We don’t give any discounts for advertising, but maintain the low advertising rates, which give even the smallest of businesses or budgets the opportunity to advertise. We do offer Agency discount.
We can produce advertisement artwork for you using any logos, images and copy that you supply, within the cost of insertion. If you are unsure about what size or what to put into your advertisement, we would be more than happy to create something for you.
Of course. Please check the dimensions of the advertisement with us, but otherwise we accept artwork as a jpg, tif, pdf or eps. Don’t forget advertising will be in mono.
We do ask all new advertisers to pre-pay for their first advert. Regular and subsequent advertising is invoiced on the publication date, when an invoice is sent to you with 14 days to pay. You will be asked to fill in and sign an agreement form when you first advertise, so we can add your details to our accounting system. A Direct Debit scheme is available for regular advertisers.
We do our best to accommodate advertiser’s requirements, but cannot always guarantee specific pages. Regular features run in every issue may offer advertisers with specific businesses a more appropriate location within the magazine.
We do offer new advertisers and businesses some free editorial to support their first advertisement and to provide readers with more information that would appear in an advertisement. Around 200-250 words is acceptable. As The Herald relies on paid advertising, we cannot guarantee editorial space for all advertisers and reserve the right to refuse submitted copy. Editorial should always be newsworthy. Click here to see our Editorial Deadlines.
