We
have advertised with ALC before. Can we use the same ad for
ALC's upcoming publication? |
| |
|
|
Yes. Once you advertise
with us, we keep digital data files of your ad for a few years.
So, if you would like to run the same ad without any changes
in ALC's other guides, you can do that. In this case, only
a space insertion fee will be charged (the artwork publication
fee is not charged). |

|
 |
Would I be charged for making changes to the ad? |
| |
|
|
Yes. However, prices
vary depending on the amount and type of changes.
While minor changes are considered as up to three changes,
major changes are considered as four changes and above.
(changing images including photo(s) or logo, would be considered
as major changes) |

you have a translation service? |

fee is included in the production fee. Please note, we only
