PROGRAM AD SALES Now is the time to be selling ads for the Spring Concert program. The money we raise from ads helps offset the printing costs for the program and raises funds for Soli, which in turn keeps our membership dues lower. Remind your prospective advertisers that the businesses who advertise in our program gain marketing access to some of the best customers in town! For those in the process of obtaining ads, be sure to download or print the REVISED AD AGREEMENT from the web site at http://solideogloriacs.org/members.htm since both the form and the rates have changed. The copy for each ad must be camera ready. If you are given a business card as the original copy, it will be hard to make it work for an ad bigger than 1/8 of a page. For more information on quality copy see the camera-ready tips on the Soli website.
