Ad 03 of 04

Email Invitation Banner

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.

Story / Flyer Vertical flyer — Service of Shadows and Stones

Ad 04 of 04

Vertical Flyer & Story Post

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.

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.

Newspaper Advertising

Placing the News-Miner Ad

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.
