Sound from Bellingham to Olympia, including the
Eastside; Spokane, Chehalis, and Western Idaho.
• Our readers actually read the newspaper from
front to back and save their issues. This means a
greater chance of people responding to your ad.

by more than 20,000 unique visitors monthly. Your

• Our rates are reasonable and we offer special
discounts for multiple placement of your ads as well as
our special Goodie Packages.
• We are locally owned and operated, and we know,
care about, and give back to the local community. We feature local as well as national authors, healers, and business people. This appeals to the readers and gives your ad better exposure.

Advertising is available on a first-come, first-served, space-available basis. The advertising content of the publication is kept to around 50-60%. Many publications run 75-80% advertising content. We believe the lower advertising content will allow the publication of more articles, making for a more interesting experience for our readers. We do encourage the readers to support our advertisers since it is this revenue which supports the newspaper financially.

Businesses and individuals who advertise in New Spirit Journal agree to do so in a spirit of cooperation, honesty, and with the goal of helping to co-create a happier, healthier planet. We accept advertising at any time so it is not necessary to wait until the deadline to place yours. Our deadlines must be firm in order to allow enough time to produce the publication and get it in the hands of the readers in a timely manner.

Ads are due the second Saturday of the month for the next month's issue.

Payment is due when the ad is placed, and can be made by check, debit or credit
