The May Queen Programme is part of our marketing campaign to advertise the event and give everyone the all important details about the event each year. The programme is professionally printed and hand distributed to over 4000 homes across Lymm and copies are left in key businesses across the village for non-locals to collect, such as coffee shops and gift shops. (If you’d like to have a few extra copies to distribute in your shop, do let us know).
As such, advertising in the program is a fantastic and cost effective opportunity to reach such a large a local audience. It is also an opportunity to demonstrate how your business supports the community by contributing to the success of the event.
Following feedback from last year, we are pleased to offer a new smaller advertisement size this year of A8 (similar to business card size). We’re hoping more of the smaller businesses in Lymm will be able to support the event and program with this newer lower entry price for advertising. We continue to offer full page and half page advertisements, held at the same prices as in 2023.
You can submit your application either using the online form below, or if you prefer you can email it over to us. If you’d like to use email please email the marketing team at marketing@lymmmayqueen.co.uk. Please read and follow the guidelines below before your submit your advert.
If you are submitting your application for an advert by email, please include the following details:
The deadline for advert submissions is Friday 15th March 2024. The marketing team will reply back to confirm receipt and provide details for payments. Invoices will be issued if required. Any submissions after this date will unfortunately be too late to include in the program.
Upon receiving your advert, we will confirm its receipt and notify you of any issues or adjustments needed.
Prior to sending the programme to print, we will send you a PDF version of the programme to confirm that your advertisement looks correct. You will have 2 working days to request for any changes, after which the programme will be sent to print and no further changes will be possible.
The Lymm May Queen committee will determine which pages your advertisement appears on. Preferences can be requested but cannot be guaranteed.
Thank you for supporting the Lymm May Queen event!
If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us at marketing@lymmmayqueen.co.uk.
We strongly recommend submitting your advert in vector format for optimal print quality, such as PDF or Adobe Illustrator (AI).
If you are unable to provide a vector file, ensure that the resolution of your artwork is high enough for print. We recommend a minimum resolution of 300 DPI (dots per inch), otherwise your artwork may appear blurry / pixelated when printed. If you don’t know how to check, we can check this for you when you send your images over.
We have 3 options this year for advertisements, Full Page (A5), Half Page (A6) and Eighth Page (A8), which is similar to a business card size. Please ensure that your advert is sized according to the option you have chosen, otherwise we may need to crop or resize to fit in the designated space.
If your advert includes images or colours that extend to the edge of the page (bleed), please include a 3 mm bleed on all sides. Keep important content at least 5 mm away from the edge of the page to avoid potential trimming.
Ensure that your artwork is created in CMYK colour mode for accurate colour reproduction in print. Again, we can check this for you when you send your image over. If the image is not in CMYK format, when printed the colours may look slightly different to how they appear on screen.
If sending a vectors (PDF or AI file) please embed or outline all fonts used in your artwork to ensure they appear correctly when printed.
Please submit your advert by Friday 15th March to ensure inclusion in the programme. Late submissions may not be accepted.
