Editorial Invitation — Summer '08 Atlanta Dailies

EDITORIAL INVITATION
 

The temperature is climbing past 70 degrees! Can the summer markets be far behind?

We at Gifts & Decorative Accessories are already thinking about and planning for the summer market season — and once again partnering with our sister publication, Home Accents Today, in the semiannual publication of newspaper “dailies” during the Atlanta markets.

We invite you to submit new product photography or artwork, as well as information you would like GDA editors to consider featuring in one of the three July summer market issues. All products must be new introductions for the ’08 summer market season.

Of course, there is no charge, as this is an editorial initiative. But please do follow these important guidelines.
 
We do ask that you please do not send identical product information to both GDA and HAT. The same product information will not appear in more than one daily, and duplicate submissions only cause confusion and additional work for both GDA and HAT editors. Of course, a single manufacturer may send different product submissions to either magazine. We thank you for this consideration.
 
DEADLINE: Friday, June 6, 2008
 

We need high-quality images for publication. We can accept transparencies, prints and slides, but high resolution — 300 DPI or higher — digital images are preferred. Digital images must be at least 3x4 inches in size.

We can receive your images in several ways.

Digital images may be emailed to EditorialDesk@reedbusiness.com. Identification — including product name, manufacturer, manufacturer address, product description, ship date, SRP, Atlanta showroom location and email or phone number of contact — must be included in the body of each email. Submissions that do not include all the above requirements will not be accepted for consideration.

Digital images may also be saved to a CD and mailed or overnighted to GDA at Gifts & Decorative Accessories, 360 Park Avenue South, New York, NY 10010, attention, Maria Weiskott (646-746-7348).

If several images are contained on one CD, printouts of the images must be included along with their file names and identifications. The following information must also be included: product names, manufacturer, manufacturer address, product descriptions, ship dates, SRPs, Atlanta showroom location and email or phone number of contact. Slides, transparencies and photographs may be sent to the same address and all information mentioned above must be included in the package or the information will not be considered for publication.

To upload images to GDA by FTP, please email a request for directions to art director Miguel Bravo at mbravo@reedbusiness.com. Please remember that you must still provide all other qualifying product information to editor-in-chief Maria Weiskott by email (mweiskott@reedbusiness.com) or by mail.

Atlanta market events that you would like GDA to consider including in daily editorial coverage may also be submitted with a written request to EditorialDesk@reedbusiness.com. Requests for photographic coverage will also be considered.

DEADLINE for product submissions and all other requests is:

Friday, June 6, 2008
