Business Visibility
Business visibility (long‑term placements)
Choose an ongoing monthly or yearly print placement to keep your brand in front of readers at a lower effective cost than week‑to‑week buying; monthly packages are almost 50% cheaper and you can refresh creative during the year at no extra charge. Studies show customers often need multiple touchpoints before purchasing, making steady, long‑term visibility the best value.
Event Promotion
For time‑sensitive announcements like events or sales, run a short‑term print campaign for 1–4 weeks timed to your date, and add a digital boost if needed. Short‑term ads are billed at placement, and seasonal businesses can use bulk or quarterly scheduling to secure discounts without a full year commitment.
Digital Advertising
Keep your message in front of readers between print pickups with two high‑visibility options: in‑article display that appears inside stories site‑wide, and a homepage sidebar unit for arrival‑page reach.

See deadlines & submission requirements
Deadlines: We recommend reserving your ad space as soon as possible so we can schedule you. Ad designs must be received by noon on Tuesday the week of publication.
Submission requirements: Please submit your design in the appropriate dimensions as JPEGs, PNG, or PDFs with your business name and requested publishing date in the filename. Example: yourbusiness_december2024.pdf
Design guidelines: We are a full-color publication. For best results, designs should be created in CMYK and have a resolution of 300 dpi at 100% ad size. Ads do not bleed. All final ads must be sized correctly or the design may be distorted – refer to ad sizes below. Please use 100% black (hex #000000) when designing ads. This is best for crisp text. Avoid using reversed text (white on color) or small colored text as it may not print well.
