Monthly Editorial Package
Every month Metro creates, distributes and posts a complete editorial package to help you save time, save money and make money with both print and online special sections, niche publications and specialty pages and projects. Included in each editorial package are dynamic, timely and copyright-free editorial features written by seasoned journalists. Features are presented within themed supplements that relate to one or more of the key selling topics of the month, plus general-interest features which coincide with the month's events, holidays and season. All Metro editorial material is fully coordinated with the images, ads, covers and idea concepts developed specifically for the month within our family of creative services in the Libraries of MetroCreativeConnection (MCC). The combination of editorial, creative and ad elements is an inspirational, indispensable resource unlike any other, from which publications can immediately benefit for creating both print and online products that lead directly to a sustainable revenue stream.
Themed Sections
Each section is carefully planned to target the most successful time of year for that theme. Filled with reader-interest, topically-appropriate articles illustrated by photos, each theme gives you a base on which to plan, build, produce or complete your moneymaking sections in no time and at no cost.
Timely Features
This material lives up to its name with informative and entertaining editorial features that coincide with monthly and seasonal promotions, making these stories timely indeed! Find these features at the beginning of each month's printed editorial package book. Online, search for specific features by selecting Timely Features from the Edition pull-down menu, or search by Category and/or keyword.
Bonus Editorial Weekly Features
Metro service subscribers have exclusive access to: Weekly Kids' Corner games and puzzles; Prime Cuts recipes; Horoscopes; Word finds; Crossword puzzles; and daily Sudoku puzzles. They present great opportunities for selling ongoing sponsorships and tie-ins, and can even eliminate the need to purchase some syndicated items. Bonus color versions are also available.
Promotional Material
To finish the process, full-color, eye-catching cover designs and promotional ads -- aimed at both readers and potential advertisers -- are available with related images to Metro subscribers to assist promotional efforts while offering creative options for completing supplement covers and online pages.
Delivery
All Metro editorial material is presented in the MCC Editorial Library. Search for features in whatever method you prefer -- by Edition/Theme or Category, with or without relevant keywords -- then preview and download just what you need from MCC's user-friendly environment.
Each feature is provided in the ASCII text format to allow you full control over column width, font and point size. Photos and images that accompany each article are included and ready to place in popular layout and design software. Full color photos are available in 300 dpi JPEG format.
All monthly package features are printed in a convenient, full-color 8 1/2 x 11 booklet for planning and sales, and to use as a guide for retrieving the online files.
