Your friends and neighbors at Preservation of Historic Winchester are busy planning the 39th Annual Holiday House Tour. For many of us this event officially begins the holiday season with its guided tours of the festively decorated historic properties in Winchester. In addition to being a fun holiday tradition, the Holiday House Tour generates the monetary foundation that enables us to continue our mission to improve Winchester by preserving the best of the area’s past.
As part of our promotional materials for the event, PHW will be producing a full color program booklet again this year. I invite you to place an ad in the booklet to show your support for PHW and to promote your business to a demographic interested in Old Town Winchester, history, and architecture. The example ad sheet below shows the size, costs, and benefits of the sponsors’ ads in the program.
Please reserve your spot soon – ads are due by 5 PM on October 30 to ensure inclusion in the program booklet, which will be distributed in mid-November to ticket sale locations and local visitor centers. Include your business name, contact information, and ad size in your reservation. Your print-ready digital ad files may be emailed to phwi@verizon.net or submitted on CD or flash drive at the PHW Office, 530 Amherst Street, Winchester, VA 22601.
I hope you will consider sponsoring and attending the 2015 Holiday House Tour!
First time advertiser in the Holiday House Tour program booklet? Here are some tips for your ad creation.
- The best files for submission are high quality JPG, PNG (no transparency), or PDF.
- The pixel dimensions given are the minimum acceptable file quality (300 dpi). Higher quality dpi is welcome to ensure best printing reproduction.
- Scanned images of printed ads/business cards are generally not high enough quality. Use the digital files made in creating your business card, not a scan of the finished business card.
- The booklets will be saved in CMYK color model to be printed on a commercial press. You may wish to save your file in CMYK color model to test for color acceptability. Minor color variation is expected from the RBG color model displayed by screens.
- Reserve your ad by October 30, 2015. Include your business name, contact information, and ad size. Reservations may be made by email to phwi@verizon.net or mailed to PHW, 530 Amherst Street, Winchester, VA 22601.
- Your print-ready digital ad files may be emailed to phwi@verizon.net or submitted on CD or flash drive at the PHW Office, 530 Amherst Street, Winchester, VA 22601.
