Put your business in front of local readers

iNews gives local businesses a practical way to reach customers through a platform people already use to stay informed about news, events, businesses and services in the area.

From prominent clickable banner advertising and home page ad placement, to affordable year-long classified listings, businesses can choose advertising options designed to increase visibility inside the iNews App while supporting locally produced journalism.



Clickable banner advertising – maximise your reach

Give your business a prominent position inside the iNews App with clickable banner advertising.

Banner adverts appear within the app alongside the content readers are already viewing, creating additional exposure for your brand, products, services or current promotions. Because the banners are clickable, readers can interact with the advert instead of simply scrolling past a static advertisement.

Clickable banners are suitable for:

  • Business and brand awareness
  • Product and service promotions
  • Retail specials
  • Events and campaigns
  • New products or business launches
  • Ongoing advertising campaigns

With readers regularly returning to iNews for local information, banner advertising gives businesses another opportunity to stay visible to their target market.

In-App Home Screen Advertising

Put your business directly in front of iNews readers with a clickable advert displayed on the iNews App home screen.

This placement gives businesses prominent visibility in one of the most frequently viewed areas of the app, placing the advert alongside the latest local news and content as readers browse.

Because the advert is fully clickable, readers can be directed straight to your chosen destination, such as:

  • Your website or online store
  • A specific product or promotional page
  • WhatsApp
  • Facebook or other social media pages
  • An event or booking page
  • Another online destination relevant to your campaign

Home screen advertising is ideal for businesses wanting high-visibility digital exposure, whether promoting a special offer, launching a new product, building brand awareness or running an ongoing advertising campaign.

With prominent placement and a direct call-to-action, iNews home screen adverts help turn local readership into measurable engagement.
