Policies

PLACEMENT
First come best dressed but there are no bad pages in TCP because there is no "filler" or advertising disguised as editorial. The Coastal Passage is content rich and enjoys a high degree of respect from readers. If you have a large ad order and feel you need a special arrangement, contact Bob.

PRODUCTION ASSISTANCE
If layout is straight forward, or delivered ready for press, there is no charge for production. If the ad copy requires significant preparation, we will notify of any additional charge upon receipt of copy. Submitting ad material that requires our production infers acceptance that the ad is copyright of The Coastal Passage, and may not be used in other publications without prior consent of The Coastal Passage.

DEADLINE
Reserve space as soon as possible. Ad material requiring our production help should be 2 weeks minimum, in advance of print. After reserving space, a "camera ready" ad should be submitted at least a week prior to print. If we can find a place for them, we can sometimes accept ads even later, but without a proof available.

PAYMENT
Display ads: An invoice will be sent at print date and payment in full is due from invoice within 15 business days for approved open and repeat accounts. . Absolutely no ad will be re-run if there is an amount outstanding on the account. As noted in above rate schedule, heavy discounts apply for pre-payment.

Web Edition, the original and leader. Current distribution over 60,000 per edition. (2011 average to date)

Since 2006, the only Australian marine publication where a reader can download an entire edition free without registration or other data collection. The TCP web edition is usually enhanced with additional material. Your ads go everywhere and no one misses the latest because of being between ports. Ads from the print edition are usually placed free of charge in the "E" version for regular accounts.

"Good News From TCP Advertisers"

For regular advertisers of 1/8th page or larger, editorial space may be made available for product information or other news relating to the products or services provided by the advertiser. This is clearly indicated as advertiser provided material using the title "Good News From TCP Advertisers" and is inserted at the discretion of the editor, space allowing and content as approved.

Right of Refusal

TCP reserves the right to decline advertising that in the opinion of the publisher, does not serve the interests of the community it represents or any other reason.
