Advertise
The Coventry Pulse lands in local inboxes every Monday and Thursday at 8.30am. If you run a venue, café, shop or small business anywhere in the CV postcode area, we'd love to help people find you. Every ad carries a clear label, so readers can always tell it apart from our own listings. Rates are the same whether you're in Coventry city centre or Shipston-on-Stour. We're new, so we're offering founding rates for our first three months, and we'll share audience figures once we have real ones. Drop Della Burns a line at ads@ and she'll talk you through it.
Headline sponsor
£40 per issue
Our biggest ad, and there's only one per issue. You get a headline, a short message, an image and a link in a block of its own, labelled "Ad · Sponsored by" with your business name.
Featured card
£20 per issue
A card that looks like our listings and sits in the body of the issue, with a short message, an image and a link. We run no more than two per issue, each labelled "Ad · Sponsored by" with your business name.
Listing boost
£10 per listing
Got an event at a CV-area venue? A listing boost highlights it on its day in the Thursday guide, with "Ad · Sponsored by" and your business name on the event card itself. Up to three per issue. Scott Kendall still fact-checks the event as usual.
Founding rates for our first three months. Same rates anywhere in the CV postcode area.
What we don't take
We never take political ads. We also refuse gambling, betting and lotteries (including charity lotteries and raffles), payday and high-cost credit, crypto and speculative investments, tobacco and vaping, adult content, weapons, unsupported health claims, multi-level marketing and anything misleading. Pubs, bars and clubs are welcome to advertise their events, food, quizzes and gigs. Drinks-led ads, such as happy hours, can't run yet, and nothing alcohol-related may appeal to under-18s.
We aim to reply within two working days.
