PLEASE NOTE: As of 10/15/11, random banner ads are no longer available at TRS individually or as part of ad packages. This is in preparation for our new site coming soon. We have advertisers with random banner ads banked for future use and these will be honored and converted to static ads on our current or future site.
As of 1/17/12, headliner ads are no longer available at TRS. We have many advertisers with headliner ads banked for future use and these will be honored and advertised on our current site. Once we go to a new site, any unused headliner ads will be exchanged for a comparable type of ad.
As of 1/17/12, the new release blow out package is also no longer available. All ads banked for purchased packages will be honored, the headliner ads handled as stated above. A new advertising package will take its place soon. Thank you!

The banner can be a single frame or an animation of up to 7 frames. We'll need the images you want to use, to know what each frame will say, and any color or font preferences. Email us to get started.
Newsletter Email Ads in Studio Notes
(Image is of email sent to our subscribers. The circled areas are the ad spaces we are offering.)
Twice a month, on the 1st and 15th, we send our official newsletter to just over twelve thousand good emails. Want to see your ad on the email announcement going to this audience? This is a great opportunity to reach our audience of twelve thousand plus subscribers which is growing all the while. Folks who open the email announcement to read about the latest issue of Studio Notes will also see your ad. (Please note that we can't guarantee that members of our audience will always open the email.) Images and text must be suitable for a general audience and PG rated. No excessive nudity. No exceptions. Advertisers agree that images will be sized to fit into our email format. Images may be accompanied by up to 50 words (strict limit) of text including links. Ad space cost - one image, up to 50 words of text, one issue - $35
Please note: We have no newsletter ad spaces left for 2011. We have a LOT of space for 2012. We just wanted to let you know. Thank you!
