Postcard Design Needed for StableManagement.com. November 15th deadline.

Animal & Pet

Stable Management was a trade magazine for equine business owners for the past 12 years. It covers anything and everything to do with running a equine facility. It was the only trade magazine in the industry. We are now converting from a paid publication to an all-digital enterprise after almost 12 years. We have a loyal audience that we need to move on-line. We want to reassure them that we will continue to provide everything we have in the magazine and so much more. This is still their number-one resource for their business. We're excited about the new opportunities. Our old website is www.stable-management.com. We are in the process of designing and launching the brand new website. You can see our work in progress at http://stablemanagement.metropublisher.net/ Our content will remain similar, but we have simplified our website to give readers and users a one-stop resource for their equine business. The website has a completely new look with a simplified/focused content and is much easier to navigate.

We need a 5.5 x 8.5 (horizontal) postcard designed. This postcard will be the first announcement (to our 18,000 loyal readers) that our new website has launched. DESIGN GUIDELINES: We are using postcards.com to send this out. Please use theire guidelines for design specs: http://www.postcards.com/product_uploadartwork.php?productid=154 Important!!: Please be aware of the backside postage areas - they need to be left clear of copy but graphics are OK to sit behind these postage areas. You can see where the backside postage areas are on postcards.com. IMPORTANT: Our brand color is PMS#138. Our magazine had a gold border (PMS#138) with black accents. Please use this color in some way for brand familiarity for readers. COPY POINTS: 1) "Stable Management introduces an all-new digital community designed to bring you the latest news, products and trends to help you run your equine business." 2) Feel free to include anything from our mission paragraph: "StableManagement.com is a one-stop resource for the horse professional covering all aspects of running a successful equine business. From barns (stalls, turnout, arenas) to farm equipment (tractor, UTV, trailer, attachments), and from equine insurance and liability to horse boarding and client management, StableManagement.com has the information you need, just a click away." 3) Bullet point this as you see fit: "New content delivered weekly, The popular Finding Out Forum for the exchange of ideas, 12 years of Stable Management articles archived in one place." 4) Urgency of getting people to take the postcard and go to their computer to check it out. "StableManagement.com has launched an all-new digital enterprise! Check it out." 5) Space for a QR code on the address side IMAGES: There are 5 uploaded images. 1. Be sure to use the SM_Logo in a big way as that is our our new logo with the new website navigation bar. 2. Please use the QR code on the address side (backside) of the postcard. 3.Use the remaining 3 photos however you'd like. E-mail liz@saminfo.com if you have any questions. Thanks!!

Our audience is mostly middle aged folks who are owners and operators of equine boarding and training facilities.

Every design category has flexible pricing for all budgets.
