Retail Advertisements
Retail ads are ads with a border around them that appear on pages containing news or other information. A full-page retail ad is 6 columns wide by 21 inches deep. Smaller-sized ads also can be run from 1 column up to 6 columns wide.

Classified Advertisements
Classified ads appear in a certain section of the paper along with other ads of the same type such as real estate, automotive and employment. A full page classified ad has 9 columns. Smaller-sized ads also can be run from 1 column up to 9 columns wide.
There are two types of classified ads: Display ads and line ads:
A display ad may contain artwork, logos and different-sized type.
Line ads are usually just type, all the same size and appearing in columns, one after another. These are sometimes generally defined as "want ads," but there are many other types, including yard sale, real estate and automobiles. The price of these ads is determined by the number of lines, how many times it runs and whether it is a business ad or a private party ad.

Ads may be placed over the phone at (843) 524-2527. You can also click here to place a classified ad online with our secure server.

Fliers Inserted into The Beaufort Gazette
Your advertising message, in the form of a flier or pre-printed piece, can be inserted in The Gazette on the day of your choice. You can get the number of fliers printed (minimum of 5,000) that you would like us to put in the paper, and we will insert them for you. You can "zone" your insert to a particular area to customize your message (example: home-delivery papers only, mainland papers only, specific communities, etc.). The cost for the inserts depends on the quantity we insert and is usually far less expensive than postage to mail the flier. Remember, though, the printing must be arranged with an outside printer of your choice. The fliers must be scheduled and delivered to The Gazette's office five days before the date of insertion.

Online Advertisements
The Beaufort Gazette offers a variety of online advertising opportunities, including banner advertisements, section sponsorships and products for specific markets, including car dealerships and apartments.
