered. In
other words, add an Eric Hsiao to your user roster and
pick a password and send it to me (along with your ad).
b. If you want your ad to be in more than one issue, you
must let me know for which issues, individually.
This will help me keep track of which boards are still up
and which ones have gone down. This will save our readers
from the trouble of dialing long distance to a board and
getting a "Sorry, the number you have dialed has been
disconnected..." I am unable to accept requests, for example,
that say "Please put my BBS ad for the next 10 issues." If
you want your BBS ad to be in the next 10 issues, you must notify
me before the deadline of each of those 10 issues that you want
your ad in. In other words, for 10 ads, you must make 10 requests
for ad space.
3. If contributing money for an ad:
a. A full page with customized drawn graphics by me will general-
ly run around $75 - add $25 for each additional issue that you
want the ad in.
b. Pre-supplied/drawn graphics full page size will generally
be around $50 - add $25 for each additional issue that you
want the ad in.
c. Half a page of custom graphics will run around $30 - add $10
for each additional issue that you want the ad in.
d. Pre-supplied/drawn graphics half size will be around $15 -
add $10 for each additional issue that you want the ad in.
e. Please keep in mind that these are only general numbers, I am
very flexible and will negotiate. Also, unlike the FREE BBS
ad policy, you can request that your ad be in for a certain
number of issues (ex. "Please put my full page ad in the
January issue for a contribution of $50, plus I would like
to see it in the March/April and May/June issues for an
additional contribution of $50 (2 x $25). See above for
contribution guidelines.
f. Contributions not need be in the form of monetary units
(money). Instead, products of interest to me such as a
PostScript Laser Printer, CD-ROM drive, etc. would really
be appreciated.
4. Any legitimate commercial/business/organization/group/individual
can advertise in GIF News. GIF News retains the right to refuse
any advertisement due to content, space considerations, or
other reasons. We try to screen all advertisers for legitimacy.
Complaints against advertisers should be directed toward the
advertiser or the Better Business Bureau, not GIF News.
5. The final deadline for the next issue is 10 days before the issue
is to come out. In other words, for the Mar/Apr 1993 issue,
I must have the ad in my hands by February 21, 1993.
