Lots of people have mailed and called me, asking for media rating or statistics in Nigeria. I know lots of people are confused as to which newspaper to advertise in and get the best response in Nigeria, I always advice people that it depends on their target market and where they are located. That is why I have taken time today to write on the media statistics you should consider before placing Newspaper Ad in Nigerian Newspapers. These statistics are people’s opinion taken on the street. We are not claiming to be absolute with these figures, but the statistics are from a research firm, that has taken timeout to take surveys from people on the street. We hope you find this information useful. I intend to publish for other media later in the month. You can read about Newspaper Ad and the benefits in Nigeria on this link http://victorariyibi.blogspot.com/2009/04/newspaper-advertising-in-nigeria.html .
If you ever have to place a Newspaper Ad in Nigeria, remember to contact us for their current rates, and the best price anyone can place the advert for you. Enjoy.
