With 81 per cent of our region's inhabitants reading our papers you cannot afford to overlook The Leader Group's reach.
We have six journalists spread across the
region collecting the news our community likes to read; making sure that
local faces are constantly in the editorial mix.
There are several very popular special
advertising features that run monthly including 'Your Home', 'Total
Health and Beauty', 'Landscaping and Gardening' and many more.
Newspaper Display Advertising
Display advertising is located
throughout the publication and utilises size, colour, illustration and
typography to attract the reader's attention. Display advertising is
primarily found in the editorial sections but can also be placed within
classified sections if deemed appropriate and relevant.
You can
request a preferred position within the newspaper for a fee or choose
"run of paper" whereby the advertisement is placed in any position in
the paper at our discretion. Opting for run of paper generally results
in a reduced charge to an advertiser.
Classified Advertising
Classifieds
are advertising only pages across a number of different categories e.g
for sale, trade services or situations vacant.
Run of Paper Acceptable sizes in multiples of 1cm. Minimum depth 4cm, up to 30cm then 36.5cm, 1-5 columns then 7 columns.
Classified Minimum 3 lines for liners, display
2cm to 30cm deep then 36.5cm, 1- 6 columns wide then 8 columns.
Classified from 2cm deep to 11columns (37.70) wide, up to 44cm x 11cols
and then to 54cm x 11cols.
The Leader Group prefers, where practical, PDF format for complete advertisements and TIF or JPEG format for pieces of artwork.
All typefaces must be outlined i.e. converted to paths, or fonts embedded.
All colour advertisements must be CMYK.
You can upload your complete artwork directly or alternatively email it to: prepress@nelsonmail.co.nz
Any questions regarding acceptable file formats or applications can be put forward to: Stuart Hague on +64 3 546 2756

Firstly choose which papers you are wanting to
appear in and you will see in the column below (on the rate card) the
rates per column/cm depending on your budgeted total spend over a 12
month period. To calculate your advertising/schedule cost, take the
advertisement size and multiply with the colour-inclusive column/cm rate
which pertains to you. This will give you the total rate.
If you require a guaranteed position simply add 40%.
The total is the advertisement cost amount exclusive of GST.
