Reserving Ad Space
We allow advertisers on a first come, first served basis until we have reached our limit of ads for that month. Please note that our ad spaces are sold out a few months in advance. Please allow 1 week for us to get back to your request. To reserve space:

  1. Download and fill in the Ad Reservation Form and email the form to us at advertising@ggmg.org.
  2. Once we confirm there is space available for the requested months, you will receive an invoice via e-mail requesting payment. Please make all checks payable to GGMG and in the reference section note your company name, size of ad and month(s) reserved. Note that payment must be received no later than the artwork due date OR within 30 days of receiving the invoice, whichever is first. If payment has not been received in a timely manner, we reserve the right to let your space go to another paid advertiser.

Most months we sell out of ad space, so we encourage advertisers to reserve space as early as possible. Ads can be placed one month at a time, for three consecutive months at a time, or a selection of months throughout the year. After the 3rd month, we require at least a one-month break to allow advertisers on our waiting list an opportunity to place an ad. You can reserve up to 6 ads at one time.

Your reservation is not final until we receive your check. We'll generally hold your reservation for two weeks from the date you place the reservation, to give you time to mail the check. If we do not receive your payment within two weeks, we may give your space to another advertiser. Given our large volume of inquiries, we cannot guarantee that we will notify you before releasing your reservation to another advertiser. We will notify you when we receive the check, so please let us know if you have not received confirmation for your payment. We do not accept online or credit card payments at this time.
