A. Ads2Publish is an officially authorized Tribune advertising partner. We have been authorized by Tribune since 2006, hold a current authorization letter from the newspaper, and have served more than 2.5 lakh customers over two decades.

Our booking system is directly connected to Tribune's advertisement inventory, so you see official live rates, your ad goes straight to the newspaper for editorial approval and printing, and you receive an official invoice. There is no middleman involved.

A. Authorized advertising partners have always been part of how newspapers sell advertising. Tribune receives a very large volume of enquiries, and partners like us give each advertiser the individual attention their booking needs.

Our team is trained in Tribune ad booking and helps you choose the right category, edition, and schedule for your requirement, with free ad design and assistance included. Our online platform, built on two decades of experience, lets you book in a few minutes. We also bring Tribune new advertisers: many people come to us unsure which newspaper to choose, and we recommend Tribune wherever its reach suits their need.

A. We never charge more than Tribune's official rates, and in most cases you pay less. The rates on our platform are fetched directly from Tribune's advertisement inventory, and on every booking we guarantee 5% to 25% off the official rate card, depending on your category and ad type.

Classified Text ads get an extra 5% discount and Classified Display ads an extra 10%. Use the promo code PROMO2013 on the booking preview page to claim the classified discount. The discount is shown to you upfront, before you pay.

We do not add a service charge or convenience fee. Tribune pays us a commission for every booking, and that covers our costs, including free ad design and assistance.

A. Yes. For multi-city bookings, you get 50% off when you book more than 3 editions of Tribune. For Matrimonial ads, you can also book combo packages that publish your ad in Tribune together with Dainik Tribune and Punjabi Tribune at a lower combined price.

For display ads, the discount depends on the ad size and number of insertions, and ranges from 15% to 30%.

As a high-volume Tribune partner, we get specially negotiated rates and pass the savings on to you, including on small ads.

A. All Tribune ads must be paid for in advance. You can pay online by UPI, credit or debit card (Visa, Mastercard, and Amex), popular wallets, or internet banking, or offline by bank transfer or cash deposit into our bank account.

We charge nothing extra for any payment method and bear the payment gateway charges ourselves.

A. Yes. As soon as your payment is complete, our system emails you the booking confirmation along with a GST invoice. The invoice shows your GSTIN, the HSN/SAC code, and the full tax breakdown, so you can claim GST input credit.

A. No. You can view Tribune ad rates, compose your ad, and check the cost without signing up or logging in. We ask for your details, such as mobile number, email, and address, only at the payment stage, so we can send your booking confirmation and invoice.

A. Yes. About 25% of our Tribune bookings are done over WhatsApp. Message us on +91 81210 03003 and our team will ask a few simple questions, such as your ad category, ad type, and ad details. They will then draft the ad and share a booking summary and ad preview.

Once you approve, you receive a payment link and can pay by UPI or any other payment option. Your booking confirmation and GST invoice arrive by email and on WhatsApp. You don't even need to visit our website.

A. You make two choices: the category and the ad type. The category should match the subject of your ad, such as Matrimonial, Property, Recruitment, or Business, because an ad placed under the wrong category may be rejected by the newspaper.

The ad type depends on your content and purpose: Classified Text is a simple text ad and the most economical option, Classified Display appears in the classified pages with a border, logo, or image for more visibility, and a Display Ad is a larger ad on the main pages, suited to branding and announcements.

The lowest-cost option is not always the right one, since some ads get a better response in a particular type. If you are unsure, contact our ad specialists before you start booking and they will guide you to the right option.

A. Sunday is the most popular day for classifieds in Tribune, so most categories get their best response that day. A few categories have their own best days: Matrimonial ads appear in the Tribune Matrimonial feature: Wanted Bride ads on Saturday and Wanted Groom ads on Sunday. Property ads do best on Saturday and Sunday. Recruitment ads do best on Wednesday and Sunday.

Business, Obituary, Name Change, Lost and Found, and Public Notice ads can be published on any day. When you book, the calendar highlights the suggested days and focus days for your category, so you can choose with confidence.

A. Tribune's official booking deadline is two days before the publishing date. With Ads2Publish, you get extra time: we have special permission to accept bookings until 6:00 PM on the day before publication, for all days of the week.

A. Choose Classified Display or Display Ad as your ad type. Both are charged per square centimetre and allow images and logos. Classified Text ads are plain text only, so special characters and symbols are not accepted, but you can add enhancements such as bold text, a tick mark, a border, or colour to help them stand out.

Upload your image or logo while composing the ad, or share it with our team on WhatsApp and we will design the ad for you free of charge.
