Coupons and exclusive offers might be included in these inserts to stimulate reader participation. Depending on the circulation of the newspaper you choose to advertise in, you can control how often your ad appears.
Audience Interaction
Another benefit of local newspaper advertising is that it increases the likelihood that readers will notice your ad, particularly if they are looking for deals. They will read it and potentially respond with a salient suggestion.

Small businesses can advertise in local newspapers at a reasonable cost. The cost of an advertisement varies depending on its size, location, colour use, and circulation of the publication, offering businesses a choice of options to fit their budget. Newspaper ads are less expensive than television, direct mail, or radio ads, and despite rumours that print media is dying, local newspaper advertising is still booming.

Local newspapers tend to target the local geographic market, which means you can efficiently connect with a wide community of people who are likely to buy into your products or services. Cities and metro areas have tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of newspaper readers. Engaging in local newspaper advertising provides you with excellent exposure at a low cost.
