Customize and Sell for Maximum Local Impact

Every aspect of your TSS can be customized by you, beginning with the cover design. Each edition offers a second cover design option to help you stand out with an alternate title as well. Of course, you always have the option to substitute local photos for maximum customization and local impact.
Customize your TSS:
• Swap out photos
• Delete or add to articles
• Edit copyright-free text to serve as local content for advertisers
• Divide or reconfigure ad spaces to add additional sales opportunities
• Resize the complete section to suit your needs
Since Metro TSS layouts are provided in Quark and InDesign formats, you maintain complete control of your finished product. Localize your offerings any number of ways: insert local photos within the cover or for individual articles; highlight information within an article and attribute it to an advertiser. Or, for example, create a health tip from a chiropractor or a wine or beer pairing recommendation by a restauranteur or wine store owner to insert into your articles. Likewise, should your publication print a different size than the ones provided, your production staff can easily adjust page and ad sizes to suit your needs.
Self-Promotion Ads
Ensure your section’s success with collateral self-promotion materials for print, including a customizable rate card, web and social media ads and teasers.

Online Special Sections
There are matching digital components to all full-size print TSS available as an optional purchase. They are fully customizable with your own publication’s logo. Articles can be edited to add local content; and ad spaces in different sizes are ready to sell. No web design experience is necessary to complete and customize your online sections thanks to Metro’s convenient online content management system.
