We offer four different types of advert opportunity within the paper:
- Run of paper – priced per column/centimetre
- Large display adverts – special rates for full and half page adverts
- Front cover adverts – high impact pre-set sized adverts
- Directory – the popular choice for local tradespeople
Run of paper
Cost per single column centimetre = £4.20
To calculate the price of your advert take the depth in centimetres by the number of columns wide by £4. Some examples are shown below:
| Sizes | Cost |
| A 5 cm x 1 col advert | £21 |
| A 6cm x 2 col advert | £50.40 |
| A 10cm x 3 col advert | £126 |
Series Discounts:
If you place adverts for more than 1 week, you can then apply the following series discounts
| Weeks | Cost |
| 2 weeks | 10% |
| 6 weeks | 20% |
| 12 weeks | 30% |
| 26 weeks | 35% |
| 52 weeks | 40% |
It is not necessary to book consecutive weeks in order to qualify for the discount. Alternate weeks, monthly or specified dates are all possible and the total number of weeks booked will dictate the discount.
