What to do… ! State Pageant contestants wishing to take part in this contest and appear as a model in the souvenir Cinderella Yearbook will seek to acquire customers to purchase space, known as “ad space”, in the yearbook. Your customers can be companies or individuals wishing to promote their business or product to hundreds of families in Pennsylvania or you may find friends & family wanting to tell you “Good Luck!”, “We love you!” and “Best Wishes!” in the form of a nice big page in the yearbook featuring your beautiful face. How to do it… ! So you have sponsors for your pages in the book. Now what? ! The advertiser can design their own page or you can create the page for them. If promoting a business, you can use their business card, website or any promotional materials they may have to create the ad. Don’t forget to include your picture! Tips for finding Advertisers • Give the enclosed letter to potential sponsors. Whether mailing or handdelivering, always include a picture of yourself and a short hand-written note from you, thanking them in advance. • Think about people you do business with on a regular basis or family that may want to help you meet your goal. Write them down and set aside a date to visit them. • Visit them in person! It will show that you are motivated and truly a dedicated person. Be sure to dress within the Cinderella standards of modesty and age-appropriateness. • Don’t forget your manners. Always follow up with a thank you note. Whether you are thanking them for supporting you or just for their time, we always want to remember to send a thank you note!!! Sometimes they’ll order an ad AFTER receiving your thank you note because they are impressed by your manners! • Use the enclosed Record Sheet to keep track of your sales. (This sheet is for your use only and should be sent in only once, including all ads you have acquired. Please do not send a record sheet with individual submissions.) Pages that are completely designed and ready to go are considered “print ready”. You’ll email these print ready pages as .jpeg files to [email protected]. Don’t worry, there is also an option to have our printer design the pages for you at a cost of $10 each. All you’ll need to do is email the content to us as .jpeg attachments. (This .jpeg thing is very important, by the way.) Don’t forget to include your photo and any other text, info and images you’ll want on the page. We’ll take it from there! When sending your pages, please include participant’s full name and the size of the ad enclosed (full or half). Payments should be made out to PA Cinderella and mailed, along with the order form, to: PA State Cinderella Office, ATTN: Tanya Rice - 244 Molly Drive - Canonsburg, PA 15317. More Ad Page Examples:
