Everything you need to know about booking, writing, and releasing successful business advertisements.
What owners ask before placing a proposal, franchisee or dealership ad.
Print. You book it online in minutes, but the ad appears in the printed newspaper — in the business classifieds column of the paper and edition you choose. If what you want is online marketing, this is not that page. What this books is a business proposal, franchisee, dealership or business-for-sale classified in the paper.
Classified text is charged per line, so a tight proposal is the cheapest option — the rate finder above shows the real figure for your paper and edition before you share anything, at official rates with a lowest-price guarantee. Classified display, which carries your logo, a border and colour, is charged per sq.cm. Both are per insertion, plus 5% GST.
Keep it to what an investor needs to decide whether to call: what the business or brand is, what you are offering — franchise, dealership, distributorship, agency or an outright sale — the territory or city, the investment or area required, and how to reach you. Send it in any order and we set it in the paper's format and show a proof before it prints.
A classified runs only in the editions you choose, and each covers specific districts, not a whole state. For a dealership or territory offer that is the point — you want the districts you are appointing for, not a national buy. Tell us the territory and we confirm which editions cover it before you pay.
Weekend editions carry the heaviest classified readership, and several papers run their business or opportunities column on a fixed day. Weekday insertions cost the same per line. Because this is a low-volume, high-intent ad, two or three insertions usually work better than one — we will tell you which days that paper carries the column.
Most papers have a same-day or next-morning cut-off — book before the cut-off and it runs the next day. Weekend pages book out earlier, so give yourself a day's margin. We confirm the exact cut-off for your paper and edition before you pay.
Yes — free. Send the offer in any language and we draft the matter, trim it to the paper's line limit, translate it into the paper's language — Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Marathi and more — and show you a proof before it prints.
After publication you can view your ad in that paper's e-paper for the published date and edition, or buy a local copy of that edition. You also get a GST invoice for the booking, in your company's name if you need one.
