Advertise with the Calhoun Journal
Explore Our Four Advertising Options
Every business has different advertising goals. Whether you’re looking for maximum exposure, promoting a special event, or introducing your business to new customers, Calhoun Journal offers four distinct advertising opportunities.
Flexible Advertising to Fit Your Budget
At Calhoun Journal, we believe effective advertising should be accessible to businesses of all sizes. That’s why we offer flexible pricing options designed to fit your goals and budget.
Flat-Rate Advertising: Enjoy a full 30 days of advertising for one predictable price, regardless of how many impressions your advertisement receives.
Pay-Per-Impression Advertising: Start with a minimum budget of just $100 and choose how much you want to spend. Your advertisement runs until your prepaid budget is exhausted, then automatically stops. No unexpected charges or commitments.
Whether you’re looking for maximum visibility or working within a smaller budget, Calhoun Journal makes it easy to reach local customers.
1. In-Article Banner Advertising — Maximum Visibility
Our premier advertising placement.
Position your advertisement directly within Calhoun Journal news articles, where readers are actively engaged with local news. These placements consistently generate our highest advertising visibility, making them an excellent choice for businesses seeking broad exposure.
Flat-rate pricing: $800 for 30 days. Pay-per-impression advertising is also available.
2. Bottom-of-Article Advertising — Reach Engaged Readers
Place your advertisement at the conclusion of our news articles, reaching readers as they finish stories that matter to their community.
This popular placement provides substantial visibility at a lower monthly investment than our premium in-article banners.
Flat-rate pricing: $600 for 30 days. Pay-per-impression advertising is also available.
3. Homepage Banner Advertising — A Prominent First Impression
Put your business in front of visitors browsing the Calhoun Journal homepage. Homepage banners offer a visible, recognizable placement for businesses looking to build local brand awareness.
Flat-rate pricing: $450 for 30 days. Ask about impression-based options.
4. Sponsored Content — Tell Your Business’s Story
Sometimes an advertisement needs more than a picture and a headline.
Sponsored content gives your business the opportunity to share its story through a dedicated, clearly labeled promotional article published on Calhoun Journal.
Perfect for grand openings, business milestones, new products, community events, and special announcements.
Your sponsored feature includes up to 300 words, up to 10 photos or videos, a link to your business, and promotion through our digital channels.
Sponsored content: $300 per publication.
