Submitting Your Ad

The Sitka Through 4 Seasons Visitor Guide

Submission Guidelines

You’ve secured your ad. Great. Here’s what happens next.

Our goal is to make this process easy, collaborative, and stress-free, while ensuring every ad in the guide looks clean, professional, and consistent in print.

01
What We Need From You
Once your ad is booked, we’ll reach out with simple next steps. In most cases, all we need is your logo, any photos you’d like us to consider, and a link to your website or a brief description of your business. If you already have artwork you like, you’re welcome to share that as well. If you’re unsure what to send, don’t worry. We’ll guide you.
02
Ad Design (Included)
In most cases, we design your ad for you at no additional cost. This is our preference, as it allows us to ensure every ad works well within the layout of the guide and prints cleanly. We design with print in mind and may make small adjustments to sizing, spacing, or layout to maintain consistency across the publication. These refinements help ensure your ad looks its best in print.
03
Review & Approval
Once your ad is designed, we’ll send you a proof to review. This is your opportunity to confirm business details, logo usage, and overall presentation. Minor edits are included, and nothing goes to print without your approval. We want you to feel confident and comfortable with the final result.
04
Final Submission & Print
After approval, your ad is finalized and prepared for print. Print deadlines are firm to ensure timely production and distribution of the guide. Submitting materials early helps keep everything on track and allows time for review, so by the time we go to print, you can feel good knowing your ad is complete and submitted on time.

Artwork Due Date

February 15, 2027

If your ad is booked after this date, please send materials as soon as possible. Timely submission helps ensure adequate time for design, review, and approval prior to print. Late submissions may affect placement or inclusion.

All materials you provide must be legal to print. This means you either own the rights to the images, logos, and text you submit or have permission to use them in print advertising. By submitting materials, you confirm that all content is cleared for use in the Sitka Through 4 Seasons Visitor Guide.

Supplying Your Own Artwork

If you choose to send final artwork, files must be fully editable. Layered files are required so we can make sizing and layout adjustments if needed. Accepted formats include layered PDF, EPS, PSD, or Canva designs, as long as all elements remain editable.
