Budget and Planning for Newspaper Advertisements

Newspaper Advertising is still an effective medium in today’s Digital Age. Professionals believe in the advantages that only Newspaper Ads can provide. This article comprises the process of planning and budgeting that further helps in creating and placing the advertisements.

Proper planning prevents wastage of resources and diversion from the primary goals of the Organization. Planning helps in the coordination of different departments and reduces uncertainties. 

Newspaper Ad Rates

While planning a Newspaper Advertisement, try to include all these points :

  1. Research: An in-depth analysis of your existing and potential customers will tell you how to proceed. 

Their tastes and preferences, their socio-economic information shall assist in playing a big role in determining the expenses and the plan of action. 

2.Budget: It is a financial plan containing the expenses, revenue, allocation of funds over a period of time, or on a project. 

The Budget for a Newspaper Ad will be based on the popularity, circulation, and the coverage of the paper. The Ad type, size, Category of the Ad, the day of the week, the position of the Ad, Colors, or enhancements used are also the determinants. 

The amount of money spent on advertising is another form of money spent to create brand awareness and increase sales.

Budget allocations must be meticulously planned.

3.Objectives: Know the basic objectives of the Organisation in placing the Ad. Advertising will change according to the stage of the product.

The complete setup of the Ad will be separate for separate Categories. A Matrimonial Ad will be advertised differently from Employment and Business Ads.

What Factors Affect Newspaper Ad Rates?

Newspaper advertisement is the oldest way of advertising and considered to be more authentic among the advertisers. Though the internet has bloomed widely among the new and mid-age generation, still now 70% of Indian population prefers newspaper advertisements.Newspaper is the first choice for the 50 plus or older generation and semi educated class who are not so exposed to social media and internet.

When you think of booking an advertisement, what are the thoughts which come to your mind? For me, its how to book it and what the cost of an advertisement is. For the first question there is an instant one stop answer named releaseMyAd which is the number one advertisement booking portal in India. You can book any advertisement like matrimonial, recruitment, business property, personal in any of your preferred newspapers all over India by our online booking service. releaseMyAd provides online chat service which anyone can avail for any booking related assistance by visiting their website. Moreover, we have our customer care executives, from whom you can always get assistance regarding designing the ad matter, selecting the proper newspaper and the release date. Also, they can help you out if you are stuck in the payment process.

releaseMyAd provides ad rates which are best in the industry. Though there are some factors that affect newspaper ad cost.Here I am trying to discuss some of them:

  1. Ad Size: One of the obvious factors which affect most in ad cost is the size of your ad. When you look at a paper, you will see it is divided into columns. Your newspaper ads are sized according to a very set formula: a certain number of columns wide and a certain number of centimetres long. Multiplying the two numbers together will give you the number of “column centimetre” of your ad, which determines the ad’s cost. 

If it is a normal classified text ad which runs in standard text format. It will be charged by either character, word or lines. If it is classified display then it will be charged on the basis of per sqcm. Cost will be a little higher  because it is more visually appealing than classified text ads. Here one can add a customized font, logo or image to make the ad visually more effective for the target readers. Display ads are the most extravagant form of advertising in newspapers. It is also charged per sqcm. Display ads can be published on any page and can occupy any amount of space in a specific newspaper.

  1. Insertion: Ad cost depends on another factor which is insertion, i.e; how many times you want to publish your ad in the paper which resembles frequency of your advertisement. It is always not necessary that an one-time published ad will be more cost effective than a multiple insertion ad because releaseMyAd provides an enormous number of packages, discounts and offers depending on the terms and condition of the ad booking.
  2. Enhancements: Applying  enhancements in your advertisement will cost you little extra though it is the best possible way to grab readers attention towards a particular ad. There are various kinds of enhancements applicable in various newspapers like Color, image, logo, language translation, bold, underline etc. These enhancements have a way of popping and drawing the reader’s eye to the advertisement, so you usually get what you pay for.
  3. Page preference: It is actually applicable in case of display ads. It goes without saying that the first page ad will be costliest than an ad published in any other page. There are different sizes in respect of page, i.e; Full page, half page, quarter page etc.
  4. Circulation: Circulation is a count of how many copies of a particular publication are distributed. Circulation is one of the principal factors used to set advertising rates.

For example, The Audit Bureau of Circulations shows that the largest read local language newspapers are Dainik Bhaskar (with 4.320 million readers) and Dainik Jagran (with 3.410 million readers), both published in Hindi. The Times of India is the most widely read English language newspaper ( 3.029 million), followed by Malayala Manorama (2.370 million), published in malayalam. Anandabazar Patrika is a Bengali language newspaper with a circulation rate of 1.075 million. 

  1. Edition: In a particular newspaper ad rate can vary according to edition, i.e; geographic area or place.For example Property ad in Times of India, Delhi will cost more than Times of India, Agra Edition.
  2. Readership: Readership is an estimate of how many readers a publication has. The more readership a newspaper has, the cost of advertising in the same will be higher. Anandabazar Patrika which is the leading Bengali language vernacular in West Bengal has a very high readership and circulation and therefore, publishing an ad in any column of Anandabazar Patrika is much higher than other Bengali newspapers of the region.
  3. Category: Newspaper ad rate depends on another very important factor i,e; category.Different rates are applicable for  different categories like Matrimony, recruitment, business, property, personal etc.

Still our elders and even the younger generation lean on newspapers because it has an emotional connection and a sense of authenticity. Still at the age of social media flowering, most people consider newspapers the most genuine source of news.So when an advertisement of a certain product or service is published to one’s favorite newspaper then it’s the mind and heart more effectively. Here I am trying to discuss why still now love and depend on newspaper advertisements.

  • When it comes to cost effectiveness, newspapers are the best medium of advertising. It is easy for people from any financial background to afford to publish an advertisement in a newspaper if necessary. Its low booking cost and easy Classified text ads can get published on paying less than 100 rs also. So it is a big advantage and one of the reasons why we love newspaper advertisement so much.
  • Newspapers have still now holding its place in the advertising business despite its new competition, digital media.  The very important reason behind it is its shelf life. Shelf life is the length of time for which an item remains usable. For example,  If you skip an advertisement in Facebook while scrolling your newsfeed, there is a very less chance that you can revive that later. But if you want to see or refer anything to someone after a few days that particular you can easily mention the newspaper name and page number in order to get the access. 
  • Publishing advertisements category wise  helps to get the proper response because readers can easily open that particular section and see the ad without wasting much time. eg, make sure that if you are running a beauty parlour and want to publish an ad for its promotion then your ad must be published under the ‘service’ category instead of ‘business’. Otherwise it can create confusion among the readers or consumers regarding the call of action.This also harm the image of the newspaper. releaseMyAd has all the leading dailies of India listed under its portal and there are guidelines for choosing the category as well. So without wasting time visit our page for an effective newspaper ad-  https://www.releasemyad.com/newspaper-advertisement
  • For legal purposes such as a name change or court notice. Newspaper advertisements are a must. In case of name change it is mandatory to publish the announcement in a English and Hindi newspaper. No other medium can get the job done in the case of legal affairs. 
  • Newspapers are more trustworthy to the readers than other Advertising platforms. For people searching for a life partner, newspapers are still the most popular medium to advertise. Because people think it is more genuine than other dating apps or matrimonial portals.
  • People don’t need to be digitally literate to read a newspaper, anyone who doesn’t have access to the internet or other media like Television or radio may get the message given by the advertisement in the newspaper. Buying rate of newspaper is very legitimate which leads to another big advantage of this medium which is affordability. Affordability makes it a good option to target people living in remote areas where other forms of media have not yet reached. 
  • The oldest and traditional medium of advertising is not stuck in a time frame, with the emergence of the internet it has its e-paper version now which is very popular among youngsters which gives the digital experience anytime anywhere.  
  • Lastly, clients can avail different ad booking formats like classified text, classified display and display according to their necessity and budget. Display ads are perfect for retail/branding, public announcements, tender, public notice, education admission notice etc. For personal requirements such as matrimony, selling property, selling automobiles, or change of name, newspaper classified ads are more suited.
