What type of ads are published in The The Hindu ?
Display Ad
Classified Text Ad
Classified Text ads are the most popular and least expensive type of newspaper ads. The pricing is calculated per line or per word based on the newspaper. To increase the visibility some newspapers allow options for add-ons (bold, tick mark and background colour). These types of ads are typically used for change of name, lost & found, announcements, and personal ads. Classified Text ads are published either in the daily newspapers or in special classified sections on certain days of the week.
Classified Display Ad
Classified Display (CD) advertisements are more expensive than Classified Text ads, as they allow for utilization of logos, visuals and shading that makes the ad more attractive. The ad rates are calculated based on the size (per sq.cm) of the space covered. These ads are limited to certain sections of each newspaper and as a result get increased visibility and responses. These types of ads are typically used for obituaries, remembrance, business, notice and announcement ads.
Display Ad
Display ads are generally published by larger businesses and corporations to promote their products or services. There are no restrictions to the colour, size, page or position in the newspapers. They commonly contain text, photos, logos, pricing and contact information. Display ads cost significantly more and therefore are used by those businesses with larger marketing budgets.
Benefits of Advertising in newspapers

Newspaper classified ads can target carefully chosen demographical sections that are otherwise difficult to target via other media. This option allows advertisers to effectively reach out to a specific audience with a greater possibility of turning them from potential clients to real clients.

This ensures that the readers see the information in the same format and in the same location, thus improving their chances of remembering it.
