Black & White Run of Paper ads – $4.5 per column inch, this is the best bang for your buck for advertising. Basically, these ads fill the small holes left in a paper when we put stories in. If no holes exist, your ad will be run as a normal display ad for no additional cost. Adding color increases ad price to $5.5 per column inch.

Augusta Breeze provides simple ad production services, we will produce your mainly text ad for free, you will be sent a proof, and you will have up to 3 revisions. If you have particular colors that you require, you must supply Pantone® color codes, or PRINTED samples of the colors so we can color match. Photoshop work beyond basic resizing, and more advanced work, or if your ad requires special handling, and you will be billed on an hourly basis. We are happy to work with your designer to insert your prepared ad at no additional cost. Free production ads may not be used for any other purpose, format, or service without the express written permission of The Augusta Breeze. As of February 2023, our design rate is $20/hr and we reserve the right to not take new jobs, as it is not our business focus.
Large format ads (greater than 1/4 page) that are on program may be required to skip an issue if we are out of inventory. Full price/prepaid ads have priority.
Note on our billing. Invoices for non-prepaid ads go out the first Monday of the month, or the 5th, whichever is first. Those invoices are due upon receipt, and any invoices not paid the following Tuesday (or the 12th, which ever is first) are delinquent. Delinquent accounts will have all ads stopped, lose any programs they are involved in, and will require prepayment of ads until we are satisfied they have credit worthiness for billing again. Accounts that are delinquent for over 30 days may be assigned to collection.
