Submissions of articles

We are happy to receive submissions for articles. For full details on how to submit and what we choose to print, please see our writers’ guidelines. Because of the large number of articles received, a reply and/or publication may be delayed for some time. We expect stories to offer a “gift” to our readers and to carry no “advertorial hook”.

Advertorials

If you wish to promote your business, product, book, courses or CD, then we suggest you do so through advertising. We have no objection to presenting an ad in story form, in fact we applaud it as an effective and enjoyable way to get a message to the public. However, such a story will be placed in the advertorial section of the hard copy and will also be shown under the advertisers section on-line on our home page.

Some people are looking for a venue to publish their creative works, such as books and CD’s. Advertorials are a perfect way to acquaint the public with your work. We prefer these to be 1/4, 1/3 or 1/2 page in size.

These are the rates for your advertorials:

1/2 Page - $ 675 (once) $ 610 (subsequently) 6 X $ 545 (one year - 6 issues)
1/3 Page - $ 500 (once) $ 450 (subsequently) 6 X $ 400 (one year - 6 issues)
1/4 Page - $ 400 (once) $ 360 (subsequently) 6 X $ 320 (one year - 6 issues)


Display Ad Guidelines

We require camera ready artwork which needs no preparation on our part - ads are ads that are submitted in correct size and ready to be placed in The Healing Journal. Your camera ready artwork can be sent in either electronic format such as a PDF (fonts/graphics embedded), EPS, TIF, JPG or CD (exact ad size / minimum 300 dpi resolution) or in a high quality scan-able hard-copy by regular mail. CMYK or RGB and 300dpi are required. WORD PROCESSING PROGRAMS do not give us camera ready art work! They are excellent as an accompaniment to CD’s, PDF’s, etc. Some charges may apply if graphics are sent that require reworking, converting or other problems. Simple changes or revisions - $25.00

(Line Screen: 133 lpi; Ink Density: 280-300; Dot Gain: 10%; Trapping: 7/1000 (no less than 1/2 point) Dimensions: Trim Size: 10 x 13; Bleed Size: 10.5 x 13.5; Live Area: 7.7 x 11 inches)

 

Graphic artist

We will gladly help you design your display ad. This can be time consuming, so there is an additional fee to aid in your ad design of $30 for a 1/12th to 1/6th page ad; $50 for 1/4 to 1/3 page ad; $75 for 1/2 page ad; $100 for larger ads. If design is complicated then an hourly fee will apply and we will suggest a graphic designer if you do not already have one. Please allow one to two weeks before the regular deadline date to have your ad designed and produced for you and approved by you.

 

Cancellations/refunds

Please check your ad the first time it appears. The Healing Journal is not responsible for more than one incorrect insertion or for errors that do not materially affect the value of the ad.

No cash refunds. If you change your mind about advertising, a credit will be issued to be used within 6 months.

Liability for errors in ads created by The Healing Journal is limited to the value of the advertisement and will be disbursed in ad credit.

We have the right to refuse any advertising for any reason.

We reserve the right to edit when necessary.

Marketing Tips

 

 

Marketing tip #1:
 

Once is not enough!

Repeat advertising builds recognition and trust. Our advertising prices are exceptionally low and are discounted by frequency to help you keep visible to your targeted clients and customers.

 

Marketing tip #2:
 

Quality is crucial.

More people see your ad than your place of business. This shapes their opinion of you, your product and your service. Hiring a professional to enhance copy-writing and design can be a very good investment. 

 

Marketing tip #3:
 

Timing and length of exposure.

If you are advertising an event, two to three months or two issues is necessary lead time to give your customers and participants and clients enough time to familiarize, see and plan. In fact, your entire plan, that drives your process from concept to execution, needs generous time. This is crucial to success.
