1) Who to Contact: Ann Toll, Buyer Advertising, is your lead Account Coordinator. In order to place an ad, contact her as shown above.

B) Send us your contact information, including mailing address, email address and fax number.

C) Identify your target audience, including demographics and geography. You may have a specific publication in mind for your advertising. However, if you’re not sure, tell us the location or group of people you would like to reach and we will make a recommendation.

3) What Happens Next? After we build your ad, we will email you a proof. The proof will show you the ad along with a cost estimate. Review the ad and the cost. Let us know if you have any changes. We will make the changes and email another proof.

4)  Amherst Campus Requirement:  Create an eProcurement requisition in the Finance System made out to Buyer Advertising to authorize the placement of the ad. Make sure that you reference the Human Resources Personnel Requisition Number for the authorized position.  Use of the Procard instead of a purchase order is allowable, providing you have an HR Employee Requisition number and position ad that have been approved by all appropriate parties.  Once the ad text is completed, if paying by purchase order, email your approval to Buyer Advertising and reference the purchase order number.  If you are paying by Procard, you must phone in your authorization.  (Never reference your credit card number in an email.)   The ad will then be submitted to the approved media for placement.

5) Future Ads: After placing your first ad, you will only need to send us new positions, job descriptions, and  the authorized payment method  (at the Amherst Campus, make sure HR has approved the position and the ad first and include the HR Personnel Requisition ID). We will keep all other information on file to use in future ads.
