Rachelsilver1985 Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 understandable but surely you get a proof before its printed lol that and the guests changed a while ago now lol not that im moaning cause im not going just thinking about all the people reading todays mirror that want to go lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikstar1989 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 yea they better hold onto that proof cause if people book without looking on here then you could be looking into a false advertising debarcle especially with the 'no refund' policy.

Rachelsilver1985 Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 exactly what I thought to be honest. As for a scan cant do it now but can do one later everything is right apart from guests just shocked cause I put adverts in paper for my company and always triple check proof before print Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyT Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Deadlines unfortunately. Advertising for events in magazines and newspapers is often out of date. Understandable for monthly magazines with over a hundred pages - quite a few of those pages are all adverts, or adverts and pre-written features only, and are printed early in the monthly production run, which means the artwork may be needed six or eight weeks in advance for preliminary layout. Yes, they do have a long leadtime on their deadlines before publication. But a daily newspaper is created every day. None of it is pre-printed days in advance. I'd be very surprised if an advert was "fixed in stone" a week and a half ahead. Certainly I know of adverts being changed at shorter notice. Might have cost more though, possibly significantly. That said, nobody is going to "book" based on ad in today's paper - the online shop is closed. I suppose they could turn up on the door, but it's a bit short notice. Surprised it wasn't run a week or two earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
