Q: How long has Coffee News been in existence?  

A: Coffee News was originally researched and founded by Jean Daum in Winnipeg, Canada in 1988. It has grown to over 1100 publishers in over 30 countries worldwide!

Q: Can restaurants advertise in Coffee News?  

A: No. As a courtesy to all our restaurant and coffee shop clients in the area, we offer the protection that no business in the restaurant industry will be allowed to advertise in Coffee News. Although most restaurants would love to have an ad, they are disallowed automatically. The reason -- a Burger King ad in Coffee News, for example, would have every McDonald's refusing to carry Coffee News. No restaurant would welcome their competitor's efforts to take away their customers right inside their own premises, so they would naturally kick them out -- and Coffee News too.

We do offer restaurants carrying Coffee News a free location listing on our web site showing our readers where they can pick up a free copy of Coffee News.

Q: How much is an ad?  

A: Pricing depends on location, number of weeks you commit to run your ad and number of editions, but ads in Coffee News are less expensive than other print media, so the small business person can easily afford to advertise. You can advertise in Coffee News for a fraction of the cost of other media! So unless another company in your "category" of business is already advertising in the edition, it is open to you. Remember all ads in Coffee News are “EXCLUSIVES”, meaning we only allow one type of business in each edition, allowing our advertisers to LOCK OUT their competition - unlike any other publication in town! Please call for an advertising package customized just for you – 317-376-3535.

Q: Why do you recommend that the ad run for at least 13 weeks?  

A: A good ad is like a seed for a fruit tree. Repetition is its water. Weekly consistency is its sunlight. The longer your seed is allowed to grow in the mind of the public, the greater and greater your harvests will be. What size harvests do you want to see?

Q: How do I pay for the ad?  

A: We offer you a lot of flexibility in how you choose to pay for your ad. You may pay for the ad by cash, check or Visa/Mastercard. You can pay monthly, quarterly, yearly, however you choose.

Q: Do I need to design the ad?  

A: NO... If you already have a camera-ready ad -- GREAT! If you don't, well then that's great too because we'll work with you to create one. The ad production fee is $35.

Q: Can I change an ad now and then?  

A: Yes, you can. There is never a charge for minor ad changes, which may be e-mailed, faxed or phoned in.
