Content guidelines

• Content must be Ahpra compliant, relevant to osteopathy, and subject to Osteopathy Australia approval. Osteopathy Australia reserves the right to refuse to advertise.
• eFlyers are placed on an email template with a mandatory Osteopathy Australia heading banner and a footer disclaimer stating that the item is a paid advertisement.
• Advertisement headline. This headline should be a maximum of 20 words and will be displayed at the top of your listing (not as part of the accompanying image).
• Advertisement body copy. Maximum 300 words, including copy over image.
• Image selection: We strongly recommend that no text appear in the image for better readability. However, if an advertiser decides to place text on the creative, it must appear on a clear background and be no more than eight words. Please note that any words that appear on the image are included in the total word count of 300 words.
• Website link. This is your call to action and where you would like readers to go for further information. You can place a maximum of three links in your ad, one for the accompanying image and one to two times in the body text. Emails will be hyperlinked.

Deadlines

The Advertising Marketplace eFlyer is sent out twice a month on the second and fourth Tuesdays.

• First, check availability with us at [email protected] or by calling 02 9410 0099. Once your availability has been confirmed, please make your payment below.
• Once payment has been received, only then will work commence on your eFlyer placement and no refunds will be given.
• Copy and image must be submitted at least one week prior to distribution of the eFlyer. Late submissions will not be accepted.
• The eFlyer booking may be transferred to another available date if space is available. If no space is available in the following three issues, no refunds will be offered.
• The advertiser will receive a draft for approval. There will be the opportunity for one round of edits which must be with us electronically two working days before publication date (excluding public holidays). Any additional edits will be charged at $85 per edit round. Further changes requested that compromise the broadcast date may result in ad placement not being included and no refund will be offered.

• Space is limited and if an ad placement needs to be rescheduled, we cannot guarantee space is available in the next eFlyer.
• No advertisements can be booked if any outstanding payments are due.
