Founding-advertiser pricing is proposed for a limited number of early advertisers; its exact terms (how many advertisers, how many issues) are still to be decided. Prices have not been benchmarked against market rates and may change once circulation is known.

Who it suits

Businesses that belong to courtship: cafés and restaurants for first meetings, florists, stationers and pen shops, bookshops, record stores, dance studios, jewelers and independent cinemas.

House rules

  • Every advertisement is labeled ADVERTISEMENT.
  • No dating apps, adult services or alcohol-only promotions aimed at singles.
  • Prepaid; artwork due ten days before the issue.
  • Black ink on white, in keeping with the paper.
