Advertising for businesses
Banners are booked from the advertiser cabinet: you choose the format, the sections, the period, the geography and how you pay. The price is worked out on the spot, before you pay.
The price follows how many people you reach
The card price is for the whole country. Choose a narrower place and the price falls with the square root of the population share it covers. Top banner on the front page, 30 days:
| Where it runs | Population | Price |
|---|---|---|
| All of Kazakhstan | 20.8 m | 135,000 ₸ |
| Almaty | 2.2 m | 44,145 ₸ |
| Astana | 1.2 m | 32,926 ₸ |
| Kostanay region | 834,000 | 27,000 ₸ |
| Kostanay | 276,000 | 15,538 ₸ |
| Kachar | 9,600 | 2,889 ₸ |
Not straight proportion, because a banner on a place’s pages is seen by more than that place’s residents, and reviewing, scheduling and serving a booking costs the same whatever its reach. The minimum price of an order is 2,000 ₸.
We are half the price of comparable outlets. Nasha Gazeta in Kostanay charges 54,000 ₸ for a month at the top of its front page — and its entire audience is that one region. The same month from us, targeted at that region, is 27,000 ₸. Nationwide we ask 135,000 ₸ against the roughly 257,000 ₸ a month of a rubric banner costs on cifrum.kz.
What you are buying. The banner runs on the pages of the chosen place and of every place inside it, for the whole booked period. Take Kostanay region and Kostanay city and Kachar are included. No number of impressions is promised: that depends on what readers do. Nor do we determine where a reader is — the targeting is by what a page is about, not by who is looking at it.
Population: the country from the World Bank, regions from Wikidata, each with the year it was counted. The live figures and the full calculation are in the advertiser cabinet.
All prices are in tenge and may change. We announce changes in advance.
