The Production Process
1. Place your order through the Print Version
Ordering page or E-Newsletter Ordering
page. You may pay by credit card, check, or money order (if you're
paying by check or money order, you will be mailed an invoice after the
newsletter is complete).
2. After we receive your order, we will send
you an email entitled "Welcome To Left Field Media" which includes
instructions on how to submit information, graphics, color choices, and
layout preference for your newsletter.
3. Once you submit your information,
graphics, color choices, and layout preference, we will then create your
initial proof and email the proof to you for your approval or for you to
request changes. We have no limit on the number of changes you
can request.
4. Once you are completely satisfied
with your newsletter proof, we will then create a final version of the
newsletter and either ship the newsletters directly to you (print
version) or email the newsletter to you (e-newsletter version).
5. For all newsletter versions--print
version and e-newsletter version--you will receive the newsletters
before the first day of the month for that issue's date. For example,
for the April issue, you will receive your newsletters before April 1.
To ensure this, we begin the newsletter production process one month in
advance.
If you have any questions about the
production process or any of our products and services, please see the
Frequently Asked Questions page or contact
us at
