Print Advertising Specifications & Rates

The Gander is an A4 publication distributed free to every household in the parish of Goxhill. By advertising with us, you directly support our community grant award schemes.

1. Print Dimensions (A4 Format)

To ensure your advertisement prints clearly, please provide artwork to the following exact dimensions:

Space
Dimensions (W x H)
1/2 Page
190mm x 134mm
1/4 Page
93mm x 134mm
1/8 Page
93mm x 65mm
Small (SM)
44mm x 65mm

2. Technical Quality Standards

  • Accepted Formats: High-resolution PDF, JPEG, or PNG.
  • Non-Acceptable Media: We cannot accept scans of previous magazines, photos of business cards, or low-resolution web images. On A4 paper, these will appear pixelated and unprofessional.
  • Design Assistance: We provide limited advertising design for local trades. Complex custom graphic design is the responsibility of the advertiser.

3. Print Advertising Rates

Rates are based on the number of quarterly issues booked. All proceeds are used for the magazine and community grant schemes.

This is currently the cheapest advertising around, as we move to a new printer for the Summer edition and the adspace is redesigned, pricing is likely to be revised accordingly, so now would be a good time to take advantage of these low rates.

4. Deadlines & Colour Policy

  • Summer Edition Deadline: Friday 24th April.
  • Colour Placement: The majority of the magazine is Black & White. Limited colour pages are available. Priority is given to new advertisers for their first 1-2 issues; thereafter, placement is subject to availability.

Standard Terms of Service

  • Approval: The Editor retains final authority on all advertisement placements and visual styling to ensure the quality of the publication.
  • Liability: Advertisers are responsible for the accuracy of their content.
  • Volunteers: The Gander is a community non-profit. Please respect our submission deadlines and technical requirements to ensure our volunteers can focus on community grant work.

ADVERTISING ENQUIRIES

Process and contacts

All advertising is primarily controlled by the respective EDITOR, to ensure there will be space for your advert. From time to time, we may have to put your ad on a waiting list. Once you have placement, you will be contacted by the Goxhill Gander Secretary Rebecca Noton, and payments are made directly to the Goxhill Gander. Non payment risks the removal of your ad to open the space for others.


LOCAL NON PROFIT ENTITIES
You can advertise for free, subject to availabilty of space. Please see the Submit Articles section or contact us to be added to the Community links page.

Web Advertising Specifications & Rates

The Gander is a community non-profit. Please respect our submission deadlines and technical requirements to ensure our volunteers can focus on community grant work.

1. Template Policy

Our website is a pro-bono project built to modern security and performance standards.

To ensure technical quality standards and the visual integrity of the Gander website layout, every online advertisement will be constructed the same (fonts, borders, behaviours, and options):

  • Central top Logo
  • Up to two small logos or accreditation images
  • Curated short list of up to 5 services
  • Qualifier/title line or subheading (as appropriate)
  • Contact detail bar (e.g., short physical address and phone number, or two phone numbers)
  • Ads will have a light background with a gradient applied as appropriate
  • Border and text colours will be matched to your brand

2. Technical Quality Standards

  • SSL & Security: We only link to websites with a valid SSL certificate. To maintain our site's integrity, we reserve the right to redirect links to a verified Facebook page or WhatsApp contact if the destination site is deemed "Incomplete" or "Insecure."
  • Responsive Layouts: We do not display static print artwork online. Every ad is hard-coded in a mobile-first template to ensure your services are readable on all devices.
  • Zero-Spam Policy: We do not publish raw email addresses. This prevents "bot-scraping" and protects our advertisers from increased spam.
  • Finality of Placement: To keep our volunteer workload manageable, digital advertisements are fixed once published. We cannot offer ongoing updates or content changes during the placement period.

3. Web Advertising Rates

Prior to the site re-launch on 1st March, we gave a limited availability special offer of an extended 6-month placement on the front page for £50, and £30 for other popular placements. These are limited to no more than one advertiser to a page.

Now that the site has launched, and we have revised our online statistics, this has been adjusted to £60 for the home page and £40 for other pages per season, with effect from Autumn 2026.

Please note that not all pages have been populated with ads and currently contain placeholders. Interest in populating these remaining spots will be offered at the introductory rate, exclusively to existing print advertisers, for the remainder of the Spring term up to the Summer edition release.

4. Conflicts of Interest

The design, hosting, and maintenance of goxhillgander.com is provided free of charge by Goxhill IT.

To respect the primary technical sponsor, the website does not accept advertisements for competing IT Support, PC Repair, or Web Development services. To do otherwise is for Goxhill IT to work and pay for their competitors' marketing.

This does NOT affect print advertising.

Standard Terms of Service

  • Approval: The Web Editor retains final authority on all advertisement placements and visual styling to ensure site accessibility.
  • Liability: Advertisers are responsible for the accuracy of their contact details and the legality of their linked content.
BILLING will be through the Goxhill Gander in the normal way.
