Auburn Highlights Local Businesses in Monthly Newsletter

The city of Auburn newsletter is not only the ideal forum for keeping local residents informed of the latest news and upcoming events, but the full-color, four-page Auburn Messenger also provides local businesses with a terrific opportunity to advertise inexpensively and directly to 2,800 households each month.

All ad spaces can be purchased in three-month increments and are available on a "first-come,-first-served" basis. A 2-inch by 2-inch ad space can be rented for just $50 — that equates to less than $17 per month. A maximum of two ad spaces may be purchased by one business per ad cycle and can be combined for a larger space or placed on two different pages for the possibility of more impressions. Space is very limited, and advertising in multiple periods can help guarantee a business space in the newsletter for up to one year. Ad placement is rotated from one month to the next and is selected at random.

Potential advertisers in the Auburn Messenger must have an Auburn business license number and a camera ready ad, which is due by the third of the month prior to the ad run date. For instance, those wishing to run an ad in the March 2012 newsletter should be prepared to have their ad turned in at on Feb. 3. Payment is also due at that time and will be accepted in the form of cash, check or money order made payable to the city of Auburn. All advertisements are subject to the approval of the city.
