Thank you... for your interest in advertising with the Canyon Lake Times Guardian. We offer two weekly publications, the Times Guardian and The Advisor -- and our Web site, as well as a number of special publications, such as the 2007 Relocation & Visitor Guides (published once a year, also includes the Canyon Lake Chamber Directory). To the right is an explanation of how to advertise in the Times Guardian and The Advisor. Please call our office at (830) 907-3882 for information on the other publications. Circulation: The Times Guardian has a paid circulation of about 3,000. The circulation for The Advisor, which is direct-mailed free to homes at Canyon Lake, as well as throughout central, and western Comal County, is 16,000. Both publications are distributed on Wednesdays. Deadline: Retail advertising deadline is noon on Friday. Classified deadline is 3 p.m. Friday. Holiday deadlines may vary.		(Effective Aug. 2007) Retail advertising rates: What are retail ads? These ads run in the "front" section of the newspaper and are primarily used by businesses and organizations to advertise sales specials, new services and major fundraising events--or just to get or keep their name and services in public view. Classified ads run in the back, in a classified section (see below). How are retail ads measured? Ads are measured in column inches by multiplying the width (number of columns wide) by the height (inches tall). Column widths: One column is 1.833 inches wide; two columns total 3.792 inches wide; three columns are 5.75 wide; and an ad that is six columns wide measures 11.625 inches. What size ad can you build? We can build any size ad you need, from a 2 col. by 2 inch ad, which is about the size of a business card, to a full page.
