As we did last August, the Metaverse Messenger will once again publish a real world printed edition of the M2 the week of the Second Life Community Convention, scheduled for August 24-26 at the Hilton Chicago. The special M2 will be published August 21 and the real world copies will be available at SLCC and by request afterward.

10,000 copies of the real world M2 will be published.

A few notes concerning ad sales for the SLCC issue:

Please note that for your ad to run in that issue it must be ordered and paid for separate from your regular ad renewal, if you are running an ad at that time.

There will be 60 pages in the SLCC edition; six sections with ten pages each -- News, Entertainment, Community, Fashion, Lifestyles and SLCC. Advertisers may specify with section they wish their ads be in; however, this is on a strictly first come, first served basis.

The front and back pages of each section will be full color. The first page of each section will only have a front page underline ad space -- the one inch high, full width space that you see each week on page one of the regular M2.

Color ads and front page underlines are sold on a first come, first served basis.

RATES

The base rate for advertising in this issue will be US$9.50 per column inch, payable either in L$ or in USD via PayPal.

The rate on color ads will be US$15.00 per column inch.

The Front Page Underline in each section, six (6) in all, will be priced at US$250.00 each.

Each section will have an area called "Here's my Card." These will be small, business card sized ads for those who cannot afford larger ones. These ads will be US$40 each.

DEADLINES

The ad deadline is July 15, 2007. Ads sold after that date will pay an additional 10% fee. Advertisers will be able to preview their ads on August 1. We will not quarantee the appearance or inclusion of any ad that is not reviewed by its purchaser.

Ads sold between April 1 and April 30, 2007 will receive a 15% discount off the standard rate. Ads sold between May 1, 2007 and May 31, 2007 will receive a 10% discount. Ads sold on or after June 1, 2007 will be full price.

Thank you,

P2
