Newspaper Details
"I find the ads quite useful, especially for knowing what is on sale and finding new things. I like the ads as much as the news stories and read the classifieds even if I'm not looking for a specific item."
Quote from: "The Newspaper Experience Study" Readership Institute
The Nelson Mail provides the most comprehensive news coverage in the region with a circulation area covering Collingwood to Murchison to Rai Valley and everywhere in between.
For the top-of-the-south - it is where you need to be. The Nelson Mail reaches over half the population: 51 per cent of people in its circulation area every day of the week. Sixty per cent or 44,000 potential customers will read at least one copy of the Nelson Mail every week; omitting the Nelson Mail from a newspaper schedule means you could overlook 38,000 potential customers every day.
The Nelson/Tasman region is an affluent area with 49 per cent of Nelson Mail readers in the top three socio-economic divisions - 13 per cent ahead of the the Nelson population. Eighty eight per cent of Nelson Mail readers are also homeowners.
Every day the Nelson Mail provides coverage of a range of local, national and international news, business and sports, as well as daily features like food and fashion, the arts, entertainment, home and garden, employment, motoring and real estate. All of these provide Nelson Mail advertisers with a sound platform to reach the region and their target markets.
The Nelson Mail for advertising that works.
