Payment
Launch bookings are handled manually. Email ads@thespall.ca. Once the booking is accepted, The Spall will confirm the start date and send e-transfer payment instructions. Payment is due before the campaign begins.
The $30 rate is for one seven-day run. Future rates may change as readership develops; a confirmed booking keeps the rate agreed at booking.
What we don't accept
The Spall does not accept candidate, political-party or election-campaign advertising. We may also reject advertising that is deceptive, unlawful, materially misleading, or inconsistent with the publication's standards.
Editorial independence
Buying an ad does not buy coverage, influence, favourable treatment or advance knowledge of editorial work. Advertisers and non-advertisers are treated the same by the newsroom.
