Design Service
Preparing great artwork is hard. But don’t stress. We have our own in-house professional design team that can work with you to produce artwork if required.
Imagery
Great imagery is essential to any campaign and we are happy to take local photos and can create artwork from your notes or a website or Facebook page. All this comes as standard with our usual advertising deals!
Deadline
Deadline for all advertising is Friday afternoon prior to Tuesday print day.
Urgency
While, normal layout costs are included in our advertising rates, we ask you to understand that we are a deadline-driven newspaper, and not a high-end advertising “agency”. Proofs are not for design experimentation; they are intended for information checking. Additional proofs or rebuilds may be subject to extra charges, after two proofs.
