Subscribers: 489This number is live.
A subscriber is a verified industry participant who receives our print edition. We vet every subscription. That usually means a phone call. After vetting, they appear in the tally above. We do not count complimentary copies or PDF downloads because those could be going to anybody. We do not count copies sent to dive schools (100's per issue) for the same reason. Seems only right.
Setting the price by subscriber count means it changes. We use the mailed subscriber count from the previous issue to give you advance pricing. Subscribers added during the interval between issues are free.
If you know your budget >> Your budget / Inch Rate = Ad size in square inches Figure the price of a certain size ad >> Ad size in square inches x Inch Rate = Price It is possible to get a discount on your first ad if a subscriber recommends us to you. We'll check with them. You get 10% off.
Rate Lock
You can capture a rate for a while by committing to 3 or 6 serial insertions of your ad. If you do this and then don't follow all the way through, you will get an invoice for the difference between the locked-in rate and the actual rate for ads that were part of the agreement.
Eyeball Time
Your ad stays in sight of the reader for considerably longer than a magazine ad because there is a whole lot less page turning. The Dispatch lasts a lot longer than traditional print media. It's waterproof, cleanable, and doesn't tear. A hundred people could read one copy and not wear it out and they will all see your ad. Your ad is gonna look great. Our substrate and printing process yield vivid colors and extremely crisp resolution. It's also very steal-able. Put one in your reception area and see how long it lasts. If you want a small supply for that, let us know.

The map & list are free for current advertisers
We like to connect your map listing to various parts of your website.
Click on a few map entries to see what we mean.
The list is a random sorting of the map popup art, but bigger than the popups.
Both can be filtered by visitors.
Complimentary copies for your customers
You can have us send complimentary copies of the Dispatch to some of your customers, if you like, every time your ad runs.
This is free, but governed by how much your ad costs; 1 comp per $100.
Just tell us who & where.

If you have the art under control, great. If not, we got it. We encourage you to run ads which include instructions / tips for use; ads that teach. You could do a series.

Stock images of Diving are pretty rare on the internet. We hope it helps. The images are all royalty-free. They can also be used on your website.
