Display ads in The Victoria Gazette are charged at the rate of $4.50 per column inch.  A full page ad is 4 columns (10") wide and 15" high.  There is no price reduction for running more than one ad in an issue nor for running an ad on a regular monthly basis because the $4.50 price can't be beat as it is.  There are sometimes extra charges for photos ($5 to $10 each when they have to be separately retrieved) and for ad layout and design ($5 to $50).  Smallest display ad available is 5" x 2" space at $18.  The only color option available is black and white.  Camera ready jpg's and pdf's work great.  Average monthly deadline is the 22nd of each month.
