Choosing between local and national print advertising depends on your business goals, target audience, and budget.
Both options have their advantages, so it’s important to determine which will deliver the best results for you.
Reach vs. Targeting #
- National print advertising offers broad exposure, making it ideal for businesses with a wide customer base.
However, this comes with higher costs and less precise targeting. - Local print advertising allows businesses to connect with specific communities, ensuring your message reaches the right people in the right places. You can explore our coverage areas to find the right local audience.
Cost Considerations #
- National campaigns tend to be expensive, which can be challenging for small or growing businesses.
- Local advertising is often more affordable, with flexible pricing options that accommodate different budgets. View our media pack for pricing and packages.
This makes local print a great choice for businesses looking to maximise return on investment.
Building Community Connections #
Local print advertising doesn’t just put your name in front of potential customers—
it helps build trust and community reputation.
- Many community-focused publications are well-regarded and kept for future reference, giving your ad a longer shelf life. Browse our online editions to see how ads stay relevant over time.
- Businesses that support local publications are often seen as more engaged and invested in their communities.
Making the Right Choice #
If your business serves a broad audience and you have the budget for it, national advertising might be the way to go.
However, if you want to do any of the following, then local print advertising is a smart, strategic investment.
- Target specific communities
- Build local relationships
- Control your spend
