Four ready-to-use ads for print, email, and social media — all sized and formatted for their intended channels.
Ad 01 of 04
A high-contrast portrait ad designed for newspaper print. The dramatic candlelit cross and bold gold typography will stand out on a newsprint page surrounded by text-heavy content.
Submit this image file directly to your News-Miner advertising representative. Request a display ad placement — ideally in the weekly church listings section or Faith & Community page the week of March 30.
Specifications
Ad 02 of 04
A bold 1:1 square post optimized for Facebook, Instagram feed, and Nextdoor. The single candle against a dark background is eye-stopping in a crowded feed.
Post this to Zion's Facebook page, your personal Facebook, and the Fairbanks Nextdoor community board. Pin it to the top of Zion's page once posted so it stays visible. Suggested caption is below.
Specifications
Ad 03 of 04
A wide landscape banner designed to open your email invitation. Place this image at the very top of your email — before any text — so the first thing recipients see when they open the message is the event title and date.
Works perfectly in Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, and Constant Contact. Attach the image and insert it inline at the top, or use it as the header in any email newsletter template.
Specifications
Ad 04 of 04
The most dramatic of the four — a stone cross against a stormy sky with amber light breaking through. Formatted for mobile-first viewing. Use as an Instagram Story, Facebook Story, or print as a full-page 8.5×11 flyer for bulletin boards.
This format works especially well forwarded directly from a smartphone — the full-screen portrait image commands attention when someone opens a text or DM. Forward it to anyone you're personally inviting.
Specifications
Ad 05 of 05
A scannable QR code that links directly to zioneaster.com. Print it alongside any of the other ads, add it to your bulletin, or drop it into a PowerPoint slide — anyone with a smartphone can scan it to get full event details instantly.
Works especially well paired with the vertical flyer or the Newsminer print ad. Print it at any size — as small as 1 inch square it remains scannable.

Ready-to-Send
Copy and paste the text below into your email. Attach the email banner (Ad 03) as an inline image at the top of the message body, then paste this text beneath it. Personalize the greeting line for closer contacts.
Send to your Zion directory contacts and personal list no later than March 31 — giving people three days' notice for a Friday evening service.
Suggested Subject Line
You're invited — a Good Friday service unlike any other (April 3 · 6PM)
Newspaper Advertising
The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner is the most effective paid print channel for reaching Fairbanks residents who are not already in your email or social networks — especially older adults and those less active online.
Call their advertising department to place a display ad. Ask specifically about their Church & Faith community section and their rates for the March 31 – April 2 editions (the days immediately before Good Friday). The print ad image (Ad 01) is ready to send as a PNG file attachment.
