Why Choose Us

Why Book Your Bombay Times Ad With Us?

Bombay Times has its own editorial identity, audience psychology, and advertising placement logic. To avoid wasting your advertising budget, it is important to understand where your ad should appear and what type of readers are viewing that section.

We’ve handled 10,000+ Bombay Times ad bookings. Here’s what that experience means for you:

We Understand Which Pages Convert

A fashion brand on Page 3 performs differently from the same creative on an inside page. A Bollywood film promotion requires different timing than a restaurant launch or nightlife event. We help you select the best page, placement, and publication date based on your actual campaign goal.

🎨

Free Ad Design Guidance

Bombay Times is visually driven. If your creative looks weak, readers will skip it alongside celebrity and fashion content. We advise you on layout, ad sizing, visuals, and creative direction to ensure your ad stands out.

💰

Agency-Level Rates

We access Bombay Times inventory at agency pricing and pass those discounts directly to you. Multi-insertion campaigns and category-specific packages help reduce your overall advertising cost.

📅

Campaign Scheduling & Deadline Management

Bombay Times follows strict daily deadlines. Missing a publication date can affect your product launch, movie release, event promotion, or campaign timing. We manage all deadlines and confirm publication schedules in advance.

📄

Dedicated Support Until Publication

We track your booking until the ad is published. After publication, we send a scanned tearsheet (proof of publication) within 48–72 hours automatically. For legal and statutory notices, this serves as your official compliance proof.

Understanding Bombay Times

What Is Bombay Times?

Bombay Times is the daily entertainment and lifestyle supplement of the Mumbai edition of The Times of India. It covers Bollywood, celebrities, fashion, nightlife, dining, luxury brands, events, and Mumbai’s Page 3 culture.

Most Times of India readers actively open and read Bombay Times first. This is highly engaged readership — not passive readership. Readers spend significant time with this supplement every day, making it one of the strongest advertising environments for fashion, entertainment, luxury, hospitality, nightlife, premium retail, and celebrity-driven campaigns.

Pricing Guide

Understanding Bombay Times Ad Pricing

Bombay Times display advertising is priced on a per sq cm basis. Your final ad cost depends on the selected page, ad dimensions, placement, and campaign frequency.

📐

How Pricing Works

Bombay Times pricing is calculated using:

Width (cm) × Height (cm) × Rate Per Sq Cm

Example: A 20 cm × 10 cm ad equals 200 sq cm.

If booked on Page 3 at ₹3,600/sq cm, the base cost becomes:

200 × ₹3,600 = ₹7,20,000

As an authorised agency partner, Riyo Advertising provides discounted effective rates lower than standard base pricing.

Key Cost Factors

📰

Page Position

Front Page ads command the highest rates because every reader sees them immediately. Page 3 and Back Page placements are also premium. For long-running campaigns, inside pages provide the best value.

Front Page ₹4,890/sq cm
Page 3 ₹3,600/sq cm
Back Page ₹3,530/sq cm
Inside Page ₹2,955/sq cm
📏

Ad Size

Larger ads naturally attract stronger reader attention. The minimum size of 100 sq cm already creates a noticeable presence in Bombay Times.

Quarter page and half page ads allow better storytelling, especially for fashion, lifestyle, luxury, and real estate campaigns.

🎨

Colour vs. Black & White

Bombay Times is a highly visual colour supplement. Black & white ads often look weak compared to surrounding editorial content.

Full-colour creatives are strongly recommended for maximum visibility and brand recall.

📅

Frequency & Volume

Single insertions are ideal for movie launches, events, and short-term campaigns.

Multi-insertion campaigns create significantly stronger brand recall and receive better volume discounts.

Types of Advertisements in Bombay Times

1. Variable Size Display Ads

This is a very flexible format. The exact size is chosen by you. Size should be greater than 100 sq.cm. The team will cost you a fee per sq cm of your page. These ads are great for brand building, product launches, and real estate projects. They are also ideal for fashion advertisements that require a special design.

2. Fixed Size Display Ads

The size of these ads is standard newspaper size. You can select Quarter Page, Half Page or Full Page. Your team will find it easy to engage in design work thanks to these fixed sizes. They are aware of what numbers to place in which spaces. This is ideal for corporate brandings, luxury brands and movie promotions.

3. Jacket Ads

This is the highest quality paper option. The supplement's front is wrapped by a Jacket Ad. Your brand is visible to readers before they see any news stories. All readers read it first. Ideal for a big release of a film, a large product release or a large luxury brand.

4. Skybus Ads

This is a horizontal strip on the very top of the front page. It is the first ad that readers will see on opening the paper. The ads on Skybus are unique in that they draw a viewer's attention immediately. The option is best suited for sales events, tight deadlines and immediate brand announcements.

5. Pointer Ads

Advertisements on the front page of the site are small ads. They're very effective because they are at the top. Pointer Ads are paid ads that can be placed in the front page for cheap. Display website links, telephone numbers or instant service changes.

6. Classified Advertisements

The ads are simple text ads in the back section. They are budget-friendly and efficient for small budgets. Job posts, rental ads and local services work well with these classified ads. Don't use them for a large brand impact.

⚠️ Ads That Are NOT Ideal for Bombay Times

Bombay Times is a lifestyle and entertainment supplement, not a legal or government publication.

Avoid placing the following ad categories here:

  • Legal notices
  • Name change advertisements
  • Government tenders
  • Court notices
  • Statutory public notices

These categories perform much better in the main newspaper edition rather than the Bombay Times supplement.

Category Best Day(s) Why
Fashion / Lifestyle / Brand Saturday & Sunday Highest readership; weekend browsing drives purchase decisions
Bollywood / Film Promotion Day Before Release Maximum urgency and relevance during release weekend
Real Estate Saturday & Sunday Weekend property browsing; families plan site visits
Restaurants / Events Thursday & Friday Helps drive weekend footfall and reservations
Appointment / Recruitment Wednesday & Sunday Strong engagement from active job seekers
Education Monday & Sunday Start-of-week attention plus high Sunday family readership
Corporate / Brand Building Any Day Consistent frequency matters more than one-time placement
Luxury / Premium Products Saturday & Sunday Affluent Mumbai consumers are most receptive on weekends
