Instructions for Football Program Ads & Band Sponsorships
How it Works:
Football Program Ads and Band Sponsorships are the Band's largest fundraiser for the year. Monies collected help to offset the many costs of running our Band program. Ad sales also help students earn money for their Band “Fair Share” accounts. Every year several students will meet their “Fair Share” by selling Football Program ads. For each ad or sponsorship sold, 50% of the associated Football Program ad cost is credited to the student's band account. (Band Patron and Band Family Patron donations do not apply to "Fair Share" accounts, they are straight donations to the Band.)
Important Football Program Dates:
Ads and artwork can be submitted anytime throughout the summer. Please submit ads as contracts are completed - do not hold them until August Band Camp.
Ads and artwork must be submitted no later than Friday, August 6th, 2010. No ad will be accepted after this date, no exceptions!
INSTRUCTIONS

Ad Specification sheet and Artwork Submission:
The Ad Specification sheet should be shown to your customer so they know ad sizes and format options. Ads must be submitted Copy Ready (with no hand corrections or markings). They can be emailed directly to the printer in .pdf format or submitted on CD-ROM. Our printer will charge businesses for ads that need to be changed or reformatted.
Appreciation Window Decal:
Give this to your customer when you finalize the ad sale. Ask that they display it as recognition of their support of the AK Band, and so that other band members know they have already committed to an ad.

¨ The contract is filled out completely and signed by the customer.
¨ Payment for the ad is received by you. Checks payable to: AKHS Band Boosters.
¨ Ad copy or Artwork has either been given to you or forwarded to our printer.
