Cardinal Advertising Rate Sheet

Update 9/24/2009: All rates are now calculated by square inch, instead of column inch. The prices have not changed, just the unit of measure. This change provides a standard that both advertising agencies and local businesses can understand when purchasing advertising.

The Cardinal is 10 in. wide (divided into five 2-in. columns) by 15 in. high.

Flat rate per square inch:  $3 (Minimum of $12 – 2”x2” ad)

Example: A 4” wide x 5” high ad is 20 sq. inches.  20 sq. inches x $3 = $60.00 per insertion before any discounts which might apply.
