— Jennifer ShumateFrequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions about reserving advertising space in the Gainesville Area Guide.
When will the new Directory or Guide be published?
The publication schedule is coordinated with Gainesville Area Chamber. Reserve early so your placement and artwork can be confirmed before production deadlines.
When should I reserve my ad space?
Reserve as soon as possible. Premium pages, cover positions, and larger ad sizes are limited and may be claimed early in the sales period.
What happens after I reserve my ad space?
Community Matters, Inc. will confirm your order, placement details, artwork requirements, and the next steps needed to prepare your advertisement.
Can I reserve now and send artwork later?
Yes. You may reserve available space first and provide final artwork by the production deadline communicated by the project team.
Do you offer ad design help?
Design assistance may be available. Contact Community Matters, Inc. to discuss artwork requirements and the materials needed to create an effective ad.
What do bleed, trim, and live-area dimensions mean?
Bleed extends artwork beyond the finished page edge, trim is the final cut size, and the live area keeps important text and logos safely inside the page. The project team will confirm the correct specification for your placement.
