Advertising

Posted by admin On July - 28 - 2010

For most small to mid-sized community businesses, it is not realistic to spend millions of dollars a year on advertising. It is often far more cost effective to advertise only in the local area. That is where the Smoke Signal can help.

The Smoke Signal is the official paper of Mission San Jose High School, located in Fremont’s Mission District. It is self-funded, which means it depends solely on advertisements and a small subscriber base for financial security. Each issue is exposed not only to our student body of 2,300 students but to school staff members, parents, and subscribers from the surrounding area.

We offer several advertising options to fit your preferences, from smaller business card-sized ads to larger full-page ads. You may also supply preprinted inserts. A variety of dates are available for you to run your advertisement in, and the Smoke Signal is willing to accommodate everything from a full year of advertising to a single issue. Moreover, a business may choose to either pay in advance or wait until the invoice is dropped off after the advertisement has run. Advertisers will also receive a free copy of our paper for the dates they choose to run advertisements.

With this, please consider running an advertisement that will reach out to the Mission District community. If you are interested, please see the rate card and contact one of the Ad Managers at ads@thesmokesignal.org. We greatly appreciate your support.
