Has anyone out there had any problems with the ad generator. When I try to accept and choose submit, nothing happens, but the cancel button works just fine. I even tried turning the pop-up blocker off and on, but nothing....
 
Mine seems to be working fine, I wonder what's wrong, maybe reboot your computer??
 
You might even try clearing your cookies and temp internet files - That sometimes helps.
 
Merill's website does that sort of thing to me all the time. Whenever I try to order there, I can go through the whole process, but when I go to check out the submit button won't work. I have no clue why though, I usually get frustrated and decide not to order from them.
 
Has anyone who has tried the ad generator know if there is a way to see a sample of the ads they offer before you pay the fee for it? I want to renew my ad in my church bulletin, but I want to see what their ads look like before I decide if I want to use it. But the only thing I can find is the link to purchase it.

I was hoping to see the ads before subsribing, too - but no such luck. So...I was feeling rather wealthy last week and splurged the $2.99 (for those of you who know me personally, you KNOW how frugal I am - LOL). If you give me your email I'd be happy to email you the samples of my ads.
 
Thanks ladies! I just pm'd you!
 
I just emailed them to you bhut the email bounced back saying you couldn't accept attachemnts :(

That is SO funny because I am the SAME WAY!! That $2.99 might just about break me or something! It's the cheapest durn thing you can buy from our approved vendors!
 
I was so excited by the price... I always find myself making my dream shopping cart online at Merrill and when ad generator came out, I saved me much money, as I could "play" and make things for an entire month for only $2.99!
 
They also don't automatically renew the subscription, so you can get it for a month, make a bunch of ads, and then only renew when the pics in the gallery change.
 
Leah, I got the e-mails you sent, thanks!!

I just have one question... both of the samples that Leah sent me are full page ads. Are there options to change the size and layout of the ads, or are they all that size?
 
Double-check the page size - most are little. Some are 3.5 x 5.5, some are 5.5 x 8.5, etc.
There are set templates. All we can pick is picture, some of the text, and some of the personalization.

If you wanting it for a newspaper just up load your ad to a flash drive and let your local newspaper do the shrinking that is what I do.. I found that the vierson of Adobe Reader will not let me change anything on the actual flyer it's self
 
I'm a newbie! How does the ad generator work?!
 
You pay your $2.99 (or whatever it is), then you can use it to create ads. You're limited to 1 of each type per "order." After submitting the order, the ads will be available for download after about 15 minutes. You download and save them, and can send them to papers, etc. to advertise your business.
