Price picture
Our prices are fair to start with. We have low costs and prefer a number of advertisers of all sizes instead of one or a few major ones. But small, new and of course big customers can ask for a large discount. It depends on spaces left. And maybe you can do something for us? The ad price can be reduced if it adds value to our visitors or occupies less space.
