“THE ‘SANITY FILES’ FEATURE IS A GREAT WAY TO MEET OTHER PET PROFESSIONALS AND THEIR PETS. IT’S ALWAYS GREAT TO SEE SO MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS BEING UNIFIED BY THEIR LOVE OF ANIMALS.

BILLING AND TERMS

BILLING, COMMISSION AND TERMS New advertisers will be asked to prepay the amount due for the first ad. A 1.5 percent finance charge will be added each month to all outstanding invoices not paid within 30 days.

Agency commission is 15 percent on space and position to recognized agencies. Verbal agreements or quotes in conflict with the publisher’s stated policies must be in writing and signed by the publisher.

No conditions appearing on an insertion order, purchase order or any other forms presented to the publisher will be binding if in conflict with the publisher’s stated policies.

The publisher reserves the right to reject any advertisement. The publication is not liable for any delivery failure beyond its control. Advertisers and agencies assume full liability for all the contents of advertisements printed, and the responsibility for any and all claims arising therefrom.

The advertiser (and any agencies and/or affiliates) warrants that publication by the publisher of any advertising materials submitted by or on behalf of the advertiser will not (1) include any statements that are false, misleading or defamatory; (2) infringe upon the rights of any third party, including without limitation rights of privacy or any copyrights; (3) violate any applicable laws.

The advertiser (and any agencies and/or affiliates) further agrees that the publisher cannot be held liable for any costs, damages, liabilities or fees arising from (1) the content and publication of advertisements (including the failure to publish an advertisement); and (2) the failure of any contest related to the advertisements to comply and conform to all applicable laws, ordinances, statutes and rules.

FREQUENCY DISCOUNTS Frequency discounts are based on the number of insertions scheduled within a 12-month period regardless of the ad size. Canceled contracts are subject to a short rate, with the rate applicable for the amount of ad-vertising space used applied retroactively from the first ad inserted onwards. Advertisers will be rebated if, within a 12-month period from the first insertion, they have used sufficient additional insertions to warrant a lower rate.

CANCELLATION POLICY Cancellation of ad space must be received in writing before the published closing date.

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION BEFOREBEGINNING YOUR PETS+ AD CAMPAIGN

Frank Frattini of The Hungry Puppy in Farmingdale, NJ, tells us:

PETS+ 2021 MEDIA PLANNING GUIDE | 13

QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR AD? CONTACT THE AD PRODUCTION MANAGERemail: [email protected] / phone: (212) 981-9625

ADVERTISING SPECS

FILE SUBMISSIONFiles that are 10MB or smaller should be emailed directly to [email protected]. This email address reaches several people in the production department. Larger files can be emailed to the same address using a file-sharing site like Dropbox, High-tail.com or WeTransfer.com.

If sending DVDs or flash drives, include a label with the adverti ser’s name, issue of insertion, contact name and phone numbers.

PREFERRED FILE FORMATOur preferred file format is Press Ready PDF Files (PDF/X-1a). Here are additional guidelines on submitting PDF files for best results.

IMAGES

Use high resolution images. 350 DPI is recommended.

TIFF or EPS format preferred. If using JPEG, use only at the maximum-quality setting.

RGB and LAB color are not allowed.

Do not save TIFF or EPS files with embedded color manage-ment profiles.

Avoid scaling images, if possible. If you must scale images, do not scale below 50% or above 110%.

Total Area Coverage should not exceed 300%.

FONTS

Always embed all fonts.

Do not allow font substitutions.

Do not use TrueType fonts.

Do not “menu-style” your fonts. These styles may not have matching printer fonts available and may not print correctly. For effects such as bold or italic, select a bold or italic font.

COLORS

Only use CMYK colors; convert spot colors to process.

LAYOUT

Create documents in Portrait mode without scaling or rotation. If you require scaling or rotation, do so in the original graphics program.

When bleed is required, provide 1/8-inch beyond the trim area.

All marks (trim, bleed) should be included in all colors and must be located 1/4-inch (4.25 mm) from trim and not invade the live or bleed areas.

TRANSPARENCY

All transparent objects must be flattened at a high resolution.

Avoid placing transparent objects on top of text or other critical vector objects.

OVERPRINT

Overprinting objects may not reproduce correctly when printed and will sometimes disappear completely. We recommend creat-ing objects exactly as you want them to appear without relying on an overprint setting.

OTHER ACCEPTED AD FILE FORMATSWe also accept Macintosh Adobe InDesign files, up to the latest version of Creative Cloud. Contact our ad production manager for other accepted ad file formats.

PROOFSFor four-color ads, provide a color proof with standard AAA/PMS process colors. Note any special instructions directly on the proofs. SmartWork Media cannot guarantee reproduction quality of ads supplied without a proof or those in non-preferred file formats. Ads submitted in non-preferred formats may be subject to additional production fees.
