SRGC ADVERTISING MANAGER
David Nicholson has intimated his desire to retire from the position of SRGC Advertising Manager but as yet there has been no firm offer of a replacement.
Please read about the job and give some thought as to whether or not you might be able to help the Club by taking on this task.
JOB DESCRIPTION
1. To seek advertising business from those who are likely to fit the role, ethos and standards of the Club and where there is doubt to liaise with the Club’s Editor.
2. Where necessary, to produce artwork using Microsoft Publisher on behalf of advertisers who do not possess the technology and skill to produce artwork of a good standard.
3. To liaise with the Editor in respect of the space required for advertisements in each issue of The Rock Garden.
4. To prepare a plan of the proposed advertising layout for use in each issue of The Rock Garden and to submit these to the Editor and the Printers and to consult with both as is necessary.
5. To submit invoices to advertisers 4 to 6 weeks following the publication of each issue and to prepare a spreadsheet of invoices raised for the information of the Club’s Treasurer. At this point also to send a copy of The Rock Garden in which their advertisement appears to those advertisers who are not also Club members.
6. To receive cheques from advertisers paying by this method and to forward these to the Treasurer for banking. To liaise with advertisers as appropriate in respect of their chosen method of payment other than by cheque and to advise the Treasurer accordingly.
7. To keep the Club’s advertising rates under annual review, in conjunction with the Treasurer.
8. To maintain such records as are necessary to enable the holder to carry out the functions of the post and to liaise effectively with other Club officers and the Printers.
PERSON SPECIFICATION
The advertising manager is an Office Bearer and is not a member of the SRGC Council and as such is not required to attend meetings of the Council.
In theory the office holder could be located anywhere in the World but it would be ideal to have at least a basic knowledge of the 'market' and of the British VAT regime. Rarely do advertisers and potential advertisers come from outside Europe in the widest sense.
Over 95% of the contacts required with advertisers and potential advertisers can be and are made via emails.
A reasonable standard of computer skills and awareness is necessary. Microsoft Publisher and Microsoft Word are used regularly and the necessary software is provided. The current post holder had no previous experience of Publisher prior to taking the role.
