Virginia Tech Contracts
Advertising Services
A new contract for classified/recruitment advertising has been established with Graystone Group Advertising. Graystone has been in business since 1987 and specializes in the design and placement of recruitment advertising.
The process of placing advertising through Graystone is basic. Merely send Graystone the copy via e-mail or fax. Graystone will design the advertisement and return it to the department for review, for potential corrections and revisions, and resubmit for final approvals. Nothing appears in print unless sign offs occur. Graystone transmits final ads to most major publications through a computer system called "Adsend". In-column or line ads are set by the papers. Graystone pays the media and bills the Virginia Tech department.
Graystone has negotiated rates with publications such as The Roanoke Times, Washington Post, Chronicle of Higher Education, Virginian Pilot and others. They bill only for space charges and do not charge for layouts, revisions, mechanicals or overnight delivery services.
The contract is in effect through May 16, 2010 and its use is optional.
