Where will the ads be placed within the publication (e.g., front page, section pages, back cover)

We understand the importance of strategic ad placements. Unless otherwise agreed, ads are placed where we see the best fit, and alongside content which best suits the advertisement. If you require a special position, please contact us.

Do you provide metrics or analytics on ad performance?

As a new publication, we are currently gathering this data. We track all interactions with our digital magazine. You can also track the clicks yourself if you are using analytics software on your website, as well as QR codes in print.

If you're looking for performance data from your print ad, we recommend including a unique URL or QR code within your ad so you can track the number of clicks/visits when it is visited or scanned. This will help you determine your unique ROI. We can provide more details and help you set this up.

As a small magazine with limited ads, we anticipate a high ad engagement rate. To calculate your cost per exposure, simply divide your ad price by our circulation number in our most recent media pack. This will give you a clear understanding of your cost per exposure. You'll find this to be excellent value when compared to the likes of search engine or social advertising.

If you need help tracking your ad performance or have any questions, please contact us.
