Q: What is the cheapest way to book newspaper ads in India?
By an agency, which is also INS-approved and has a high volume - such as Riyo. The walk-in rate at the newspaper offices is hardly the lowest. Booking newspaper advertisements online is typically the cheapest, although this is typically done through an agency that has a set rate. Multi-city packages save quite a lot of per-edition cost. Do not book editions in individual copies, when you require more than one city.

Yes. And avail themselves of their free drafting service. Name change advertisement in newspapers is a particular legal format - wording of the advertisement is important when Gazette and passport purposes. Publishing again is to get it wrong. Riyo drafting has the right format. Worth saving the ₹500 you may use to replace a reprint.

Q: Does Riyo Advertising offer discounted rates compared to direct newspaper booking?
Generally, yes. Volume rates are offered to INS-accredited agencies. This depends on the publication - I have seen discrepancies of 600-2000 rupees when making single bookings with mid-size regional papers. The rate on newspaper ads is not discounted on all titles, but on most, the rate at which Riyo quotes will be less than a straight walk-in quote. Verify before assuming. Rates shift quarterly.

Q: How do I book a Times of India classified ad online?
In the Riyo platform, choose Times of India. Select your edition (Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore etc.). Pick ad type - classified text or classified display. Write and proofread. Ad booking online is a Times of India classification, so it goes through the same course of action as any other paper in the site. No separate process. No call to the publication required.

Q: Is there an online portal for newspaper classifieds that covers regional papers?
Riyo includes 200+ publications such as vernacular and regional. It is not so easy as it seems to book in Loksatta, Eenadu, or Vijay Karnataka as a first-time advertiser. Internet classifieds newspaper portal - which includes national and regional titles together in a single site - this is the key benefit of using Riyo as opposed to approaching individual papers separately.

Q: What is a public notice ad in a newspaper and how do I place one?
Public notice advertisement is an announcement which is legally necessary to be made - tenders, change of name, winding up of a company, mislaid documents. It must be published in certain publications, one English and one regional title. Request your CA to tell you which ones they need to book. Public notice advertisement in the newspaper through Riyo comes with free drafting of the standard formats. You shouldn’t choose the publication yourself when you are not sure, one missteps of it and you are publishing again.

Q: Can I book ads in regional and vernacular newspapers through a single platform?
Yes. That is one of the primary things that Riyo deals with that most advertisers are not aware of. India Regional newspaper bookings India- Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Hindi titles- everything under one roof. Flow of same checkout, same invoicing. For each publication, no individual negotiations.

Q: What payment methods does Riyo Advertising accept?
UPI, net banking and large credit and debit cards. Invoice generates immediately. No running after someone and asking them to give a receipt.

Q: Does Riyo Advertising offer 24/7 customer support for ad booking?
Yes, via phone and WhatsApp. Make it on a last-minute basis and when it comes to bookings that are deadline sensitive. Do not make your whole media strategy based on it – spend fifteen minutes on the site first, then make a phone call when something is not clear. Riyo Advertising customer care comes in most handy when you have a particular problem that is time-sensitive.

Q: How do I place a property ad in a Mumbai newspaper?
Choose a Riyo publication in Mumbai-edition. In Mumbai, there are options of Hindustan Times Mumbai, Times of India Mumbai, and mid-market regional options. Select classified display when you wish to have a box format with contacts highlighted. Basic listing text works are classified. Don’t fall back to TOI simply because it is the largest - a local language paper in the locality you are advertising might be more serviceable to your buyer.

Q: What are classified display ads and when should I use them?
A classified display ad is a miniature box - typically a box with a border, sometimes a logo or bold heading. It is more expensive than classified writing. Use it to make your job advertisement, property advertisement, or business advertisement to stand out in the classifieds page. To book a classified ad in Mumbai to do legal notices or change of name -do not bother with display. Text is economical and less expensive.
