Victoria MN Newspaper-To Advertise

Display ads in the paper edition of the Victoria Gazette are charged at the rate of $5 per column inch. A full page ad is four columns (10”) wide and 15” high. There is no price reduction for running more than one ad in an issue nor for running an ad on a regular monthly basis because the $5.00 price can’t be beat as it is. There are sometimes extra charges for photos ($5 to $10 each when they have to be separately retrieved) and for ad layout and design ($5 to $50). Smallest display ad available is 5” wide x 2” high ad space at $20. The only color option available is black and white. Camera ready pdf’s and high resolution jpg’s work great. Average monthly deadline is the 22nd of each month for printing and mailing near the 1st of the month.

Smallest ad space (5” wide x 2” high): $20

No inserts. A full page ad is better than an insert. In the opinion of the Gazette, an insert is like a pop-up ad that you want to avoid.
