Advertisers may find it useful to know that we have a circulation of approximately 2,100. The Newsletter is sold at 13 or so outlets around Kinross-shire. We are almost monthly (we produce a joint January/February issue, thus making eleven issues per year). We publish around the start of a calendar month. Official publication date is always a Saturday, so sometimes it will be slightly before or after the first of a month. The Jan/Feb issue differs from the usual pattern: it is usually published around the third week of January. Deadlines and publication dates can be found on our website.
It is Newsletter policy to restrict advertising to businesses in a specific geographical area. This area consists of the county of Kinross-shire plus a certain radius from our sales outlets. Please contact our Advertising Manager for further details. Adverts from outwith this area which appear in the Newsletter belong to businesses which advertised in the Newsletter before this policy was introduced.
The Newsletter reserves the right to amend or refuse any Advertisement.
Display Adverts
Display adverts may contain graphics, logos etc and should be supplied by the advertiser (or their agent) to the Newsletter Advertising Manager in electronic format, preferably JPEG, but a PDF file is also acceptable.
Display adverts can be placed in the following sizes:
width
height
eighth page
90 mm
60 mm
quarter page
90 mm
130 mm
half page
185 mm
130 mm
Please note, the Newsletter does not design adverts. Businesses wishing to place a display advert in the Newsletter must design their own advert or commission a designer to do this for them. The costs of advertising listed on these pages are insertion costs only. Businesses must meet their own design costs. (If you need a designer, two local ones are: Cree8, tel 01577 863186 and Ineke Watt, tel 01577 830345).
Six-monthly billing
Most of the display adverts in the Newsletter are placed for at least six months at a time. For invoicing purposes our advertising blocks run from April to September (six issues) and October to March (five issues, as we have a joint Jan/Feb issue).
Prices for advertisers who place an advert for six months at a time are:
Standard page (b & w)
Inside covers (colour)
Back page (colour)
eighth page
£12.00 per issue
£25.00 per issue
£37.00 per issue
quarter page
£25.00 per issue
£50.00 per issue
£75.00 per issue
half page
£50.00 per issue
£100.00 per issue
£150.00 per issue
Advertisers are invoiced shortly after the first issue in an advertising block. There is a 10% discount if payment is made within one month. Any advertiser who does not pay their invoice within two months risks having their advert withdrawn.
Please note:
Half pages are not currently available to new advertisers for six-month runs.
Colour adverts are only available if a current colour advert is withdrawn; there is a waiting list for these slots.
Changes to Display Adverts
Advertisers who have committed to placing an advert for a six-month run may change their advert during the six months if they wish. Simply provide a fresh version of your advert (JPG or PDF). If an advertiser wishes the new version of their advert to be in a particular issue of the Newsletter, the replacement advert must be supplied at least 3 days before the normal copy deadline for that issue.
"One-off" Display Adverts
It is now possible to place a Display Advert on a "one-off" basis, rather than for a six-month run. Adverts placed on this basis (i.e. for less than 6 months) will be charged as follows:
Standard b & w internal page
eighth page
£25.00 per issue
quarter page
£50.00 per issue
half page
£100.00 per issue
"One-off" Display Adverts should be submitted to the Newsletter Advertising Manager at least 3 days before the normal copy deadline for the issue in which the advert is to be placed.
Typed Adverts
These are simple adverts which may be placed for one or more months. They contain text only (no graphics allowed). There are two rates:
Up to NINE lines (including blank lines)
£7.00 per insertion
TEN to FIFTEEN lines (including blank lines)
£11.00 per insertion
As a guide, approximately eight words is the maximum that can be fitted on a line.
To place a Typed Advert, you need to provide the following:
Your full name and address details and a telephone number.
Your e-mail address (optional).
The wording of your advert.
A note of the number of insertions required.
Your remittance: cheques payable to "Kinross Newsletter Ltd".
Send all the above to our Advertising Manager, Ann Harley, by the normal monthly Newsletter deadline.
The Newsletter reserves the right to vary the physical size of these adverts from issue to issue according to the space available.
If you wish to place a Typed Advert on a permanent or semi-permanent basis, contact our Advertising Manager to see if you can go on to our billing list.
