Advertising with the PC Times

Advertising in the PC Times - what's in it for you?

  • Our advertisers are really important to us - without them, we wouldn't be able to share news with our local communities. Every advertiser - large or small - will get great service from us.
  • We are the only newspaper to cover the entire geographic distribution of Auckland's sought-after coastal and rural south-east.  Advertisements in our paper reach more than 6,500 households (and growing - fast!).  Read more about our distribution area and the type of people who read our newspapers.  And check out this unsolicited Facebook post from someone in our community who asked: who reads the local paper?  
  • We are hyper-local.  That means we only print news relevant to the people who live in our area.  Because of this, our paper is very well read.  As a result, advertisements are seen - not just thrown straight in the bin! 
  • "But I do my advertising online".  Spreading your advertising over a variety of platforms ensures greater coverage. Many people aren't on social media. Those who are tend to scroll past ads quickly. We suggest using print as a way to complement your online advertising strategy, not as an 'either/or' option!
  • We offer a range of advertising options to suit all budgets - from classified ads through to full-page options.
  • We like to make it easy for you - you can supply your ad, or we can create one for you (you will need to send us any logos and images you want to use - see here for more details).
  • Our advertising manager Melody Cutfield is happy to provide advice about what will work best for your size business.   Contact Melody by email or phone 021 026 14467. 
  • We run regular special features with supporting editorial - these are a great way to showcase your business on a page that complements your specialty. Find out more.
  • If you're a real estate agent, our monthly property guide is the perfect advertising vehicle with heavily discounted rates offered to agencies who commit to regular ongoing ads.
  • Unlike most other print media, we don't charge extra for full-colour print.
