Our newspapers publish once weekly, so your ad will appear one time each week in each newspaper.
We book ads "starting week of Monday ..." However, the newspapers may be delivered to our readers' homes on Wednesday, Thursday or even Friday of that week. Remember also that your ad is being placed in many newspapers and delivery dates vary throughout the week you are running your ad.
In all advertising, frequency is important. The more often your classified ad is seen, the more likely that the reader will respond.
That's why we offer such a generous frequency discount in Ontario. Book your ad for 3 weeks & get a 4th week free.
No, as long as you book 3 ads within 3 months, you are eligible for your 4th ad free in Ontario.
We separately calculate the price of your classified ad by province. Frequency discounts vary in different provinces. Please ask for details..
No, all ads must be prepaid either by cheque, money order, American Express, Mastercard or Visa.
If paying by cheque or money order, we will wait to receive your payment at our OCNA office before we can place the ad.
If paying by credit card, we can process the ad immediately.
Your classified ad must be placed by deadline for the booking region.
As long as payment is confirmed, the ad will appear in newspapers the following week.
