How does DH classified display pricing compare to TOI Bangalore?

Deccan Herald display ads cost between INR 80 and INR 150 per sq cm, making them way more affordable than Times of India Bangalore rates. This makes DH a great choice for advertisers; it offers high ROI when targeting the city’s educated professionals, all while keeping costs low.

Newspaper Classified Display Rate Audience Profile Cost Efficiency
Deccan Herald Bangalore INR 80 – 150/sq cm Established professionals, govt, academics High ROI
Times of India Bangalore INR 400 – 700/sq cm Mass urban readership Higher volume
The Hindu Bangalore Per line (INR 60–110) Academic, research community Different format
TNIE Bangalore Per word (INR 40–70) IT professionals, general Different format

Which day is best to publish a DH Classified Ad?

Most DH categories pick Sunday because of its flagship supplement DH Spectrum, which boasts the biggest readership and longevity of any Sunday offering. For recruitment ads, Wednesday works great. Monday is perfect for education ads. Legal and personal notices do well on any weekday since the specific day of high readership isn't vital for them.

Ad Category Best Day Reason
Matrimonial Sunday DH Spectrum — peak family readership
Recruitment Wednesday and Sunday Professional audience + Spectrum reach
Property Saturday and Sunday Weekend serious buyer browsing
Education Monday and Sunday Student Edition + general reach
Lifestyle / Brand Sunday DH Spectrum premium audience
Obituary Any day Daily section, concessional rates
Name Change Any weekday Legal validity — day independent
Tender / Public Notice Any day Institutional readers check daily
Lost & Found Any day Urgent daily notices

What enhancements are available for DH Classified Text Ads?

Deccan Herald classified ads get a boost with bold text, tick marks, colored backgrounds, and borders. These highlight the ads but come with extra fees. The added perks make a big difference in a crowded ad section. For matrimonial and job ads, Riyo Advertising insists on using bold text and tick marks.

Enhancement Visual Effect Additional Cost Recommended For
Bold text Headline stands out Small surcharge Matrimonial, recruitment
Tick marks (✔) Key points highlighted Small surcharge Recruitment, education
Colour background Ad highlighted in colour Moderate surcharge High-competition categories
Border box Ad visually boxed Small surcharge Personal, legal notices

What classified ad categories are available in Deccan Herald?

When should I choose classified text vs classified display in DH?

Use Classified Text When Use Classified Display When
Name change / legal notice Matrimonial with photo
Lost and found Recruitment with company logo
Simple personal announcement Property with image
Budget is very limited Education with institution branding
Legal validity is the goal Response rate is the goal

Riyo Advertising's recommendation: Legal and personal notices work well with plain classified texts,they are affordable and get the job done. But for ads needing quality responses, go for classified display in DH. It costs between INR 80 and 150 per square centimeter, making it super affordable compared to other English papers in Bangalore.
