How our rates work

Once-off placementYour listing or advert goes live on The Cape Chronicle and stays published. There are no further updates and no ongoing promotion. Ideal if you want to test the waters before committing.
Contract (6 or 12 months)An added monthly fee covering continuous promotion by our team, including regular cross-posting and re-posting of your content across our channels, so your business stays visible well beyond the first term.

The original placement stays on our pages either way, but only contract clients receive ongoing promotion.
