Program ads
are our main fundraiser for the Drama program, so we encourage you to seek out
community businesses and/or put in a congratulatory ad for your favorite cast
or crew member.
What is a
Business Ad?
Local
Businesses ad is an advertisement that offers goods or services, or provides an
outlet for congratulations from a business, group or organization. See the
attached form for more information. I have also included a list of all the
organizations that have put ads in our programs before. Start there. Also if
you know someone who owns a business, is a realtor, sells a product like Mary
Kay, etc, these would be great people to ask about putting in an ad.
Price & Sizing of ads:
$15 - Quarter Page (1 7/8’’ by 3 ¼ ‘’)
$30 - Half Page ( 3 ¾’’ by 4 ½’’)
$60 - Full Page (7 ½’’ by 4 ½’’)
How do I
sell these ads?
F This is just like selling any other product. If you
believe in what you are selling that’s half the battle.
F Talk to them about the show & how important Drama is
at DMS
F Clinch the sale on the spot if possible. Don’t give them a
chance to change their minds.
Who should I sell these ads to?
See the attached list of businesses who have put ads in
our program before, and start there. Businesses are always looking for ways to
advertise and this is a great way for them to give back and expose a new
audience to their business.
What is a Personal Ad?
Personal ads are for family, friends and other individuals to wish good luck and congratulations to cast or crew members.
What is a
Line Ad?
Line ads are
for family, friends and other individuals to send messages of luck and
congratulations. All ads are $1 per word. So if you want to sell a twenty-word
ad, that would be $20.
$10 Ten word ad example: “Roma, we’re so proud of you! Love, Your Mom & Dad”.
$5 Five word ad example: “We love our Daddy Warbucks”
$2 Two word ad example: “Ian rocks!”
*All ads can be emailed to ewhittaker@columbus.k12.oh.us or uploaded here.
