Marketing
When you want your message to reach a specific population or when you want to promote a specific event or program, we can help. Please contact Rhonda Schaefer about help in developing a marketing plan, what's your goal, who you want to reach, how you will communicate with them and what you want to say, what you want them to do, what your timeline is, etc.

Printing and Publications Development
Departmental brochures are designed in a standard format to all look like they come from the same institution. Information included in departmental brochures includes philosophy, description of the basic program, listing of required courses, contact phone number, and 3-4 photos. We can help you put copy together, but we will rely on you to provide the "meat" of the narrative in the brochure. We can shoot photos for you or you can check our files for high quality, appropriate images. These brochures are printed in two colors -- black and another color, which you may choose -- so they are printed off campus. Cost for 1,000 is approximately $400 or less.
Recruitment brochures can be more elaborate and some people may want to produce color pieces. There are other options besides a four-color project, however, and we can help you brainstorm some ideas.

Communicator, Staff Notes and Weekly News Clips
Staff Notes is an internal publication so we are more apt to include "family" type news there. It is produced monthly. Please submit items to Rhonda Schaefer, ext. 3087 or SchaeferR@sanjuancollege.edu.
Communicator is an external newsletter with 20,000+ distribution and is inserted into the Farmington Daily Times. News included must appeal to the general public and should be focused on the future -- upcoming events, new programs, etc. -- instead of recaps of past news. Deadline is the 10th of the month prior to distribution. Communicator is produced semi-monthly with issues in January/February, March/April, May/June, July/August, September/October and November/December. If you would like to submit news, e-mail SchaeferR@sanjuancollege.edu.
Weekly News Clips is a weekly e-mail newsletter that is designed to keep employees updated on the various news on campus job openings, events, new employees, construction updates, strategic planning and other timely topics. Clips is sent out every Friday morning via e-mail. If you would like to submit news, e-mail SchaeferR@sanjuancollege.edu.

Business Cards and Letterhead

This job form will be emailed directly to the Office of Public Relations so we may begin work on your project as soon as possible.

- Name as you want it to appear on the card, including suffixes (Ph.D., Ed.D., C-NP, CFRE, etc.)
- Official title. Please don't make up a title or what you want to be called; we must be consistent in using only your official College title, and we do check these things.
- Your phone number, which is 566-3 + your extension.
- Address, if you would like to receive mail other than at the College address.
- E-mail address, which is assigned by Office of Technology Services.
- Fax number if you have your own fax. Otherwise, use the College's fax number of 566-3385.
Cost for 1,000 business cards is about $68, 500 for $45, and 250 for $35.
If you just need a supply of the standard letterhead and envelopes, you may purchase those in the Bookstore. Cost is $30.20 for a ream (500) of letterhead, $60.95 for a ream of matching envelopes. Half sheets of stationary can be purchased for $21.12 for 250 sheets, half sheet envelopes are $56.82 for 250.

Photography
The Public Relations Office is available to take photographs of your event or program. If you require professional photography for a special brochure or event, we can arrange that for you as well. You will be responsible for paying for the services of a professional photographer, which runs about $50 an hour. We are free, however.
If you want to use a photograph to illustrate a printed brochure or promotional piece, we have an extensive collection of slides and digital photos.
If we don't have what you want, we can arrange to have a special photograph taken.
This job form will be emailed directly to the Office of Public Relations so we may begin work on your project as soon as possible.

Tabletop Display
Please complete the form below to reserve the tabletop display as soon as you know when you will need it. We keep a calendar and sometimes book several months in advance.
If you are unfamiliar with how to set up the display, we will demonstrate that for you in the office prior to the time you will need the display.
Photographs are available for use with the display. They are mounted on foamcore and have Velcro stickers on the back so they will stick to the display. We also have a variety of promotional material you can take with you to distribute.
