The NCPS 2x2/2x4 Display Advertising Network enables you to market your product, service or opportunity effectively, easily and 
economically.
For just $1,475, you can place a 2x2 ad in more than 75 N.C. newspapers. Or for just $2,950 you can place a 2x4. This is a fraction of the price you would pay to place the ads directly in participating newspapers. Reach more than 1.3 million readers!
Here's how it works!
When your ad will run:
Ads will run one time between Monday and Sunday in each participating newspaper. Exact publication date is at the discretion of the newspapers. Due to the low cost of 2x2 & 2x4 ads, the specific day cannot be requested. NCPS cannot guarantee position of your ad.
Ad Size
2x2 ads are (2 columns) 3.22" wide by 2" deep. (Some papers may need to alter the borders to fit their column measures or to float the ad in the space.) 2x4 ads are (2 columns) 3 3/4" x 4" deep. See examples of a 2x2 & 2x4 ad here.
Ad Design
We prefer that you have camera-ready PDF copy already prepared. Please submit one copy with your order. Screened backgrounds cannot be accepted.
