Divya Bhaskar (Charming Sun) is a Gujarati daily newspaper launched on 23 June 2003 from Ahmedabad with a world record sale of 4,52,000. Now, with editions spread to also Baroda, Surat, Rajkot, Jamnagar, Mehsana, Bhuj and Bhavnagar (as Saurashtra Samachar) and Junagadh (as Sorath Bhaskar) – more editions than any other newspaper in the state – it has become India’s largest circulated Gujarati daily with a circulation of 11 lakh. So, wherever you are in India needing to promote your goods, services and/or events in Gujarat, put Divya Bhaskar on the top of your list. But remember that each edition has a different rate although combining editions (e.g. Ahmedabad + Surat) can reduce overall costs.
Book ads in Divya Bhaskar: As with all other newspapers, Divya Baskar offers several categories. These include Matrimonial (Brides and/or Grooms Wanted), Property (real estate for sale, lease and/or to let, Situations Vacant, Education, Public Notice, Change of Name, Lost and Found, Business, Retail, Tenders, Medical, Services, Astrology, Motor Vehicles, Obituary and Remembrance. Each category has a different cost and some also have discounts from time to time.
Also like other newspapers, Divya Bhaskar has a robust classified section which carries:
Divya Bhaskar Classified Text ads: These ads are in black and white text limited to five lines. Crossing that limit costs more. At extra cost, such enhancements as colour, tick, bold and screen can be added. The ads are charged by the word.
Divya Bhaskar Classified Display ads: These ads cost more as they are charged on a square centimetre basis. They can be in B&W or colour text formats with eye-catching features for enhancing the design with images. You can also compose the ad text directly online by simple templates. You can also upload the ads in PDF/JPEG/EPS formats.
Divya Bhaskar Display ads: These are the most expensive of the three formats in which ads can be placed in Divya Bhaskar. There are no limitations on the size, colours or pages – or even the positions on each page. The only restriction is the budget since these ads are also charged on a square centimetre basis.
