A business bought a menu ad, paid for it, and never saw the ad.  Neither did the restaurant.  To be honest, I’ve heard this story a few times — not just about menus, but also about new magazines, websites, and telephone directories.

Practices such as these don’t do our ad sales any favors.

Coffee News is fun to read — and the advertising is generally more affordable, more frequent, and more visible than most venues that are available to small businesses.

Sometimes when I suggest that a business give Coffee News a try, they say “I tried a menu ad and wasn’t happy with the result.”

Well, Coffee News is available in most area restaurants, but it’s easy to see that it’s not a menu!

I’ve also heard this: “I paid for an ad and it never got published.”

There are scams, but sometimes it did get published and was buried deep inside a publication that received a minimal amount of distribution — such that the ad was nearly impossible to find.

When you advertise with Coffee News, you can rest assured we work hard to fulfill our small company’s mission:  to help small and medium sized businesses grow with effective, affordable advertising.

It’s a two page publication and all the ads are on the front or the back.  We seek out the highest traffic restaurants and waiting areas — over 450 of them — for our distribution.

We love to see our clients grow their businesses and advertise not just in Coffee News but in other places also — but we also want to see those advertising dollars spent for maximum value.

Why Advertise with Coffee News?
The reason why Coffee News is so successful is because it is good for everybody and everything it touches. Even other media services gain by getting better results for their advertisers if their advertisers also advertise in Coffee News. It provides a few minutes of light reading while the order is taken and the meal is prepared. Since most patrons can read Coffee News in about eight minutes, they have plenty of time to read all the ads as well.

Coffee News works! Surveys have shown that each Coffee News is read five to seven times in local restaurants: readers are encouraged, since it’s FREE, to either take it with them or return it to the stand for others to enjoy. Every week a new issue is delivered to the rack and old copies are recycled. Restaurants no longer need to buy several local papers for their patrons. They can now provide Coffee News as a no cost substitute for patrons who demand something to read while eating. Since patrons enjoy Coffee News, restaurants enjoy repeat business.

Did you know that on average, we each see over 3,000 different commercial messages daily. Advertising is everywhere. And businesses must be more savvy than ever with how they present themselves and spend their ad dollars. Most small and medium-sized businesses are very poorly served by print, radio and TV advertising because of the simple fact that in order to reach the people who are potential customers, they have to buy at least four or more times the circulation they need. Even direct mail, which does allow them to choose their own circulation, can be very expensive.

Enter Coffee News!

Your neighborhood business NEEDS neighborhood coverage, and thereâs very little, if any, advertising media that allows you to target your advertising dollars so precisely, so effectively at so much less cost. Coffee News manages to reach the highest and most potent concentration of potential customers of ANY media — for a fraction of the cost!
