Email Promotion Guidelines 

Once you have submitted your request for a promotional email announcement, please follow this process:

1)  Send your promotional content to Pam Hower, at [email protected].

2)  Required format: One page flyer, mix of words, logos, and pictures if desired, ready to drop in.

  • .gif or .png format is needed. File needs to be no bigger than 350KB.  800 pixels wide or less, font size 14 or larger and darker font colors are optimal for viewers to read the email.
  • Content suggestions: Course description, instructor bio, location, cost, contact information.
  • If your flyer has a smaller font and a lot of details, please create a more succinct description for the e-blast communication.  The editor can then create a link in the e-blast promotion to your more detailed document file, or the editor can provide a direct link to your website for more specific course details.

3)  Upon receipt of the content and confirmation of payment, the editor will create the email within one week. A test copy will then be sent to you to be approved.

Once approved, the e-blast promotion will be sent to the membership. 

The BCTA/NA Board of Directors reserves the right to determine if the email content is relevant to our membership.
