Why advertise on Grocott's Mail Online?

Version 2 of Grocott’s Mail Online launched in July 2009 and is visited by hundreds of people every day. It carries a large proportion of content from the print edition, as well as web-exclusive content such as photo galleries and videos. It is the most comprehensive online platform available for people interested in Grahamstown and surrounding areas to be informed on a regularly-updated basis about a variety of matters relating to the region and its people. The site’s users can interact and contribute via voting polls, comments, SMS and submission of their own stories. If you would like to reach a sizeable and relatively high-LSM audience that includes local residents (including students) as well as the wider diaspora of Grahamstown (former residents, parents of schoolchildren, academic community, etc.), Grocott’s Mail Online is the perfect advertising solution.
