How do I sign up for ADsembly?
ADsembly requires New Users and Manufacturers to register using the "GET STARTED" link on the home page. The registration process allows you to create a user name and password.

It's as easy as bagging groceries!
What if I can't find an item I want to advertise?
ADsembly provides a feature named "MY PRODUCTS" that allows you to add your own images to your private image collection. To access this section you must first complete the usage agreement in the "MY INFO" section. To do this select the "MY INFO" tab and select the "EDIT MY INFO" link. Place a check on the "Manage My Products" box and select the "Continue" button. The usage agreement will display for your selection. Once you agree to the "MY PRODUCTS" usage agreement you will see the "MY PRODUCTS" tab to add and edit products in you very own private image collection.
How much does it cost and how do I pay for it?
It is free to sign up for ADsembly.com. Once you have established an account, you may begin creating ads. When you are finished creating an ad, have previewed and have clicked "Purchase", only then will you be billed by ADsembly.
The price per ad is only $29.95
Once you have purchased the ad, it is yours to print as many times as you'd like.
How long does it take to make an ad?
The whole process of creating a new ad should take between 10 and 30 minutes. The more products per ad, the longer it will take to create.
Can I print more than one?
Yes. After you have downloaded your flyer, sign or poster, you can print as many copies as needed, either from your own printer or at a local print center.
What type of printer do I need?
Any laser or inkjet printer that is able to accept PDF files.
What type of Internet connection and browser do I need?
It is recommended that you have a fast Internet connection. You will experience slower downloads if you are using a dialup connection.

Do I need to install software?
Yes
What version of Adobe Acrobat Reader do I need?
Most ADsembly.com users will not need to install any software. However, in order to view the final version of your flyer in PDF format, you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader. Newer computers and newer versions of web browsers come with the Reader already installed as a plug-in (a small helping program) for your web browser. If you do not have the Reader at all, or if you have a version EARLIER than "6.0", you need to download the latest version of the Acrobat Reader from the Adobe web site. While the FULL Adobe Acrobat program is costly, the Acrobat Reader is free of charge and can be easily downloaded. It is important to download the version of Adobe Acrobat that matches your operating system. You will find this free program along with installation instructions at www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2_allversions.html
How do I view a PDF?
Newer browsers should automatically recognize a link to a PDF file so that when you click on it, the Adobe Reader automatically opens the file for you. The browser will open the PDF file within the browser window itself, allowing you to print directly without downloading. You can also save the PDF to your hard drive.
Can I pick how many products I want on a page?
Yes. Each design has different item-counts in various layouts.
Can I pick the design of the ad?
Yes. There are hundreds of different designs ranging from holiday to season or department.
What if my session times out?
If you leave your computer in the middle of creating an ad, after 30 minutes of idle time, your session will time out and you will be asked to login again. The ad you were working on will be saved in your My Flyer, My Sign or My Poster list. The information will be saved as far as the last step you have completed.
Can I save an ad and go back to work on it later?
Yes. Once you have completed a step and selected "Continue" your work will automatically be saved as far as that step. If you close ADsembly.com and want to return to the ad you were working on, you must login again and click on "My Flyers", "My Signs" or "My Posters" at the top of the page. You should then see a list of your existing ads and can find the ad you want to continue building.
How do I save my finished ad and get it to a print shop?
Once you have created and purchased your ad, you must download it onto your computer (it will be a PDF file). From there you can save it to a floppy disk or burn it to a CD. Simply bring the disk or CD to a print shop, and they will open the file and print it for you. Or you may click the FedEx/Kinko's link. The FedEx/Kinko's web page will guide you through a simple process to upload your ad for printing and delivery to any location you request.
How do I enter a price for the product I want to sell?
In Step 4 for Flyers and Step 3 for Shelf Signs and Posters you will key in the price for each product. Make sure to place a $ or (¢) if you would like to display this symbol with your price.
