Advertising
The Richmond Beach Community News (RBCN) is produced by volunteers. Advertising support pays for the cost of printing and mailing.
Display Advertising
The Display Advertising Rate for the RBCN is $12 per column inch per issue (tenth ad is free if advertising in all ten issues; 2% discount for prepayment). One column inch equals one inch high by one column wide. Ads can be any combination of column width and length, but must equal a whole column inch amount. For example, a 3 column inch ad could be 1 column wide by 3 inches deep or 2 columns wide by 1 1/2 inches deep or 3 columns wide by 1 inch deep.
Because the newspaper staff is volunteer, it is not possible to devote the time or take on the responsibility of creating new ads for advertisers. We can supply you with a list of graphic artists who can provide this service, for a fee. Ads are run in the newspaper exactly as provided by the advertiser. The RBCN reserves the right to refuse to publish any ad deemed inappropriate.
Flyers
The RBCN will now accept flyers for insertion into our press run of 2,400+. The cost is $200 per flyer per issue. The advertiser must provide 2,500 flyers on 24# paper.
Deadline
The deadline for submitting an ad is the 15th of the month preceeding publication, or the closest business day to the 15th of the month. Early deadlines may apply during holidays.
Liability
Liability for RBCN errors shall not exceed the cost of the space in which the error or omission occurred and shall be handled at the discretion of the Advertising Manager.
