Not open for further replies.
Placing an advert through the pages of MPH couldn't be easier. The best way of communicating with the Advertisement Manager is via e-mail at ads998@voc.uk.com All copy must arrive by the 14th of the month preceding publication. Please include your name, telephone number/e-mail address when submitting advertisements.

For Sale and Wanted Ads
Items for sale must be priced, and wording such as ‘Offers Over’, ‘ONO’ and ‘Offers’ are unacceptable and will therefore be removed before publication. Adverts for sealed bids or those promoting online auctions are similarly unacceptable.

Display Advertisements
CTo.

Charges: Classified and non-Members: 5p per word, plus 20 per cent VAT, cheque or PO payable to Vincent H.R.D. Owners Club with order please.

For those of you that don’t know me, I am Josh Smith and I am the Club’s Advertisement Manager. Having
taken this role on in August 2019, my first ‘official’ MPH with the advertisements I’d sorted out was in October
2019. I work behind-the-scenes, coordinating the various different adverts for Floggers Corner in MPH. This
involves contacting, by e-mail or telephone, the trade advertisers such as Conway Motors and RH Specialist
Insurance, to find out their individual requirements and what advert they wish to place in MPH on a set basis. I
have to invoice them, either annually, bi-annually, quarterly or ad hoc.
Another key part of what I do is the For Sale and Wanted advertisements that many of our Members place
every month. Upon receiving an e-mail, I insert the text into a Google Document with the other advertisements
for that month, then the next task is to edit the text so it all follows the same format as previous editions of
MPH, and this involves removing spelling/grammar errors too. In a standard month, I can expect to receive
anywhere from five up to fifteen For Sale/Wanted advertisements. After the 14th of the month, I send this
finished document to our Editor, who is coincidentally downstairs at all times so the Editor-Advertisement work
is very cohesive as we don’t have to spend hours writing e-mails to each other!
The start of December is normally the busiest time for advertisement duties. A lot of the clients require
invoicing for the year ahead, so there’s a lot of e-mailing, writing invoices and updating spreadsheets.
Keeping organised and on top of things is vital. I have two spreadsheets - one of the various advertisers
appearing in MPH every month, and another of the previous invoices I have issued. To anyone who may
become my successor in many years to come, being organised is very important.
