AWOL ad costs slashed!
hua hin, THAILAND There is a distinct lack of local news this week, so we are taking the opportunity to let you, our readers and in particular our current and potential advertisers, know that our bi-annual price review has just been completed for all our advertising options. We are acutely aware that almost everyone has been forced to be a little more careful with their money in recent months, and that there are many individuals, families and businesses that are struggling for a number of reasons, but particularly the drops experienced in tourism numbers, resulting in less customers and lower incomes. Advertising is, unfortunately, one of the first casualties of business belt tightening, and here at AWOL we have witnessed this first hand. Because of this, the temptation by many would be to raise prices to compensate for the lost trade, but we are doing the very opposite; over half of our price points have gone down and none have increased, in the hope that more of the businesses out there can at the very least consider placing an advert with us. You can find a few more details about our price reductions on page 9, but by the time this issue hits the streets our updated Media Guide will be available to anyone who wants it either by emailing us on sales@awolonline.net, calling or texting us on 081 649 8361, as well as available to download from our website, www.awolonline.net. We are also in the process of installing a system on our website allowing advertisers to book and pay for print display adverts online, enabling the use of debit and credit cards as well as bank transfers and cash. We believe that an advert in AWOL pays for itself many times over, and we hope that our lower prices will encourage you to give us a try. And we ask you to speak to some of those who do advertise with us to get their opinion.
