Mossel Bay Advertiser advertising rates & prices 2027
AdvertiseHere does not publish the Mossel Bay Advertiser’s rate card: print advertising prices change with every rate card and depend on exactly what you book.

|---|---|
| Ad size | Display ads are priced by page fraction (full, half, quarter page) or by column-centimetre; a bigger ad costs more. |

| Position | Front page, solus, early right-hand pages and jackets are premium positions and are priced higher than run-of-paper. |
