Trusted For Over 30 Years
For three decades, The Perkolator has been a familiar and welcomed part of communities across Ontario. Its recognizable look, engaging content, humour, puzzles, and local feel instantly capture attention. Many advertisers stay with us for years because they know it works — and our readership continues to grow.
Content People Actually Enjoy
The Perkolator is designed for everyone. Our all-ages, family-friendly publication is picked up and read in restaurants, waiting rooms, shops, and gathering places throughout the region. People don’t just glance at it — they spend time with it.
Positive Content In A Negative World
People are overwhelmed by negativity. The Perkolator offers something different: humour, uplifting stories, engaging features, and light-hearted entertainment that readers genuinely look forward to. Your business becomes associated with that positive experience every time someone picks up an issue.
Affordable Advertising That Gets Remembered
Effective advertising doesn’t have to break the budget. The Perkolator offers affordable advertising options for businesses of every size, with flexible commitments designed to fit your goals. Because of our unique format and loyal readership, your ads don’t just get seen — they get remembered.
Regionally Targeted Marketing
Why pay to advertise where your customers aren’t? The Perkolator allows you to target the exact regions you want to reach throughout Central and Northern Ontario, with expansion continuing into new markets. Your message reaches local readers where they live, work, dine, and relax.
Local Reach With Online Exposure
Your advertising goes beyond print. Every advertiser also benefits from exposure through The Perkolator Online, including clickable ads and links back to your website, social media, or email. Combined, our online presence reaches up to 115,000 visitors monthly, giving your business added digital visibility.
Targeted Local Audiences
The Perkolator is strategically distributed in high-traffic establishments where people naturally spend time reading. That means your advertising is consistently viewed by local consumers, families, professionals, tourists, and business owners throughout the communities you serve.
Competitor-Free Advertising
One of the things that makes The Perkolator unique is our long-standing competitor-free advertising policy. If you advertise as a realtor, restaurant, contractor, or service provider, you won’t be sharing space with competing businesses in the same publication. Your ad stands alone — helping your business dominate attention while locking out competitors.
Build Stronger Brand Awareness
Successful businesses understand the power of consistent visibility. Repeated exposure in The Perkolator, combined with your other marketing efforts, helps reinforce your brand and build familiarity, recognition, and trust with consumers over time.
A Publication People Trust
Because The Perkolator has served communities for over 30 years, businesses advertised within it benefit from that same sense of trust and credibility. When readers see your business in The Perkolator, it strengthens confidence in your products and services.
More Than Just An Ad
Advertising in The Perkolator isn’t just buying space on a page — it’s becoming part of a publication people genuinely enjoy, trust, and look forward to reading.
