In a move to ease the pressures on advertisers' budgets amid a challenging economic environment, the City of Ramsey has announced a significant cutback in advertising rates. According to a social media post from the city, local businesses can now reserve a spot in the Ramsey Resident magazine – a publication that boasts a circulation of over 12,000 copies – at a more affordable rate. The cost for a 1/8-page advertisement has been slashed from $299 down to $200.

The updated pricing structure is aimed at supporting the local economy and encouraging continuous advertising efforts; organizations that plan their marketing strategies ahead and run six consecutive ads are entitled to an additional 10% discount, however, they need to keep an eye on timelines the deadline for submitting ads to be featured in the March/April issue of the Ramsey Resident is looming, with a cutoff date set for Monday, February 2.

Further sweetening the deal, the city's revised rates encompass ad creation services provided by the city staff, although businesses retain the option to supply their own advertisements if they prefer. For advertisers interested in taking advantage of the reduced rates or those seeking more information on the process, resources can be found at the city's website or by reaching out directly via email to [email protected] or by dialing 763-433-9831 for more personalized assistance.

This initiative underscores the City of Ramsey's commitment to fostering a pro-business environment, considering the distribution frequency of the Ramsey Resident is six times a year, ads placed here have the potential to significantly impact the local market with the added benefit of increased affordability and broad reach; it's a win-win for small businesses needing a boost in visibility without breaking the bank stated the City of Ramsey in their latest outreach to the business community.
