Display Advertising

Tap into one of the most desirable markets in the country. The Chelsea/Wakefield area is ranked by Statistics Canada as boasting one of the highest median family incomes in the province. A thriving but small local business community means residents with high disposable incomes are not met with excessive local competition for their dollars. That’s why this area is a desirable target market and The Low Down delivers an impressive 50% penetration rate in Chelsea households.

Your ad gets noticed, not lost
As a paid paper, purchased either by subscription or from the newsstand, advertisers can be assured our loyal readers actually notice your ad. Our paper is read cover to cover, unlike free distribution publications that may or may not get opened before ending up in the recycling bin.

Big bang, small buck
The Low Down offers the most competitive rates for almost any kind of advertising in our territory. We also offer impressive discounts for repeat advertising.

And don’t forget our website – discounted rates for print / web advertisers!
