Classified Advertising

::

Classified advertising is the lowest-cost way to advertise in the Heights Observer. Classified ads are printed in black-and-white, and grouped together in a single area of the newspaper.

The Heights Observer is published monthly. You may purchase classified ads for a term ranging from 1 to 12 months. The longer the term, the lower the cost per month.

Payment for classified ads is due when an order is placed. We accept payment by check or credit card.

For terms of 3-12 months, you may elect to pay in full or for 3 months at a time.

The Heights Observer is an efficient way to reach your core local audience and strengthen your customer base. 

The Heights Observer is volunteer-based, with all content written, submitted and edited by members of the community. A community-building project of non-profit FutureHeights, its goals are to:
  • Encourage citizen engagement
  • Foster dialogue about issues that are important to the community
  • Create an environment that's mindful and supportive of the independent businesses that serve Cleveland Heights and University Heights

All proceeds from publishing are returned to the community in the form of programming by FutureHeights. So advertising is not only good for your business, its a good deed.
