All our readers are familiar with the rotating banner at the top of Rye News promoting businesses and activities in our town. Now everyone now has an opportunity to promote their business, service or activity through our newly launched advertising programme. Unlike many publications, we have no interest in bombarding you with unwanted promotions and intrusive pop-ups as you try and read our paper.
Instead, we are focussed on promoting only local activities, whether they are business oriented, charitable or supporting our tourist industry. We believe this strikes the right balance between providing impartial news, opinions and features and advertising, which provides essential revenue to support our entirely voluntary activities.
Rye News is read by an average of 6,000 readers a week, accessing over 1 million page views a year, impressive for a town with a population of around 4,500. Direct advertising can therefore have a real impact on residents and visitors, complementing our free to use “What’s On” section in the paper. Our comments capability also encourages interaction and debate.
As well as promoting your business or service on the top banner, a slot is also available on our weekly alert, sent to over 2,500 opted-in subscribers.
You can submit an an advertisement through our website at a discounted introductory cost or submit an event for free. Whatever you choose, the intent is to make sure that Rye News provides a comprehensive news and informations service matched to the needs of our readers.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us to explore these options or provide feedback on our paper and services.
