We've made a lot of changes to make GunSmoke a better read, and to make it a better advertising vehicle for local businesses to reach local people.

 

Since the June 2008 edition, distribution of GunSmoke has been through Australia Post - to make sure that a copy does indeed make it to every Gungahlin household, business and PO box. It costs more, but it addresses the growing problems we had of areas not receiving GunSmoke through the usual 'junk mail' distributors.

 
We've had to reduce the overall proportion of the newsletter containing advertisements, so that it can be delivered to mailboxes marked as 'No Junk Mail'. However, we believe the overall result has benefited advertisers and readers alike.

In order that our volunteers can get each issue of GunSmoke designed within the very tight production timeframes, we've streamlined our processes for lodging ads. We now require all ads to conform to standard sizes and to be pre-designed by you or your designer.

Please follow these requirements to help us ensure each edition issues in a timely way:
  • Advertising rates are outlined in the accompanying brochure.
  • An ad booking form is now available on our website gcc.asn.au. The booking form is your authority to us to invoice you for the specified amount, and therefore it must be submitted by the 15th of the month prior to publication.
  • To assist our volunteers in preparing for publication of the GunSmoke, all advertisements must be submitted in high resolution ready-to-print format, in either .jpg, .tiff (preferred) or .pdf formats. All graphics and non-standard fonts must be embedded in the file. Volunteers are not able to assist in formatting your advertisement. We reserve the right to refuse ads we deem inadequately formatted.
  • Your ad file should be attached to your Ad Booking Enquiry Form, and submitted by 15th of the month prior to publication in order to be included.
  • All advertisements must fit into the standardised sizes as designated in the brochure above. If your advertisement does not fit within one of these sizes, it will be scaled up to the nearest size and charged accordingly.
  • A prepayment discount of 10% is available for a single ad placement if your ad is paid for BEFORE the GunSmoke goes to the printers.
  • Payment by direct deposit into our bank account is preferred. Details will be advised on your invoice.
  • All advertising is accepted and printed on a best effort and available space basis, with priority given to regular advertisers and advertisements with a Gungahlin regional focus.

Please note that the 6 for 5 deal is no longer available.
