A newspaper insert is an economical way to get your pre-printed piece into the hands of News readers. Insertion rates are based on distribution:

• Greene County only (1,550): $195.00 ;
• Greene, Clark & Montgomery Counties (1,650): $205.00 ;
• Total circulation (1,750): $215.00

We ask that inserts are paid for the day they are dropped off and you bring in at least 100 pieces over the insertion amount; we will save the unused inserts for you. Also, if you wish, you can come to our office the Thursday of the week following your insertion, and retrieve your insert from unsold, returned newspapers. Please note: Unless otherwise notified, the News cannot be held responsible for inserts left beyond the week they are scheduled for insertion.

We offer design services for flier production, from concept to printing, as well as basic reconfiguration of display ads into fliers.

Design
• One-sided, black-and-white: $145
• Two-sided, black-and-white: $195

Printing
Printing is optional; costs depend on quantity, size and paper type.

Custom Design Options
If you need more in-depth design work, such as a logo or assistance with writing copy, YSN Design can work with you for additional charges. Rates vary depending on the project.

Reconfiguring an Existing Ad
YSN Design can reconfigure your display ad to fit a standard flyer or small poster.

• Resizing: $25; this assumes ad will reasonably scale to larger desired format. Additional fees may apply for more complex reconfigurations.
• Edits to existing ad copy: $25; this assumes copy changes will fit with reasonable adjustment to new format. Additional fees may apply for more complex edits or additions.
• Color: $55; this assumes materials to reconfigure ad in color exist, at print quality. Additional fees may apply for more complex color manipulations or corrections.

Weekly Rate: $6, up to 20 words; additional words 10¢ each. A $1 discount is given for subsequent insertions of the same ad with no changes.

Classifieds on the Web: Classified ads in the Yellow Springs News can be included on the News website, ysnews.com, for an additional $1 per week.

Billing Charge: $1 charge each time an ad is billed. Classified ads are billed one week after the first insertion if payment has not been made. Bills are sent at two-week intervals thereafter.

Free Ads: No charge for one insertion — up to 20 words — of found ads, ride sharing ads, card of thanks or free offers. Free ads also include web placement for 1 week.

Photo in your classified ad: $10 extra per week, 1 inch by 2.4 inches in print (black & white), and online (in color). Click here for details and samples.
