Cut through the clutter.

Capturing the attention of an audience is a challenge in the current media landscape. The do not call register, no junk mail stickers, flawed distribution models and cluttered environments make it difficult for brands to get in the hands of potential consumers. Newspapers provide a powerful, credible and reliable vehicle to ensure catalogues get in the front door. When reading a newspaper people are more actively engaged than any other main media. This means they are more receptive to advertising messages and in turn more likely to take action.

The Advertiser and Sunday Mail offer an insert service, mass reaching the Adelaide Metro and Country Areas, achieving state-wide reach within the trusted host publication.

Our publications offer a “full service” option that realises campaign objectives from conception to conclusion, using our team of professional designers and sales consultants to design, produce and distribute your advertising flyer.

The reliable delivery of our papers ensures that advertiser’s catalogues or flyers are welcomed into the home. Over 30% of South Australians have a "no junk mail" sticker, a barrier that's overcome with inserts into our publications.

Our insert opportunities will help build brand awareness, recall and engagement in your marketing material.
