Newspaper display advertising

Newspaper display advertising

Newspaper display advertising is a form of newspaper advertisement - where the advertisement appears alongside regular editorial content. Display ads are generally used by businesses and corporations towards promotion of their goods and services and are generally for larger budget clients.

Newspaper display ads are different than the regular "display ads" terminology, which is commonly referred to as advertisements placed on the internet in banner and other rich media format.

These ads can span across multiple columns - and can even cover full page, half page, quarter page or other custom sizes. They are designed in high resolution coloured and black/white formats providing higher visibility for the mass audiences of newspapers. For many major newspapers in developing markets, display ads play a significant role in subsidizing the cost of the published newspaper.

Process

An ad agency maintains the contact with the newspaper and provides the requisite rates and access to publications.

For someone wanting to release a newspaper ad, he needs to ensure his budget is appropriate, after which he needs to research information for local ad agencies to help him decide and publish his advertisement.

Newspaper advertising is the most common type of advertising in India. Contrary to popular conceptions, print or newspaper classified or display advertising is still way ahead of advertising in new media such as internet and mobile. A major reason behind the popularity of classified advertising can be credited to newspaper booking agents. These booking agents formed the bridge between newspaper publication houses and potential classified / display ad bookers. Traditionally these agents were local mom-and-pop stores, for whom accepting classifieds served as supplemental income. With the advent of the Internet, there has been an emergence of online classified booking agents - which accept newspaper ad bookings from the internet which are eventually published in print. These have served as an efficient bridge between this online-offline divide existing among the Indian poppulation. A leading service which first addressed this issue was started in India by releaseMyAd.
