📰 What is Newspaper Insertion Advertising?

Newspaper insertion advertising is a proven, offline marketing strategy where your flyer, pamphlet, coupon, or catalog is physically inserted into daily newspapers. Your brand's message, offer, or call-to-action gets delivered right into homes, offices, and businesses—alongside the papers Indians trust and read every morning.

Guaranteed visibility

Inserts are always seen and handled, unlike digital ads that get skipped or blocked.

Tangible impact

Recipients can read, share, and respond instantly.

Local targeting

Reach by city, suburb, neighborhood, or even apartment societies—by language, demography, or lifestyle.

Why does it work?

Physical delivery ensures 100% visibility
Trusted medium - newspapers are credible
Cost-effective compared to other media
Measurable results with proof of delivery

🔄 How Does Newspaper Insertion Work? (Step-by-Step)

1. Target Audience & Area Selection

Define your cities (e.g., Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad), neighborhoods, language(s), or even pin code clusters. We help match your campaign to the right papers and editions.

2. Creative Design & Print Coordination

Our in-house designers craft persuasive creatives for A2, A4, or A5 inserts. You get custom layouts, QR codes, and brand-consistent visuals.

3. Distribution & Insertion Setup

Flyers are printed to publisher specs, then inserted and distributed with your chosen dailies on specific dates—ensured by longstanding partnerships.

4. Proof of Delivery & Reporting

Receive scanned newspaper samples, photos/videos of the insertion, publisher certificates, and analytics like redemption rates or local engagement.
