Advertising and Promoting Through New Leaf
New Leaf offers a promotion system seamlessly integrated between online and print. Monthly we publish our beautiful, full-color
announcement catalog, NEW LEAVES UPDATE. Each issue is simultaneously published as a digital “flip-page” edition on our
website and back issues are archived in perpetuity. There is also a convenient search tool which searches through all issues
simultaneously. This means that your ads live on and on! Every product advertised is linked to that product’s detail page from
which buyers can place orders. Buyers love this—they can go through the print edition, mark it up and quickly go through
the online edition clicking and ordering their choices.

NEW LEAVES UPDATES are scoured cover to cover by most store buyers in our specialty market—even ones from whom
New Leaf is not their primary supplier. This makes ads in New Leaves a must for new titles and products in this market. It features
hundreds of items at special discounts. The publication is geared towards items new to New Leaf within six months of the release
date, or older items which the vendor wants to re-energize. See “Advertising and Promotions” at www.newleafvendors.com
Our website, www.newleaf-dist.com, is our store buyer’s primary tool for product selection and ordering. We offer WEB ADS
in multiple sizes and locations. We also offer WEB SPECIALS that are available only on our web site. Our site gets many public
visits in addition to store buyers, so ads get consumer attention as well. All ads are linked in multiple ways to both individual products
and vendor’s product lines. Buyers see web ads at the time they are selecting and ordering – it’s only a matter of a few clicks to
drop products into their shopping cart from an ad.

Our ENHANCED PRODUCT DETAIL PAGES give you much higher conversion rates from views to buys. This is a self managed
program permitting vendors to give buyers much more product information – extra images, more description room than Amazon,
sample content, reviews, audio and or video clips and more. This service is free to those who advertise through New Leaf for the
calendar year in which the advertising occurs.
Evolve! Magazine
New Spring and Fall Editions for 2015!
eLEAVES is our weekly email newsletter. With over 1,100 buyers having opted in, eLeaves is our most frequently read publication. It contains highlights of what is coming or what has actually been received in the last week. Because of its timeliness
and announcements of media events, many buyers say it is one of their most important tools. Ads link to product detail pages.
Why advertise in EVOLVE! Magazine
• Evolve! Magazine ads are consumer advertising that
double as trade advertising. Stores give the magazine
away free to people while they are in the store
shopping. This means that the stores need to have
the titles and products advertised on their shelves.
• We work with the store buyers via telephone and e-mail
prior to the issue release to get orders for advertised
books and products.
eFLYERS are an inexpensive way to reach an opt-in list of 1,200 buyers. They can include links to video and audio clips making
eFlyers an even better value.

How Web Ads Work – Each time a buyer goes to a page, ads rotate so that we keep the buyer’s attention by not
constantly showing the same ads. No more than 5 ads will rotate through a position except for the small ads on the Log In
Page and the Logged In Home Page where there can be as many as 7. Duration of ads will be for a period of one month. If
you are doing an Introductory Ad Package (new vendor or new title), your ad will run the month immediately after receipt of
you product. Ads for existing (or backlist) tiltles will run in the month you designate.
Ads may link to a list of all titles/products of a vendor or imprint, a selection of titles/products or a single item. These will be
designated on the Web Advertising Insertion Order Contract. If the ad links to a list, any item on the list may be clicked to
reach the detail page for that item.
Page Descriptions: (Please visit our web site at www.newleaf-dist.com for examples of web advertisements.)
• Home Page – Main page for which there is public access and we get many more visit than log ins. We know that buyers
use it for quick look ups without logging in and that sometimes they direct their customers to this page to search or browse.
New features are being added periodically to enhance site traffic and functionality.
• Log In Page – Page where buyers log in to place orders. Most customers have this page bookmarked so it’s their point
of first contact.
• Logged In Home – This is the page buyers see after logging in. (Buyers sometimes return to this page during sessions.)
It is from this page that the buyers actually place items in their shopping cart or wish list.
Web ads will run from the 1st of the month through
the end of the month. Repeat ads can run consecutively, or you may choose which months you want
repeat ad to run in.
To lock in frequency discounts before actual titles and
dates are known, please send a Web Advertising Insertion Order Contract with approximate dates filled out.
We can change the dates and add the titles once this
information is known. IMPORTANT: A separate Web
Advertising Insertion Order Contract is required for
each different ad. If you will run the same ad multiple
times, you can submit one insertion order contract,
and note the months you want the ad to run.
Please submit all Web Ad Insertion Order Contracts
and all ad images to ads@newleaf-dist.com Images
should be 72 dpi, .jpg (JPEG) files.
Ad Contract / Payment / Billing
You must submit a signed insertion order
contract for each ad placement.
Payment for advertising is due with the insertion
order contract and may be made by check, credit card
(MasterCard or Visa), Co-op contract or by deduction from
your New Leaf vendor account if the balance due you
exceeds the charges for your ad (requires approval). Co-op
contracts are invoiced at publication with payment due
within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. Ads received
after the deadline will be used in the following month’s
publication. We reserve the right to refuse ads at our
discretion, including ads that do not meet our specification.
You may download/print an Advertising Insertion
Order Contract by going to www.newleafvendors.com,
or email us at ads@newleaf-dist.com and request a PDF
be sent to you.
Let Us Help You Design an Ad Plan for the Year
We have found that the most effective advertising is
planned well in advance and includes as many exposures
as you can comfortably afford. We would love to help
you design a plan that is right for your needs. Ideally this
plan will include some type of exposure every quarter,
every other month or optimally every month in our
monthly Update, the go-to source for new titles and
products for our retailers. Depending on your budget, this
ad plan could also include web ads, eFlyers or eLeaves,
all of which are quite economical. We can also help you
maximize your dollars by designing a plan that takes
advantage of the frequency discounts that we offer
for the monthly Updates and the web ads, effectively
stretching your advertising dollars.
This service is free! All you have to do is contact our
Advertising and Promotions Specialist, Donna Conner at
dconner@newleaf-dist.com or at:
770-948-7845/3047. She will be happy to help you.

Web Special Ads
Here’s what you get:
•
A thumbnail image of your new title/product displayed in a carousel ad for one month. This carousel
is displayed prominently on the public home page
and the logged in home page, as well as the relevant
master catalog page. This is a great opportunity for
multiple exposures.
This promotion costs $50 per title/product. You will be able reach our entire customer base with information specific to your
titles/products. We offer the following frequency discounts as well:
2 Web Specials = $40 each To order this promotion, please fill out the Web Special Advertising Insertion Order Contract form (which can be
downloaded at www.newleafvendors.com) and return it to books@newleaf-dist.com. Please contact your buyer for further
details or for any questions you may have about promoting your titles/products through New Leaf.
• Carousel ad has hover capability to display key product
details such as title, ISBN and retail price.
•
Clicking the image of your title/product on the carousel takes the customer to your detail page from which
they can order when logged in.
•
A link under the ad takes customers to the complete
list of all titles/products on web special, along with
product details. Customers viewing the carousel ad
from the logged in home page will be able to order
with only one more click.
•
In order to generate interest and encourage retailers to
stock your title, New Leaf will offer your books/products to retailers in an Introductory Special for the same
month that the carousel ad runs. To make this possible,
you provide an extra 10% off of the cost of goods for the
first month, and in exchange New Leaf passes a discount
on to the retailers for that same period.
3 Web Specials = $35 each 4 Web Specials = $30 each
