The Wind newspaper, Zephyr News, is accepting advertisements!
Well, what kind of advertisements are you talking about? Just about anything. We will advertise your hatcheries, leveling services, nest rentals, raffles, art shops, and just about anything you can think of!
If you’d like to see examples on how advertisements will be carried out, you can refer to the first issue of the Zephyr here. Advertisements will be scattered around the paper depending on size and any extras will be filled in at the end.
Next Issue: TBA
Accepting Ads until: TBA
So how do I get advertised?
There are three types of advertisements to choose from that differ in size.
Small Advertisements
Graphics should be 150x100px in size.
Small advertisements can also be in text with a maximum of 140 characters, not words. A text advertisement with 140 characters can be something like this:
”Looking for an Earth nest to rent out? Send a message to [username] (ID#) saying so! Prices and collateral will be discussed once contacted!”
Small advertisements are worth 1,000T
Medium Advertisements
Graphics should be 230x100px in size.
Medium advertisements are worth 2,000T
Large Advertisements
Graphics should be 475x100px in size.
Large advertisements are worth 5,000T
FAQ
Do I have to be in Wind to purchase an advert?
Of course not! Anyone can purchase an advert.
Can I purchase more than one advert?
Currently, yes. Depending on space and interest, this may change. However, if we do not have enough space, only one advert will be placed in the paper and the other will be rolled over to the next issue.
What if you don't have enough space for my advert?
If we find there is not enough space, your purchase will rollover into the next issue of the paper and you will be notified via PM.
Can I buy adverts for different things?
Yes. If for example you have a hatchery but also rent out your lair, you can buy two different adverts.
How often does an issue come out?
The paper will be released bimonthly, in other words, every two weeks.
How long would an advert last?
Buying an advert buys that space for one issue.
Would buying an advert in bulk/over a long period of time (more than one issue) amount to a discount?
Yes. We have subscription packages you may buy:
Full price for 1 issue.
5% off for 5 issues
30% off for a year (26 issues)
For example: say you wanted to buy large adverts for 5 issues. You would get a 5% discount for those five issues, bringing your total to 23,750T for the five issues instead of the full price of 25,000T. Additionally, if you buy adverts in bulk/consistently, your advert will have priority.
Are gif images permitted?
Yes, but if our Tumblr platform comes back online, they can only be 2 MB in size. You may provide a stationary image for the Tumblr platform in lieu of the gif image if you would prefer to keep its regular size.
What if I want to buy an advert for something that isn't listed?
Let iBrBz or DwiinDovah know!
But wait!
I dont have a graphic for my ads and I dont want to buy a text advert, what can I do?
Well, we can do that for you! Post here pinging Sylwyth and let them know! They are the Zephyr's advertisement artist and will gladly make a graphic for your advert for 20kT. Note however, that this does not include the advertisement space, just the graphic to be made.
