2008/2009 Twin City Tournament Series Program

Ad Sales Guidelines

The tournament program will be distributed for all Twin City Tournament Series Events (Twin City Classic, Junior Southern Soccer Showcase, and the Southern Soccer Showcase)
 

• Familiarize yourself with information about the Twin City Tournament Series and the tournament book from the Ad Sales Information Sheet.  This sheet includes information about the ads available and pricing.
   
• Two example pages from last year's program are available for download so that you can share with potential advertisers.  One color page and one black and white page are available.
   
• Contact Businesses or individuals about purchasing an ad (see last year's list for ideas - please respect last year's seller and their relationship with the advertiser.  To allow ample time for last year's seller to make contact, you should not contact any advertiser from the 2007 list until June 15th.)
   
• When an advertiser agrees to purchase an ad; there are three steps to complete the sale:  1)  Obtain the ad copy from the advertiser.  2) Collect payment for the ad - Checks should be made payable to the Twin City Tournament Series; if a business requires an invoice for payment, please contact Greg Snipes at grgsnipes@triad.rr.com for assistance.  3) Give the advertiser an Ad Sales receipt.
   
• All ads must be submitted via email to tournaments@twincitysoccer.com in a .pdf or .jpg format.  While ad sales can begin immediately, no ads will be accepted until 6/10/2008, after teams have been selected.   When you submit an ad, you will receive a return email confirming receipt of the ad and providing a confirmation #.  This confirmation # should be recorded on the Ad Sales Summary sheet along with the other required information about the advertiser and ad.  All ads must be received by 7/15/2008 to be included in the program. No Exceptions! 
   
• To finalize the ad sales process, the completed Ad Sales Summary Sheet and advertiser payments should be sent to the address below.  All ads fees must be received by 7/30/2008 to be included in the program.
