Advertising in the Meredith and District News is a great way to promote your goods, services or event to the residents of Meredith, Elaine, Lethbridge and surrounding districts. You are also supporting a not-for-profit community newsletter that plays an important role in the district.
We can even help with design using your artwork (subject to copyright) or ours. And lodging an ad is easy. Here are the things you need to know and the things you need to share with us.
Deadline
Meredith News is published on the first Thursday of every month, except January. The deadline for submission of ads is 9.00 am on the Thursday prior, although earlier notice is appreciated, and maybe necessary if your artwork is not suitable or you need us to prepare or modify it.
Frequency
You can nominate to advertise for just one monthly issue, from and to particular months, or continue until you notify us. (You can also modify your ad whenever necessary, providing you provide us with sufficient notice – usually one week.)
Size
The Table below shows the sizes available and the respective costs. Although we normally charge on invoice, for certain high-cost ads, we may require payment prior to publication. (We are a non-profit operation and price advertising for cost recovery.)
Review Your Ad
If you have prepared artwork in electronic form, and are free to use it, that will most likely serve the purpose. Just check it will satisfactorily fit within the dimensions of the ad size you have chosen. Keep in mind, using coloured artwork for a greyscale ad will require good contrast. What is easy to read in colour, isn’t always so easy in greyscale.
If you don’t have prepared artwork, just send us the content you want to include, such as text and a logo. We will compose the ad to your instructions and send you a copy for approval. To use this service, please submit your ad at least one week before the lodgement deadline.
- We prefer image files – Jpeg or png for eg. – PDF or a Microsoft Word document.
- A scan or photograph of your ad, logo or business card, may not produce a satisfactory result.
