The ad page is 6 of us for a full page @ $200 per ad
OR
4 of us on a half page @ $175 each
The motorcycle is G old W ing and it is their club magazine W ing W or ld and it needs to be decided with ad materials in by June 22
This is the ad they created for me using a photo I provided and pulled the house from my web site. I gave them things I wanted to feature and they chose from that list for text (what would resonate)
Thank you Jon for converting the ad from PDF for me)

I advertise in and have had articles published in a magazine that is printed for and mailed to the members of this popular motorcycle group. This is an international organization - I mean it includes Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South America, and North America. Members from all over the world send their photos with their bikes to be published and write about the trips they took on their bikes.
The ad manager I work with has made an offer - IF 6 B & Bs want to go together to form a full page, she will give us a deal of $200 each or if 4 want to go together on a 1/2 page it would be $175 each. The pages are 8 1/2 x 11 size, slick glossy quality magazine. I am in if others want to join me. The magazine is also online for members.
I also pitched an article for the future - See the USA - B & B to B & B. We know the best roads and could do a routing from each of us to the next B & B as well as places to ride in our areas. I just had one last week 2-days here and 2-days at the next inn before they went home (this was visit #2 on their motorcycle).. We could offer day trips with us or put together a string of stop overs giving a "taste" of our roads and places to see. Think about both of these proposals.
 
Does the magazine help with the design of the ad or are we on our own?
 
If anyone is interested please let me know soon..
Motorcycles are certainly your niche. It would be hard to see anyone doing inn to inn from your place to my place, but I would be willing to pitch in one share for me and one for Hillbilly's directory, might get that site some more hits. That means Gillum needs only one more B&B
 
Can you email me the name of the mag? I have a 1/4 page ad designed already. Would this be laid out as one large ad with 4-6 places or as individual ads on one page?

These ads are NOT for inn-to-inn. I am sorry if I confused. The inn-to-inn would be an article - totally FREE. I just have to write it. It will requite you sending me info privately as to where you are and the best motorcycle roads routes by you. OR give me a location and then check out a route I put together for you
The ad page is 6 of us for a full page @ $200 per ad
OR
4 of us on a half page @ $175 each

Yep Gillum. the restaurant in our village is a popular stop for bikes, and our highway is popular too, off the beaten. I'm in if you still have room. Let us know what kind of art you/they need.

Send me your info offline for the article.
If you are in for the ad - are you up for full page 1/6 or 1/4 of a half page For the ad send me the photo or line drawing you want used and what you want to say in the ad - contact info and something about motorcycles (as in - off street parking, kind of roads you have, what brings them to your area in a very few words) or what you think they would come to your area for. I have an ad they put together for me but it is PDF ad I do not know how to copy it.

It will be each of us with an ad of equal space. It is as if we were a CVB buying a page and selling the ad space to our members.
A full page costs $1200 (for us, regular price is more) so it would be $200 each for 1/6th of the page. A 1/2 page (for us) is $700 which is $175 each for what equates to 1/8 page I guess. I talked to Jodi this morning and she told me the ad I showed is a 2-inch ad - they will have to enlarge it for the 1/2 page ad.
 
IF anyone is interested in doing the co-op ad - meaning each has own ad in space bought as a group - the commitment and materials (so they can build your ad for you N/C) needs to be sent to Jodi <[email protected]> by June 22. IF she tells me enough have contacted her for the ad (4 for half page or 6 for full page ($25 more if 6 for full page than for 4 for half page), I will be in also. Cannot afford to be on the hook for the whole thing - not this year anyway.
