A newspaper advertisement can carry new clients into your business or encourage a new service or product, but it can be a costly expense. Many companies have learned how to advertise in a newspaper for free of charge. With a little time and energy, you can learn how to do this yourself.
Step One
Secure the funding. Each business should pay you 50 percent of their cost before you continue with the insert. Let the businesses know that the outstanding balance is to be paid on the day they approve the advertisement. This guarantees that you will not end up with the final bill.
Step Two
Form a co-op to increase the costs. Find 3 other businesses who are interested in advertising using an insert. Try businesses that are located near you. You can also contact businesses that offer a service or manufactured goods that work well in conjunction with what you are offering.
Step Three
Realize the full price for advertising. Start by finding out how much it costs to place an insert in your local newspaper. Next, determine how much printing and paper will cost to have the necessary number of inserts. Add these amounts to the newspaper’s cost. Divide this total by 3.
Step Four
Quote the price. Tell the other 3 businesses how much it will cost for them to have a quarter of a page advertisement on the insert. This is the price that you determined in step one.
Step Five
Present the insert. You need to have the exact number of inserts required at the newspaper by the newspaper’s deadline. If you have pursued the steps correctly you will have a free quarter page advertisement in the newspaper.
Step Six
Confirm the advertisement. Once the businesses have approved the insert and paid their remaining balances, it is time to print the inserts.
