How to Book

How to book an ad in The Hitavada

Three things used to be hard — decide the rate, draft the ad, and book the confirmation. Here's how each works with Riyo Advertising.

PHASE 01
Decide the rate.
Used to need an agent quoting a number you couldn't verify.
Call or WhatsApp 9821984000 with your category, target editions, and date. We quote you the official agency rates with all applicable discounts. Combined four-city bundle discounts and volume/frequency discounts are automatically calculated.
PHASE 02
Draft the ad.
Used to mean a faxed proof, a phone call, a re-fax.
Send a rough draft to info@riyoadvertising.com or WhatsApp. We write, format, and design it the way the paper expects. Obituary: photo of deceased + free artwork. Name change: legal wording drafted from affidavit photocopy. You get a proof of print before publication.
PHASE 03
Release it.
Used to need a trip to a newspaper office.
Pay by UPI, NEFT, card, or cheque. Receive instant confirmation, reference number and GST invoice. Your ad prints on the chosen date, and a scanned PDF tearsheet lands in your email after publication as legal proof.

— The Riyo Advertising desk · Updated for the 2026 rate revision

Booking it, though, was never simple — the published rate card is made up of pages of rules and premiums.

Recruitment Guide

How to Post a Job Ad in The Hitavada

The Hitavada is one of the most trusted English newspapers in Central India, with a large circulation among professionals, teachers, hospitals, government offices, PSUs, manufacturers and corporate employers in Nagpur, Jabalpur, Bhopal, and Raipur. It is especially useful for recruitment in education, healthcare, engineering, government, legal and industrial fields. Getting the execution right is everything.

What to put in the ad:

→ Job title: First two words, not buried in paragraph three.
→ Company name: Company or organisation name, unless it's a confidential search.
→ Qualifications: Key qualifications and years of experience.
→ Location: City, hybrid, or remote. Be specific.
→ Salary range: This matters more than anything else.
→ How to apply: Email, portal link, or phone.

Why your Hitavada job ad isn't getting applications:

✕ Wrong day: Wednesday and Sunday generally pull stronger recruitment responses, especially for education, healthcare, and professional roles.
✕ No salary range: An ad without salary loses 30–40% of qualified candidates immediately.
✕ Wrong edition: A Nagpur vacancy placed only in the Bhopal edition reaches the wrong city entirely. Match the edition to the hiring location. This is the single most common Hitavada booking mistake we fix.
✕ Vague job title: "Assistant Professor — Nagpur — ₹8–12L" gets read. "Staff Needed" gets scrolled past.
✕ Text-only for senior roles: A display ad with your organisation's logo outperforms plain text for executive and institutional recruitment.
✕ Only running once: 2–4 insertions over 3–4 weeks generate far more cumulative response than a single run.

Hiring Intent Seasonality

Jan–Mar: Post-appraisal
Highest job-switch intent period
🔴 HIGH
Jul–Sep: Mid-year surge

⚠️ Legal Compliance Checklist

The Hitavada's editorial team reviews advertisements before publication. To prevent copy rejection:
✕ Avoid age limits ("Below 30 only"). Use "2–5 years experience".
✕ Avoid gender exclusions ("Male only" or titles like "Salesman").
✕ Avoid appearance requirements ("fair complexion", "good-looking").
✕ Avoid regional exclusions ("Locals only").
✕ Avoid misleading titles (dressing up cold-call sales as "executive").

❤ Matrimonial Guide

Sunday is the only day that matters. Reaches Vidarbha and Central India's families.

• Offers: Buy 2 ads, get 2 free insertions. Multi-city: up to 15% off.

• Urgent Release: Same-day/next-day possible. Call 9821984000 directly to confirm cutoff first.

⚖ Public Notice Guide
