Deliver Your Ad
All ads must be delivered through one of our approved preflight delivery vendors…
We DO NOT accept ads via email or file transfer. It is the sender’s responsibility to ensure that all advertising we receive is fit for print and has been checked (‘Preflighted’) by an approved method before we receive it.
We receive hundreds of ads every day, so manually checking each one, raising issues, and working with you to fix them is not viable. The Delivery vendors listed are here to provide that service to you.
Qmuli
www.qmuli.com | Delivery fee: from £7.50 per file
Specle
www.specle.net | Delivery fee: from £15 per file
AdSend/AdStream
www.adsend.com | Delivery fee: from £15 per file
URNs (Unique Reference Numbers)
All ads MUST be delivered with the correct URN entered in at the point of upload.
This URN allows us to match the creative you have sent to us with the correct booking. If your ad does not arrive with a valid URN, there is the possibility that it could be matched to the wrong booking.
How do I find my URN?… On your Delivery Vendor account!
Once you have signed up with one of our approved delivery vendors; all of your bookings with us (+other UK publishers) and their URNs will be visible in your account.
You will also be shown the exact sizes, and deadlines, and can confirm the ad is in hand - preventing us from chasing you unnecessarily*
*Bookings are shared with delivery vendors based on user email domain addresses - e.g. if you open an account with qmuli using someone@smiths.com, then all bookings in our system with a copy contact of anyone@smiths.com will be shared with your account.
