2010 RESIDENTIAL MEDIA KIT 9display Advertising: Submission Requirements

Scotsman Guide strives to maintain a clear distinction between paid advertising and editorial content. Advertising content must differ in look and layout from editorial content. We reserve the right to distin-guish between the two. If you are planning on sending a text-heavy, advertorial ad, please consult our separate advertorial guidelines: www.scotsmanguide.com/pdfs/advertorial.pdf

Questions? Please contact your account executive.

FoRMAtting YouR FilEs

Please be aware that four-color process ads are subject to color/tonal shifts inherent to the heat-set web printing process. Laser proofs do not accurately represent the percentage of cyan, magenta, yellow and black used in the electronic files supplied. Liquid inks used in laser printers are much more vibrant than inks used in offset printing. The printer will strive to match the colors in your proof but cannot guarantee precise replication of colors. Also, please be aware that the page runs through the press on the horizontal axis, which can also affect color distribution. Scotsman Guide reserves the right to add a 1 pt. black boundary keyline to fractional ads.

indesign files: All links, screen and printer fonts must be included.

illustrator or Freehand files: All links must be included.Convert all type to paths. Flatten transparency.

Photoshop files: File should be 300 ppi PSD, TIFF or EPS. Make all black type 100% black and not a CMYK build.

Quark XPress files: Include all links, screen and printer fonts.

notE: We do not accept files created in Microsoft Publisher, Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint.

scans should be 100% printed size and 300 ppi for interior pages; 100% printed size and 350 ppi for cover artwork.

You don’t need us to tell you that more deals happen online than ever before. But there are ways for you to tap the online marketplace by advertising on scotsmanguide.com.

In addition to our articles, directories and monthly e-newsletter, scotsmanguide.com pro-vides tools that have grown to become vital parts of mortgage originators’ daily duties — and that keep them on the site. See why our site receives 25,222 visitors and 142,555 page views each month.

scotsMAn guidE loAn Post

Loan Post allows our wholesale-lender advertisers to respond to brokers’ posted loan requests online — in all loan categories and of all amounts. Although Loan Post is free to advertisers, our value-added-bonus system can increase your benefits based on your monthly ad spend — including added bonuses for display advertisers. More info: Page 7.

To date, we’ve seen 41,081 posted residential Loan Post scenarios — and 27,354 replies. That’s not the only reason lenders choose Loan Post. There’s also its:

Exclusivity: Only advertising lenders have reply access, and some can call brokers im-mediately when they post a reply.

deal flow: Scenarios are posted continuously, and they can supplement your incoming calls.

variety: Lenders can reply to posts outside the criteria they advertise — and take on odd property types, joint ventures, concert funding, etc.

cost: Loan Post leads are free with other advertising. And revenue earned from one funded Loan Post deal can go far.

WholEsAlE lEndER sEARch

Our award-winning wholesale lender search engines let brokers input criteria and find matching loan programs and guidelines from our advertisers. By ad-vertising in the print matrixes, you also receive automatic placement in these lender searches.

As part of our value-added program, Scotsman Guide also can optimize your online-matrix-search results, based on display advertising and monthly advertis-ing spend.

In all, Scotsman Guide’s lender searches receive 8,994 queries per month. Users are seeking all types of lenders, as well.
