Advertising Rates

Our reasonable advertising rates enable advertisers to reap the rewards of repeat advertising—the strategy that delivers their message to a broader audience, reaches new customers over a period of time and establishes top-of-mind awareness among their target consumers. The most effective way of building awareness is sustained advertising.

Custom Designed Advertisements

We at ZOOM pride ourselves in striving towards a high level of design quality in our pages. We also apply the same attention to detail and design to all advertising materials, whether they are submitted by advertisers or designed by ZOOM graphic designers. Submitted ad materials are subject to our creative director’s approval to ensure that they meet our design standards and pre-press specifications. For more information on print-ready file specifications, please contact us.

Market Directory

Our Market Directory is an advertising section which follows a standard layout. The directory is divided into different sections: The Hub (general products and services), Artsense (art-related services), Flavours (food related services), and soon… Havens (accommodations, resorts, spas and the like) and Clicks (web-based businesses and resources).  Advertising in the directory is affordable and allows businesses to have continued presence in ZOOM, an advertising approach that helps increase customers’ retention of business brands and services. In order for the directory to look attractive and uncluttered, a grid style is used with standard typography and a set of rules on photo or logo sizes is strictly followed.

Preferred Placement & Bleeds

The decision on where to place your ad in the magazine is completely at the discretion of ZOOM’s editor. If you wish your ad to be placed in a specific location (ex. top right side of page 5), an additional 25% preferred placement fee will be applied to your advertising rate.

ZOOM allows for bleeds (where the ad goes to the edge of the page) for full page ads only.
