Advertisement Manager The GCCG is looking for someone to take on the role of advertisement manager. For many years Chairman Brian Palmer has built up this role informally so that your favourite quarterly magazine Big End Journal is now largely financed through advertising - which in turn has kept your annual subscription low and at the same modest level for nearly fifteen years. Previous experience is not necessary - though if you have some background in ad sales, this would make you an ideal candidate. You will need the organisational ability to contact potential advertisers and maintain existing levels of income. You will need to monitor renewal points with existing advertisers and keep records. You will need to advise key committee members and remind/chase advertisers each quarter of any changes they may require to ad copy. Keeping to the editor’s publishing deadlines is vital. Currently trade advertising is limited to full and half pages for simplicity and to maintain the look of editorial - some limited member advertising is allowed at the discretion of the editor. The Treasurer deals with all invoicing of advertising partners. If you think you have got what it takes please contact Brian Palmer for further information at chair@gccg.org.uk  … [Read more...]
