ADVERTISE WITH SCENIC NEWS

You can choose from several different display ad's and each one can be upgraded with additional online advertisment packages

ADVERTS OVERVIEW

We know that not everyone’s advertising needs are the same. Yet, everyone’s individual advertising needs – from the smallest to the biggest ad – is equally important in the mind of the advertiser. And it is important to us to know that we are able to offer an option to suit the various needs of our advertisers. That’s why we offer a range of sizes and page placements.

At the bottom end of our advertising spectrum are our classifieds, selling from as little as $12 and up to $30. Next is our Business Directory ads, covering sizes from 3cm deep to 9cm deep. Moving on to our display ads, we have a comprehensive range of sizes from a twelfth of a page right through to a full page. 


Cover ads include full page inside front and back pages; as well as front cover third page. But that’s not the end of the story – our special map pages offer a choice of standard and custom adverts for those advertisers who wish to be highlighted on the adjoining map.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Why should I advertise in the Scenic News?

    The Scenic News (Tamborine Mountain News) has been published continuously since 1958, and is arguably the best read local paper across Tamborine Mountain and surrounding areas.


    We print 7100 copies every edition. These are distributed to some 4,000 homes on Tamborine Mountain, and to homes in Canungra, Tamborine, Clagiraba, Wongawallan and Boyland.


    Bulk drops to businesses in all areas (as far as Beaudesert) ensure high visibility and recognition.

  • What kind of ads can I have?

    We have 3 basic forms of ads in the print version of the paper:

    • Display ads – from full page ads down to 1/12 page – artwork in full colour, with photos/logos text etc
    • Business directory ads – at the back of the paper, categorised according to business type – sizes from 3cm deep x 6cm wide up to 9cm deep by 6cm wide
    • Classified (or line) ads – words only, with bold header – typically 15-20 words
  • How do I pay?
    • Ads are paid for on placement of the ad, by credit card. You will be issued an invoice/statement when the ad appears in print in the following issue.
    • Business directory ads are billed on a 13-issue cycle (roughly 3 months), in advance.
    • Unless you notify us by email before the end of the billing cycle, your business directory ad will be automatically rolled over for another cycle, and you will be billed for another 13 issues.
    • Map directory ads are billed in 13 week blocks.
    • Classified ads are billed in advance according to how many times the ad is to be placed. You need to let us know whether to run your ad once or several times (e.g. 3 times). We have permanent classifieds (running every week) at a special rate – please enquire.
  • Who does the artwork?

    You can provide us with ready-to-print artwork (please confirm exact sizes first, so that your graphic artist produces something we can print without amendments) – or we can do the artwork for you. Costs will vary, so please call us to enquire.

  • Can I change my directory ad after it has started to run?

    Yes, we can amend business directory ads for you – if contact details or business details have changed, just let us know.


    If you are running a display ad more than once, and you need changes, please notify us as soon as possible so that we have time to amend your artwork in time for the next issue.

  • Can I specify where I want my ad to run?

    We try and place everyone’s ad to best advantage: we cannot guarantee your ad in any particular spot, unless it’s specifically a cover page ad (front 1/3, rear cover or inside front cover). Competition (and pre-bookings) for these spots is very keen, so please call early to see if spots are available.


    Business directory ads are placed alphabetically according to the category of your business or service. We are able to create a category for you if there is not an existing one.
