A note about size and placement…

We really care about giving your ad the best exposure possible. So, where it gets placed is something we handle with care.

When it comes to the front and back covers, we love to splash some colour around, so colour and term advertisers do get priority there. But, we believe in fairness, so we make sure to rotate placements throughout the publication, across the top, bottom, left, and right pages. We want to ensure that no matter where readers turn, your ad has a chance to catch their eye.

And while we don’t have a non-compete clause, we do our best to ensure businesses in the same industry aren’t competing for attention on the same page.

Full and half page ad sizes are considered oversized, and subject to available space each issue, please contact us for a quote.
