Advertising is the key to making Your Community ADman a success. 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 designed 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 magazine.

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 qual- ity 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 clichés. 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.

Associate Professor Fry- denberg says parents can help children to cope by discouraging unhelpful strategies – like excessive crying, tantrums, blaming oneself and anger – and encouraging helpful strategies such as asking for help, saying sorry and staying calm.

She says encouraging children to talk to an adult about their worries is particularly effective when it leads to conversa- tions about coping.

23 https://www.facebook.com/communityadman https://www.twitter.com/communityadman Accra Community Magazine Entertainment May, 2019/Issue 2 Adom FM Music Chart (Week 16): DJ Mic Smith’s ‘Jama’ pushes 'Omo Ada' from number one spot

The reign of Medikal’s ‘Omo Ada’ at number one on the Adom FM Music Chart has come to an end.

The number four song in week 15 ‘Jama’ is number one. This DJ Mic Smith’s song featuring Patoranking and Shaker has been running up and down the charts since its first ap- pearance on it.

The climb of this song to the number one spot proves how much Ghanaians love their morale ‘jama’ songs.

Senior high school students, university students, corporate people at outdoor events, everyone have their versions of jama. Hence it is not surprising to see fans fall in love with DJ Mic’s song. Its popularity has kept it in the top five for a long time. For six weeks, ‘Omo Ada’ has been number one and its constant play around the country made people love it the more.

But, the Medikal song has been dethroned and has taken over the second spot. ‘Kpo Keke’ by Stonebwoy gets to keep the number three spot. However, the regular play of the song across the country may push the song back to the number one spot.

Since its release, the song which features Medikal, DarkoVibes, Kelvyn Boy and Kwesi Arthur has already topped the charts six times. ‘W’asue Me’ by Obaapa Christy has moved back up into the top five. The song which was at number six has taken the fourth position. ‘Nothing I Get’ by Fameye made it to number two in week 15 after its third appearance on the chart. The song at number five this week only shows Ghanaians love for this song is still strong. At number six is ‘Don’t Be Late’ by Kofi Mole. Okyeame Kwame’s ‘Bra’ has moved from number 11 to number seven. ‘Chochomucho’ by Bless is at number eight and still in the top ten. Many fans of this song for some reason cannot believe they missed it in 2017 until it resurfaced last year. It is still getting a lot of airplay and does not look like it will die soon. ‘Mr. Badman’ by KiDi is two steps up from week 15’s position. The song is at number nine. Ohemaa Mercy’s ‘Onim Me’ has also moved up to the tenth spot. Three moves up from its previous position. DJ Vyrusky’s ‘Baby’, has dropped to number 11. The song features Shatta Wale, KiDi and Kuami Eugene. Sarkodie’s 2019 release ‘I Know’ featuring Reekado Banks has also moved from number five to twelve. ‘Walaahi’ by Kuami Eugene is at number 13. At number 14 is Dada Hafco’s ‘Fall Down’. Samini’s ‘Rainbow’ is climbing the charts steadily. This week it is at number 15. Debuting on the chart this week at number 16 is ‘Sure’ by Dadie Opanka featuring the 3Music’s ‘Music Woman of the Year’ winner, Adina. Also making a first appearance on the charts at number 17 is ‘Bad En- ergy’ by Guru featuring Kwesi Swat.

Week 16’s third debut song is Kontihene’s ‘Tricks’. The song is at number 18. Fancy Gadam’s ‘Only You’ fea- turing Kuami Eugene is holding on to the number 19 spot. ‘Strong Bond’ by DJ Bridash featuring Yaw Berk and King Maaga, is at number 20. ‘Never Again’ by Kofi Kinaata featuring Shatta Wale made an appearance on the charts in week 15 for the first time since its debut but it could not stay.

Medikal’s Ayekoo has also dropped out of the charts.

It looks like the journey of ‘Love you die’ by Andy Dosty featuring Kuami Eugene on the charts has ended.

Join Andy Dosty this and every Saturday at 12:30 pm, on the Adom Chart Show on Adom FM, to find out if ‘Jama’ by DJ Mic Smith will still hold on to number one or be dragged down
