Circulation Information:
SPI has published the Texas Government Insider (TGI), a weekly e-newsletter, to rave reviews for more than five years. We currently have a distribution list of thousands and our readership includes thousands more since many associations, organizations and groups distribute the newsletter to all their members. TGI reaches multiple levels of decision-makers at every single state agency in Texas as well as executives in all of the major cities, counties, school districts, universities and community colleges in the state. We are regularly approached by statewide organizations that are interested in providing a link to TGI on their Web site and in distributing our newsletter to their membership...and we always grant this type of permission which continues to broaden our readership. The bulk of TGI subscriptions are from public sector individuals, although we also have a very loyal private sector following. If you would like to review the current issue of TGI, click here.
Rates and Specifications:
To ensure maximum marketing reach, all TGI advertisements will have a minimum three-month run. The PLATINUM advertising slot, which will run directly below SPI CEO Mary Scott Nabers' weekly column, will have a minimum six-month run. To provide space for additional company/product information, we will allow "click here" text in each ad which will take readers to your website or any specialty page that you design. You can choose to run the same ad weekly throughout this period or you can change the content of the ad once per month provided SPI receives "camera ready" ads with ample lead time.

All TGI ads should be "camera-ready" in a JPEG, GIF or PDF file.
Issuance and Advertising Closing Dates:
The Texas Government Insider is published every Friday except for the weeks of Thanksgiving and Christmas. Advertising copy closing date is two weeks prior to publication.
Editorial Discretion and Advertising Content:
SPI maintains overall editorial discretion regarding the content of all TGI ads and reserves the right to refuse advertisements which do not meet our publishing guidelines. Advertisements should not be of a political nature nor should they contain animated or moving content.
TGI Advertising Contact:
Please contact Cory von Leonrod at (512) 531-3922 or e-mail him at cleonrod@spartnerships.com if you would like to purchase TGI advertising space or if you have any questions regarding our advertising program.
OF IMPORTANCE TO NOTE:
There are a small number of ad spaces in TGI and these will be reserved on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please contact SPI as quickly as possible to be assured of being able to secure the location you prefer.
Advertising costs are subject to change but no changes will ever occur during the course of a contract. Simply put, a six month or one year contract will ensure that no advertising rate increases apply for that period of time.
