John, are you willing to format the 6 or so individual ads into a full page?  Can I send my ad copy to you for formatting if so?

Russ said..."If any of our members with graphic design experience would like to volunteer to help design the ad that would be welcomed and appreciated as well." So yes, I'll work with Russ and help out with design as wanted and needed.

Thank you!

Mike, Here is a quote regarding the pricing from a couple years ago...

For the past several years the Alliance has taken out a full page color ad in both the ABA and APA Yearbooks. The offer is made to our members to buy individual ads within these full page ads, but the board of directors has voted to buy the full page ads whether members participate or not. This way the full page color ads are not hinged on having 6 member ads, so the price is still $37.50 for each individual ad space. The Alliance treasury has been in good shape and can afford the two full page ads each year. By doing it this way there is no pressure on members to buy ads.

The listed price is $225 for an APA full page color ad. Even though it isn't listed as a "club" ad we just divided the cost by six. I had corresponded with the APA secretary several years ago and he was fine us doing it this way, since the Alliance is buying the full page.
Actually, since the ABA full page color ad is also $225 and the Alliance, not individuals, is buying the full page the same pricing should be used. The ABA has their "Collective Page" of six ads for $240, but they are not having to deal with individual ads the way we do it...the Alliance sends a ready to print ad and one payment. That is the way we did it before.

I clicked on the APA link.  I don't see a full page club ad in color priced out?   A club page in B & W is only $120, or $20 each for the six individual ads plus a header.
The ABA doesn't seem to give a choice.  Color only for the 6 individual ads at $40 each.
