"Andrea
I just wanted to follow up with you. I was told to place an ad for your client in the President's Day section. The ad size will be 8x7 with spot color. There is a Monday placement and that ad is also 8x7."
MY RESPONSE 2/1 at 10:30
"Hi there,
8 columns or 8 inches. Please confirm.
Also, what is the date of the Presidents' Day section? Please confirm the 3 dates and provide artwork deadlines for each ad.
Thanks"
HIS RESPONSE minutes later
"Sorry, 8 columns by 7 inches"
MY RESPONSE
"OK. What is you 8column size in inches so I can re-size the ad. Also, what are the run dates and deadlines for the three ads? Please confirm."
Thanks
HIS RESPONSE
"It would be 9.655 inches by 7."
MY RESPONSE (I am pulling my hair out at this point)
"OK. Great. BUT what about the run dates and the artwork deadlines? Could I have these please?"
His Response
"Run dates are 2/12........" He gave me the run dates and deadlines.
I was super happy that I finally received the run dates, but realized I forgot to ask about running that same weekend in his sister publication. After picking my head up off of the desk, I typed in the following question:
"Thank you for these. Finally, if we were to run in your other publication, what would the cost of the 8c x 7 ad in that paper be?"
HIS RESPONSE. Here is where I flipped.......
"Yes."
This is why I hate people.
