We strive to provide a service you are completely satisfied with. Our design & production team are on hand to make sure that your advert is de- signed and fully approved. The cost for design and approval is included in the price of the advert. We are confident that we can provide your business with the publicity it requires. Talk to us about your advertising requirements and find out how we can raise the profile of your business in the local community. Make your AD work We really do want your advert to work best for you and sometimes what you want isn’t what’s going to work so we’ve compiled a few hints and tips to get the best out of the space that you’ve bought within the maga- zine. Keep it clean If your ad is busy it doesn’t work as well. The most common mistake that the client makes is to try and cram too much content into their ad and it can be detrimental to its effectiveness. 1. The power of assumption: If your company’s name is John’s Fishmongers you don’t have to tell people again and again that you sell fish. They’ll know. 2. It’s all in the timing: Remember that the reader spends on average 2 seconds glancing over your ad so if it doesn’t get them in that time it fails to work. Bigger Is better but don’t cram it: The bigger your ad is the more impact it has. You’re much better not to fill it just because you have more space. No bad pics.... Fuzzy, lo-res, grainy or out-of-focus images are detrimental to your advert. Taking pics on your phone do not constitute a print quality image and can make your company look amateurish. 1. Let a pro do the work: The best thing to do is to get a professional to take them, not a pal with a good camera. It might cost a few quid but it pays off in the long run. 2. A means to an end: If you don’t have professional photographer at your disposal then stock imagery can be used. It’s not perfect but it’s better than mobile phone camera pics. Stockists have the stuff: If you’re the stockists of a certain product there’s a good chance that they will have good images that you can use. Just ask them. Meet us half way We don’t know your business so we need to get some level of input from you. Sometimes that’s done best by popping into the office to speak the designer or communicating through emails. 1. What tickles your fancy?: Have a look to see what other ads there are in our magazine that you like or have a peak on Google and let us know. 2. Help us to see: We may not know the industry that you work in so we don’t know the faux pas’ and cli- chés. Best to give us a heads up. We don’t know you: You have your own personal preferences for things like colour and imagery so don’t keep it to yourself. It saves everyone’s time if you just let us know. Thank You. -Editor, Moses Wilberforce Nti-Asare 3 https://www.facebook.com/communityadman https://www.twitter.com/communityadman Accra Community Magazine Apri l 2019 30 Day Powered by Accu Weather April is the fourth month of the year, the first of four months to have a length of 30 days, and the second of five months to have a length of less than 31 days. People born in April are sensitive folks. They not only feel every emotion clearly, but they sense what others around them are feeling and going through as well. This causes them to be good em- pathizers and therefore, they can advise people from experience. They make good mentors. April born folks fear nothing. They are always up for a challenge and see opportunities in the most diffi- cult endeavours. Their life’s mantra is ‘if you haven’t tried or risked things and failed, you have done nothing life!’ April born individuals are good looking and have a certain charm to them. These qualities surround them with an aura of seduc- tion and this is especially true in the case of April -born girls. So it won’t come as a surprise if you find yourself falling very hard for someone like her! April born individuals have a great sense of adventure. Risk-taking is in their blood and they will keep themselves entertained undertaking the craziest activities. Their favourite pastime is to indulge in adventure sports of all kinds; the scar- ier the better! April born individuals are quick learners and innovative in their approach. There- fore, it comes as no surprise that they make great leaders. They have a dual quality of being dy- namic yet grounded which helps them lead all sorts of people. People working under them will benefit from their knowledge and ideas. It is how- ever not surprising that the Late Kofi Annan was born in April. If you were born in April, you may be celebrating your birthday with Hon. Prof. Aaron mike Oquaye, Hon Joseph Kofi Adda, Quincy Owusu Abayie, John Boye etc. This Month is going to feature important Chris- tian activities like Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter. This means that there may be holi- days for workers and a lot of events in Accra. 4 To advertise call 0573568118 or Email [email protected] Read online https://www.issuu.com/communityadman Accra Community Magazine Digital Edit ion YOUR AD COULD BE HERE GET FREE ADVERTISEMENT IN OUR PAGES FOR THE NEXT ISSUE EMAIL [email protected] Contact: 0573568118 5 https://www.facebook.com/communityadman https://www.twitter.com/communityadman Accra Community Magazine LOCAL NEWS Apri l 2019 GHANA AIRPORT AMASSAMAN GETS AUTHORITY FIGHTS POTABLE WATER ALLEGED EXTOR- The people of Amasaman TION in the Ga West Municipal- ity now have access to Ghanaians took to social media to complain of an potable water as a result alleged extortion at of water services extended Ghana’s only interna- there by the Accra West tional airport (Kotoka In- Region of Ghana Water On March, 22, 2019, the ternational Airport) For Company Limited Company celebrated this some years now, travel- (GWCL). lers through the airport year’s World Water Day in have constantly com- the capital of the Munici- working at the Kotoka The extension of water to plained about the level of pality, with the Chief of International Airport. the Municipality was extortion at the airport.
