The final printed edition of the Somerville Times for 2025 is almost here — and it comes with our biggest end-of-year advertising opportunity yet.
Since our first full publishing year in 2022, STPL News has paused printing over December and January. This break allows us to reset, refine and test new ideas before the next year begins.
This edition is your last chance to get in front of locals before the holiday season, and this year we’re adding unprecedented digital value at no extra cost.
Print + Digital + Daily E-News (All included for two full months)
Every advertiser in the upcoming November/December edition will receive:
- A print ad in 10,000 copies of the Somerville Times
- Placement across key new sections on stplnews.com.au
- Inclusion in our daily e-news bulletin sent to almost 7,000 subscribers
All digital and e-news placements run for two full months, completely free with your print booking.
This combined print + digital + inbox exposure delivers unmatched reach across Somerville, the Mornington Peninsula and the Frankston region.
Why This Offer Works
Research shows that:
- As digital platforms become overcrowded, 62% of marketers now rely on print to break through digital fatigue
- Businesses combining print and digital achieve up to 28% higher conversions and 450% higher response rates
- Integrating print with digital calls-to-action (like QR codes) can boost engagement by around 20%
Print builds trust.
Digital builds reach.
Inbox placement builds frequency.
Together, they outperform any single medium on its own — especially for local businesses.
