For a long time, many people have read the newspaper to get updates on current events in their place and even world wide. These days, televisions and social media networks are slowly replacing the newspaper on relaying news to people. Publishing companies find it hard enough to sell their newspapers because of it.

It will always be a challenge for a publisher or an editor on how they will do marketing. Before doing any newspaper marketing, one has to carefully think of ideas on how to market it. Doing the right marketing step will help their newspapers convey information to a lot of people.

Newsstands or kiosks would be a very useful tool in promoting your paper. Have your news stands situated on places where there is a great amount of traffic or in areas where you are sure there will be people who would pass by. Situate them in commercial places like a mall. Have a few of it set up on train stations and bus stops. Place some attractive and noticeable signs on it. If there are those which only sells your gazette, have them painted with matching colors to your newspaper. Its seller can wear shits with the logo of your paper.

You can make suggestions to your writing staff that they should make an account on any social media network. This is a way to share to others how great your staff could be. There are those who are not fascinated on current events but also find interest on what others do. Make sure that you also create an official account for your paper. Use the existence of social media to your advantage.

You can have a section inside it that contains testimonials from your advertisers. These testimonials are ads in which they talk about how their business has grown or succeeded after advertising on your paper. From these testimonials, other advertisers will be convinced or would also like to place their ads on your list.

Some publishing companies are using fake names in the testimonials. Still, it is more persuasive if the ones featured are stories from real people. Do these feature as many times as you can to persuade other advertisers too.

Organizing some contests is also another step to promoting your paper. Hold regular story writing contests and tell them that you would be publishing the winning story. There is no need to announce to them which winning story you would publish so that they will have to buy and read your gazette on a regular basis.

You can ask the owners of the establishments who placed their ads on your published product to place a sign of your newspaper outside their stores. They would always be willing to do this. They also want people to see the ads they have paid for in your paper.

A newspaper is one of the mediums that we use to keep ourselves updated. With advanced technology these days, one can easily browse the internet to read for updates. Making the appropriate steps on promoting your gazette would help you catch up with technology.
