LIMITATIONS
The Retreat Finder newsletter strives to generate a high open rate by producing a fresh and interesting newsletter each month. To this end, we request that advertisers reserve ads on a rotating basis- every other month or alternating between spotlight and highlight articles. In addition, copy and images for each ad should be unique, or at most appear three times in one year. Retreat Finder reserves the right to limit, deny, or cancel article reservations.

SUBMITTING YOUR AD
Article Text: Articles should be submitted with full details as follows:

Article Title: (25 characters max)
Article Subtitle: (35 characters max)
Article Copy:
URL for article link (ie Visit Retreat Name): http://www.
URL for image link: http://www.
Attached image:
Images: Images are 120 pixels by 120 pixels at 72 pixels per inch preferably including a one pixel black border. If your organization has a banner ad on the site, the banner ad image can be used, or any other image from your listing. Preferably images should have the name and location (generally City and State) of the Facility or Event as part of the image. Event listings can also include the date of the event. Images may be emailed in TIF, JPG, EPS or PSD format.

 

Testimonials:

Your newsletter is the best advertising that yields instant results. (On the same day the newsletter was emailed) a client called from RetreatFinder and set up a retreat this weekend.
--Johanna Mosca, Sedona Spirit Yoga & Hiking (10/08)

Thanks to your newsletter someone signed up!
--Beatrix Montanile, Atma Shakti Yoga (8/08)

Our event went very well, and two of the participants were a direct response to your newsletter...along with three interested folks who want to come if it is offered at a more convenient time.
--April Allison, Leaven Center (1/07)

My investment in the newsletter ad just paid for itself, as I received a product order from someone who said she found me in the RetreatFinder newsletter!
--Lauren Sullivan, Inspired Life Design (10/10)
