Features and Specs:

• All headings in the core directory will be available in the companion directory.

• All ad sizes must be the same as placed in the core directory.

• Verizon will reduce the yellow page ad from the core directory, so it is not necessary to send original art for art-related items in the companion directory.

Please include a note on the artwork transmittal that states “USE ART ON FILE.”) 

 

Important Information Related to SRLs:

SRLs are automatically copied into the Companion directory from the Core directory. If an SRL appears in the core directory, it will also appear in the companion directory. It is not necessary for CMRs to place SRLs on the Companion order. This applies to all Companion directories.

 

Important Information Related to Display Advertising:

Since the CMRs will be unable to transmit orders until the directory resides in Elite, Verizon will accept faxed orders for display advertising.  The date the order is faxed will serve as the Sales Date for placement purposes.
