specs | guidelines
print | California Real Estate magazine
California Real Estate magazine has established the following
guidelines to maintain the consistency, believability, accuracy,
and good taste of advertorials. They will help to ensure the
success of your advertorial and assist you in creating an
editorial feel for your advertising. Your advertorial pages are
layed out and designed by California Real Estate magazine
as part of the service.
* If the advertorial will not include a photo, you may opt to
include a short pull quote instead of extending the body
text slightly.
Advertorial text must be submitted via e-mail (as a Word
or other text file) by the published deadline.
Note that trademarks (™), register marks (®), etc. will
be utilized only in their first instance in an advertorial.
California Real Estate magazine will not incorporate graphic
elements such as banners, starbursts, etc. in the advertorial
or underline words or product names, or use all caps or
callouts. No logos, branding, prices, or other evidence of
advertising accepted within copy. Advertorial copy cannot
imply product endorsement by the magazine or C.A.R.
1. copy requirements
Advertorial copy may be written and submitted by the
advertiser. If preferred, the advertiser may alternatively work
with the Publisher to create the advertorial copy together.
After booking your advertorial, our production manager
will be in touch to find out how you would like to proceed.

Advertorial approval forms, which only include images and
copy, will be sent to the Client for approval. Client should
carefully check all body copy and, if time permits, make any
revisions directly on the approval form and send the signed
form back to C.A.R. by the assigned deadline. By signing
the approval form, the client is agreeing that it is solely
responsible for any content provided by or developed on
behalf of the client. Client will not see or approve a layout
at any stage including the final layout.
Due dates will be indicated on the approval form. If C.A.R.
does not receive final sign-off from the client by the date
indicated on the approval form, the advertorial will be
considered approved by the client for C.A.R. to run and
place in the magazine as worded and shown on the
approval form, and the client agrees to all stipulations
on the form.
C.A.R. reserves the right to edit or reformat any material
in order to maintain proper word count, grammar, and
tense usage in compliance with standard copywriting and
magazine guidelines. C.A.R. reserves the right to reject
articles that are poorly written, contain inappropriate
content, do not meet other requirements, or for any
reason at any time. No advertorial will be accepted that
is misleading, deceitful, fraudulent, unlawful, or reflects
unfavorably on an individual, race, religion, gender,
occupation, or institution or maligns the products and/or
services of another company inside or outside the real
estate industry.

c. Backup Images
i. Click-through URL, original Flash files, and static
gif or jpeg images MUST be provided with submission of Flash ads. These files are used as a
fallback feature when user technologoy does not
support Flash.
d. Click Tags
Problems with Flash creative may result from
incorrect clickTAG implementation. To troubleshoot,
please ensure:
i. The clickTAG variable is properly
implemented in the action of the button.
ii.
iii.
iv.
The ActionScript with clickTAG is associated with the button that the user clicks, and not with any other button.
In the getURL() function of the action, specify the click-through URL as ‘clickTAG’ and the target window as “_blank”.
The button associated with the ActionScript containing the clickTAG should be:
■■ on the topmost layer through the timeline
■■ extended throughout the entire frame
■■ applied to all existing frames
e. Scripts
i. Minimize script whenever possible to avoid a potential slowdown in delivery.
ii. The following ActionScript is MANDATORY; it
allows C.A.R. to easily update the URL if necessary and enables our ad server to track clicks more accurately.
iii. Create an invisible button covering the entire area
of the creative and assign the action script to the
button.
iv. Please use this exact script:
on (release) {
if (clickTAG.substr(0,5) == “http:” | | clickTAG.
substr(0,6) == “https:”) {
getURL(clickTAG, “_blank”);
}
}
