How to give Advertisements in the Newspaper?

Advertisers used to phone individual newspaper offices to explain their requirements, acquire a price, and other pertinent information like circulation, etc., to place ads in newspapers. In addition to lengthening the process, this wasted human resources that might have been used more than placing newspaper advertising.

The Media Ant was established in 2012 to remove lengthy and onerous processes from the process of placing advertisements in newspapers. An advertiser may now quickly examine the newspaper advertisement rates of numerous newspapers, compare them, and make a final reservation by visiting the Newspaper Category and using the filters or search.

  • Display Advertisements: These are the most common ads, varying in size and cost. Rates depend on the ad size, with options including Full Page, Half Page, Quarter Page, and smaller sizes.

  • Innovative Advertising: This category includes unconventional options beyond typical display and classified ads, such as Pointer ads, Ear Panels, samplings, and Newspaper Jackets. These options generally incur higher costs than standard advertising rates.
