A friendly, knowledgable local person will be happy to help you get the best marketing Southern Utah area has to offer at the best value. Here's some great updated information on our publications:
WHY ADVERTISE IN THE INDEPENDENT?
• The Independent, now in its 16th year of being southern Utah's premier arts and entertainment publication, has the largest readership of any free newspaper in the area & is the BEST source to find out what's new and happening in the greater southern Utah area.
• Cost per impression is less than any other medium in our area, starting at just 3/10ths of a cent! That's for a very high quality print, and graphic design is included at no extra charge. We pride ourselves on accuracy, quality and customer service...our keys to success!
• Our readership is exploding! We have added over 60 new distribution locations and increased the readership by over 50% in the last year! As of May 2011 we distribute 20,000 copies to over 325 locations in St. George, Cedar City, Washington, Santa Clara, Hurricane, Virgin, Rockville, Springdale, Kanab, Brian Head, Beaver, Ivins, Parowan, Utah, Fredonia & Littlefield, Arizona and Mesquite, Nevada each month! Each individually picked up copy has the likelihood to be read by more than one person - based on national averages we estimate our readership at between 30,000 and 34,000 people each month!
WHY ADVERTISE IN CLIP-N-SAVE?
• Clip-n-Save is a coupon-based Direct Mailer and Insert for the Southern Utah (St. George & Cedar City UT) & Mesquite, Nevada areas. It is mailed each month to all the homes in Washington & Iron Counties in Utah and Mesquite, Nevada/Littlefield, Arizona, in rotation. That's to say currently (May 2011) we are mailing to 18,000 residential addresses each month between all of those areas, and over the course of about 3 months all of the homes in all areas are delivered to at once.
• In addition to the direct mailed copies it is also included as an insert with each copy of The Independent. As mentioned above, it is available at over 325 Southern Utah area locations. The direct mail component continues to build the on-the-street distribution of both publications, as many people pickup The Independent with Clip-n-Save after first receiving the Clip-n-Save in the mail at their home.
• As the third component of the distribution all ads in the Clip-n-Save are posted online at SUindependent.com. As you'll read below this website is a high-ranking and content-rich resource to St. George and Surrounding areas. All three methods of distribution are included for one low price.
