  • Where can I find ad pricing and what discounts may be available?

    The ad sizes and pricing can be very confusing, please give J.J. a call at (936) 295-8116 and he will be happy to go over them with you. Placement of advertising ads is at the sole discretion of the Publisher, and specific locations cannot be guaranteed.
    There are discounts available for advertising runs lasting 13 weeks or longer.
    The front page advertisements are a specific size and ad placement on the front page is determined by seniority by continuous  time advertising in TIDBITS®936. These ads are all designed with 'Spot' Color and are rotated on a weekly basis.

  • Why doesn't TIDBITS®936 offer larger ads on the front page?

    The restrictions placed by the franchising company, Tidbits Media, Inc. for the paper, limit the front page ads to the specific sizing on either side of the informational printing. The informational printing on the remaining pages may be adjusted to either the right or left and allows for the larger ads up to a  full page in width. And now with the ability to add inserted pages, you can expand your ad size on the middle pages to any size you like, including a full 20w"x 16h" center spread.

  • Who determines where my ad will be located in TIDBITS®936 each week?

    Every effort will be made to accommodate every advertiser in making sure that their ad is in a location where they requested. However, due to the limitations for ad placement by the franchising company, Tidbits Media, Inc. and for the placement of certain special features that are vital in making TIDBITS®936 what it is, advertising may be relocated as required. Advertising space on the Front Page is very limited and at a higher rate. Eligibility or placement of advertising on the Front Page is determined by continuous advertising seniority.

  • What is the purpose of TIDBITS®936 and as an advertiser what should I expect for my money?

    TIDBITS®936 is a locally owned, locally distributed entertainment tabloid offering readers light and interesting reading and advertisers a unique vessel to reach multiple target markets. 3,000 copies of the paper are distributed on a weekly basis to over 100 locations throughout the Walker County area and regularly read by everyone from the students at HHS and Sam Houston State, the employees of TDCJ-ID, the business owners in Walker County, their employees, and residents of several of the retirement communities in the greater Huntsville Area.

    During the distribution each week, a log is maintained and computer records are kept, showing how many papers are placed at each location and how many are returned from the prior weeks delivery. The return rate is calculated each week and every effort is made to maintain it below 15%. Any time that it is determined that a larger percentage of available papers are being returned each week, an adjustment is made to the delivery totals and the additional papers are moved to a more advantageous location.
