Advertising Opportunities in the Taste of the Beaches
The Bay Business Group is reprinting (500 copies) the "Taste of the Beaches" cookbook that was so successful just a few short years ago! In the process, we're updating the ad section in the back of the book. Since the original printing, a few businesses have changed or relocated elsewhere. Consequently, we are updating that section of the book and we have room for a limited number of half page and full page ads.
Time is short as the books are in press now, with an anticipated delivery date early in June. This is an opportunity for current BBG members to advertise in the BBG cookbook. If interested, send your ad copy via email to Bob Munro by noon on Thursday May 24. Bob's email: MunroRE@aol.com
First come - first served. You have two choices -- a full page ad for $99 or a half page ad for $50. Ad specifications are shown below. If you're already an advertiser in the cookbook, we've contacted you separately regarding your options.
As in the past, we appreciate your support of the BBG and our fund-raising efforts through projects such as this cookbook. Just ask if you have any questions.
Regards, Bob Munro (munrore@aol.com)
All ads are 300 dpi and gray scale (color not available)
Full page: 4 1/4 inches wide x 7 1/2 inches tall - $99
Half page: 4 1/4 inches wide x 3 5/8 inches tall - $50
