You can find A Sandusky Bay Journal in supermarkets, restaurants, coffeeshops, motels, and hotels streching from Perrysburg to Cleveland.  See a complete list of distribution points here! (pdf <100 KB, updated 15-Jan-09)

Our current distribution is approximately 18,000-22,000.   Our paper is free to those who pick it up at our distribution points, and costs $30 per year for mail subscribers.

What do you charge for ads?

We charge $20 per column inch for a one month insertion (for national advertisers this is a net charge).  A column in our paper is 1.84 inches wide, with spacing between columns of 0.2 inches. There are five columns on each page. Using that rate basis, a quarter page ad would cost $350 and a full page is $1450.  This charge gives you monthly magazine-style exposure at small-town daily newspaper rates. We can accept ads in most computer formats, but we prefer .png and .jpeg.
The price of your ad includes:
       1.  Free artwork by us, if you want it.
       2.  Free ad consultation, to make your ad something that will be noticed.
       3.  A free locator map in the paper to show where to find your business, if needed.

Do you have any deals?

Yes. We provide some discounts for longer term commitments. Please call us to find out about them.  .

Do you take ad inserts?

Yes.  We can distribute your insert to all of our locations, or to select areas, as you choose.  Inserts need to measure 8.5" by 11", and should be on 20# paper, either plain white or colored.  We charge 5 cents an insert if you provide them to us, or 10 cents if you want us to provide the paper and the copying.  To ensure a certain character, we review and approve insert designs.


How do I pay you?

You can pay us when you order your ad.  Or we can bill you, with terms of net 30.  We also accept major credit cards.
