How to advertise

  • The Sound Projector has an advertisers group in its address book.
  • To get on the advertisers list, send your e-mail to the Editorial Address. You will be added to the address group.
  • A notice for advertisers is usually sent out by e-mail about 4-6 weeks before the deadline. This will advise you that the next issue is ‘in preparation’ and that you should create your advertising copy soon.
  • Please note the advertising notice is always sent out using BCC, and you can be removed from the group at any time.
  • If you place an advert you will receive a free copy of the magazine with your advert in it. For this reason, it pays to let us know your mail address as well.

Technical

  • Create your artwork in any of the following common formats: JPG, TIFF, PSD, PDF, or DOC.
  • Resolution should be at least 300dpi or higher.
  • The artwork will be printed in greyscale, unless you want the back cover, in which case it’s in full colour.
  • Submit your artwork in digital format attached to an e-mail or burned onto a CD.

Payment

  • When the magazine is printed, you will be sent a formal invoice for the advert, after receipt of which you have 30 days to pay.
  • Acceptable methods of payment include cheque, bank transfer, or PayPal.

What’s in it for you?

  • You will reach a select audience of readers who genuinely care about music.
  • The readership is international.
  • The magazine has quite a long shelf life, meaning your advert will be in circulation for longer than just one month.
  • Without support from advertising The Sound Projector will cease to exist.
  • There is no limit to advertising space in the magazine. If you pay for the space, you are guaranteed to get it.
  • Your advert will always appear on a facing page (improves visibility).

Other information

  • The print run is 500 copies.
  • There is no fixed schedule, although the magazine is roughly published annually.
