So, you own a small business. Perhaps it is as small as it can possibly get: you're self-employed and your only employee is you. Yet, you've still got to get the word out about your business.

"I can't afford advertising," you might think.

Well, Q-Notes has good news for your small business budget.

You can advertise in Q-Notes and reach thousands of LGBT and LGBT-friendly folks across North Carolina and South Carolina twice a month and an endless number of times online for as low as $44 per month.

Among small business, our most popular ads are in our business card section. You can place a business card-sized ad in Q-Notes for as low as $22 per issue. A 12-month contract (26 print issues per year) lands you the $22 per issue price. If you want a shorter contract, sign a 13-issue contract (6 months) and advertise for $26 per issue. Or, sign an event shorter contract (6-issue contract/approx. 3 months) and advertise for $32 per issue.

Larger print display ads start at $60 per issue (1/8 page ad on a 26-issue contract).

Online Advertising
In April 2008, Q-Notes began offering online advertising. Through 2009, our website receives an average of over 23,000 page views and almost 15,000 unique visitors per month!
