Six places to be seen
Each one is shown as readers see it, label and all. Rates go to the early list first.
-
Newsletter · Primary
The top spot
Right after the weather. A headline, two lines and a link. One sponsor per email.
-
Newsletter · Secondary
The mid-letter note
A short text block halfway down, between the picks. Words only, about 40 of them.
-
Native · In-line
One of the list
Your event sits in the weekend list in our usual style, with the label underneath. Event sponsors only.
-
Classified · One-liner
A small notice
One bold line and one plain one, near the end of the Thursday letter. Good for lessons, services and seats.
-
Website · Featured event
Top of the day
Your event pinned to the top of its day on the events board. Runs 7 or 30 days.
-
Neighbourhood · Presenting
Your patch, your name
One local business presents a neighbourhood page for a month. Your name sits under the title.
Bookings opening soon
Get on the early list
Ad sales are paused while we grow the list. Tell us a little about your business and we will write when the calendar opens, with dates and rates before anyone else. One email, then nothing until it matters.
Our rules
- Sponsors are always labelled. Every paid spot says "Sponsored" or "Presented by", in plain sight.
- Nobody can pay to be in the picks. Our picks are ours, and they stay that way.
- No crime or politics ads. We keep the board calm for everyone.
