One of India's most-read compact dailies — in one minute.
Mumbai Mirror is the compact daily advertisers in Mumbai ask for by name. It has decades of constant publication, dedicated supplements and city-wide coverage. Reach is not the quality that distinguishes a newspaper classified. It is the reader's purpose. It is a family or business that is actively looking, reading through a section that remains current for the remainder of the week.
Category sub-sections present your ad to the exact target audience you desire, without the clutter of an unfocused online portal. That's why in Mumbai the compact daily isn't optional — it's the medium that the response actually comes from.
Booking it, though, was never simple — the published rate card is made up of thousands of lines. That's the problem Riyo Advertising has solved since 2003: one call to 9821984000 gets the exact rate, 15–35% below counter, free drafting, a proof before print, and the tearsheet after publication.
Mumbai Mirror runs three distinct job sections plus main paper slots. Booking the right section matters as much as the right day. Not sure which fits? Call 9821984000.
