Virtual Journal Ad Information
The importance of supporting the Ad Journal
Money raised from the Ad Journal helps fund outstanding programming and essential scholarships for our students.
Virtual Journal Benefits
For the school, there are obvious benefits to having a Virtual Journal - it is environmentally friendly and allows more money to go towards programming and scholarship. However, there are also many benefits from the perspective of a sponsor and allows for much greater ad exposure than a print journal.
- The Virtual Ad Journal will be screened on large screens at the school dinner.
- The Journal will be available online for viewing for an entire year to anyone who visits the school website.
- Google and other search engines will pick up sponsor ads, increasing sponsor visibility on the web.
- Viewers will be able to link to a business’s website through their business logo or camera ready ad.
- Sponsors can conveniently submit their ads anytime online.

FOR CURRENT PARENTS
Earn back $$$!
Current parents can earn back up to $750 of their tuition payment by selling ads. You will receive dollar for dollar credit on any ads you sell, up to $750. In addition, selling more ads than that helps raise needed funds for our school!
Who to solicit
Businesses - doctors, contractors, hairdressers, restaurants, etc. - let them know about all the expanded exposure they will be getting! See benefits above.
Grandparents, Relatives, and Friends - explain to them the importance of supporting the journal, suggest they send a mazel tov to a GOA student or show their appreciation for a teacher, volunteer, or you!
How to solicit ads
The best way is to ask for ads in person and explain the purpose of the journal and the benefits to them. If you can't ask in person, then you can either send a personal email with the link to the online ad form, or a personal note with a hard copy ad form and return envelope.
