Business Service Ads
Business Service Ads are small display ads that are part of a special Business Service section of the classified pages. They must be placed for at least 4 weeks at a time and can only be 1 col. by 1 inch, 1 col. by 2 inch, or 2 col. by 1 inch in size. Rate per week for 1 week of just newspapers is $7.43, 1 week of total market coverage when published is $11.95.
Display Ads
Display ads are the large “boxed” ads seen throughout the paper. Four times a year we have a total market circular with our newspaper, which we call the Total Market Coverage. In 2025 those dates will be February 17, May 26, September 1 and November 24. All advertisers in the issue of the Total Market Coverage will be charged that rate.
For local advertisers (please note advertising agencies do not qualify for these rates):
- Newspaper – one issue – $8.40 per column inch.
- Total Market Coverage Monday – $13.50 per column inch.

Adding Color to Ads
A single color is used to accent a few pages in each issue. The color is chosen by the newspaper, and usually is red or blue. Other colors are available for an additional fee. Full color is also available for each issue of the paper. Advertisers can have their ads accented with this additional color or request full color for an additional cost. Please contact the office about rates for color. Full color starts at $40, spot color for ads starts at $10.
Special Sections
We run special sections, which feature a theme periodically. These are pull out sections with advertising and related articles and they run when we put out our Full Market Coverage. Please contact the office for themes and rates for these sections. We welcome suggestions for additional section topics.
