ABA and APA ads 2026

[Russ Blair]

Spring not only brings in hatching season but it also means it's time for the ABA and APA yearbooks. In past years we have designed full page color ad where we allowed our members an opportunity to include their personal ad as well. Ads can be print ready; or one can be designed for you.   

Full page color ads have our club information and logo on the top quarter of the page and 6 individual ad spots, with each ad space being 1 7/8" high by 2 3/16" wide, with members being allowed to buy more than one to increase their ad size if requested. The ABA has raised their full-page color ad price to $245, or $40.80 per individual ad. The APA full-page color ad price is $225.00, or $37.50 per individual ad.

This is not a plea to fleece our membership; I just wanted to offer this to any of our members that would like to advertise in either associations yearbook. If we have enough member's interested John Blehm has agreed to format them and design personal ads if needed. These ads need to be paid and turned in by May 1, 2026. So, John would need all the ad information by the first week of April in order to design and format it. I am including copies of last year's ads if you want to see how last years looked.

I just talked to Jeff Duguay, he is in charge of the APA yearbook this year. It seems they have a new deadline this year, they would like the APA ads to be turned in by March 31. He did say they have some wiggle room but sooner would be preferred.

Stan they were very similar but i believe there are slight differences in last year's ads.

Thank you for participating in this year's ads

Unless the page sizes have changes since last year, the dimensions are...
ABA page size: 4.375 x 7.5625 Individual 1/4 page ad sizes: 2.188 x 1.890
APA page size: 4.5 x 7.5 Individual 1/4 page ad sizes: 2.25 x 1.875

John I will take 1-2 ad spaces as needed to equal out any full page ads. I am ok using the last ad you used for me. Perhaps we could freshen up the wording a bit. I will email you my suggestions

Here is my 1st draft of the APA ad.

[John W Blehm]

Below are our Alliance club page ads for the 2026 ABA and APA yearbooks. We've been doing these for many years, with at least the top 1/4 of the page promoting the Alliance and offering up to six individual ads to members that what to place their individual ads within it and at the same time help to defray the cost of the full page to the Alliance. As always, the total cost of each of these ABA and APA pages is divided by six to come up with the cost of the individual member ads.
