Color Ad rates and availability
Color ads are $13.50 per column inch, plus an additional $15 for color. Because only a few pages of the EastsideNews are printed in color, 4-color (CMYK) ad space is limited and available on a first-come, first served basis. Rates are rounded off to the nearest dollar.

Interested in inserts?
If you have an insert you'd like to have tucked into our paper, the cost is $1000 insert fee. And you'll need to deliver the insert to our one of our printer's offices in Middleton or Black Earth. Contact the Managing Editor, Margo, to make arrangements.
Paying for your Ad
Payment is due upon receipt of the invoice. Ads may be paid by check, money order or credit card. Failure to provide your ad by the deadline will not relieve you of your financial responsibility. You will be billed as if your ad ran.
