Coffee News specializes in the ongoing promotion of your business. Repetitive exposure in Coffee News – 3 meals a day, 7 days a week – will help build awareness of your company so you become known as the first choice in your market. It can help you develop your brand so people think of you first when they want your services or products.

Psychologists understand that the more we are exposed to something the better we remember it. Some suggest it takes 15 or more exposures of a new idea or concept before we really accept and understand it.

Keep this in mind when you promote your business or organization. If you want people to remember your company when they need you, then give them the opportunity to remember you. Do this by keeping your identity in front of them as often as possible within the limits of your marketing budget.

RATES:As a guideline, a business card size ad in any of 4  editions of Coffee News will cost from $29-$35 per week. Accounts are billed monthly which makes it affordable for most small to medium businesses to promote themselves on an ongoing basis. We charge a one time fee ($35) for ad insertion and design. This allows for all future changes at no addtional charge and guarantee not to allow your competitors to advertise in the same edition as long as you have the exlusive space booked.

All you need to do is contact your local publisher or email info@coffeenewsbatonrouge.com with the details.

Why Advertise with Your Local Coffee News?

The reason why Coffee News is so successful is because it is good for everybody and everything it touches. Even other media services gain by getting better results for their advertisers when they also advertise in Coffee News.

It provides a few minutes of light reading while the order is taken and the meal is prepared. Since most people can read Coffee News in about eight minutes, they have plenty of time to read all the ads as well.Coffee News works!

USA surveys have shown that each Coffee News is read five to seven times in local restaurants: readers are encouraged, since it’s FREE, to either take it with them or return it to the stand for others to enjoy. Every week a new issue is delivered to the rack and old copies are recycled.

Restaurants no longer need to buy several local papers for their customers. They can now provide Coffee News as a no cost substitute for patrons who appreciate something to read while eating. Since patrons enjoy Coffee News, restaurants enjoy repeat business.

Did you know that on average, we each see over 3,000 different commercial messages daily? Advertising is everywhere. And businesses must be more savvy than ever with how they present themselves and spend their advertising dollars. Most small and medium-sized businesses are very poorly served by print, radio and TV advertising because of the simple fact that in order to reach the people who are potential customers, they have to buy at least four or more times the circulation they need. Even direct mail, which does allow them to choose their own circulation, can be very expensive.

Enter Coffee News!

Your neighborhood business NEEDS neighbourhood coverage, and there?s very little, if any, advertising media that allows you to target your advertising dollars so precisely, so effectively at so much less cost. Coffee News manages to reach the highest and most potent concentration of potential customers of ANY media — for a fraction of the cost!

Using a conservative estimate of 200 patrons per day, results in 1400 patrons per week.
