Advertisements accepted for placement in Natural Life magazine or on
this website should address a highly intelligent audience and must
adhere to the following guidelines:
1. Advertisements will not be accepted for cigarettes of any kind,
nuclear power, guns, household or agricultural chemicals, biotechnology,
baby bottles, infant formula, infant pacifiers, non-organic baby food,
disposable diapers, most pharmaceuticals or any other products that are
deemed not to be healthy, or environmentally or socially responsible,
are illegal or could subject the magazine to liability. Educational
products or services must encourage independent learning and should not
attract buyers by promoting anxiety or purposefully making parents or
learners feel inadequate about academic standards or educational
advancement. Materials or services that are based on a particular
religious philosophy or perspective should specify that clearly.
Natural
Life supports the World Health Organization’s International Code of
Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes.
2. Advertisements must avoid misleading claims and hyperbolic descriptions.
The Publisher may, at his discretion, ask that all claims be proven to his
satisfaction. Mention of third party endorsements or awards in your advertising
is subject to Publisher approval.
3. Advertorials are not accepted. We do not publish articles to promote
companies, products, or brands. Under no conditions will acceptance or
placement of advertising be contingent upon the publication of an article.
Natural Life does not accept gifts of product, or free/reduced-rate travel,
entertainment or lodging from advertisers.
4. All advertising must be clearly different in style from editorial, or it
will be marked "Advertisement" at the Publisher's discretion. Advertising should
in no way suggest that a product or service has the endorsement of
Natural Life
or its editorial department.
5. Positioning of advertising is not guaranteed except for covers. Generally,
larger ads are positioned near the front of the
magazine; smaller ads are positioned near the back. Full-page text ads or ads
with clip-out coupons are not accepted.
6. Advertisers are expected to guarantee their products and services.
7. All advertising must be prepaid by the advertising deadline or the ad will
not run.
8. Ads from network marketing or multi-level companies will be scrutinized
for credibility. Business opportunity ads will only be accepted from companies
that do not charge for information about the opportunity and that do not make
unrealistic claims about the potential remuneration or products "selling
themselves." We will not guarantee exclusivity. When a website link is involved,
the advertiser's website must provide sufficient detail about the product to be
sold.
9. Ads should be of the highest graphic quality possible (in one of the
formats specified on our rate card) and be proofread so as not to contain
typographical or grammar errors.
