LONG-TERM ‘TOWN CRIER’ CALENDAR LISTINGS in THE DEDHAM TIMES

The Town Crier calendar section of The Dedham Times offers a great way to get your message to a wide audience affordably. The Dedham Times is a print and online newspaper serving several thousand readers in the Boston suburb of Dedham, Massachusetts. Listings can be for a specific upcoming event such as a group’s annual party, or on a more ongoing basis such as for a bottle & can collection for a school PTO.

We offer 3 levels of packages for the Town Crier: 51 weeks, 26 weeks, and 12 weeksas follows:

a. 51 weeks = $465.00, which comes out to $9.12 per week.

b. 26 weeks = $270.00, which comes out to $10.48 per week.

c. 12 weeks = $143.00, which comes out to $11.92 per week.

Word limit is 80. We ask the client to email the desired wording to by 5 p.m. Tuesday of the first week, three days before our Friday publication. We will create a free heading of up to 10 words based on the content of the listing.

The same wording can run each week during a series, or the client can update the wording as frequently as desired. We ask the client to email the wording in publishable form to by 5 p.m. Tuesday of the week in question. The content of listings can change as often as the advertiser wants.

Payments must be made in advance. Practically speaking, we can wait until after the first listing runs, but we insist on having payment before the second listing runs. For our purposes ‘before’ means by 5 p.m. Tuesday three days in advance of when the second listing runs.

Note that Town Crier listings are generally text-only and black-and-white. If you would like an image or photo to appear with the listing, there may be an additional charge. Also if you would like a listing to be longer than 80 words that is possible, but that would cost extra. Please contact our office at 781-329-5553 or with any related questions or concerns.
