What Is a Newspaper Insert?

FSIs, or newspaper inserts/circulars, are a variation of print placement in daily or weekly publications. Aptly named, these advertisements are inserted between the pages of a newspaper rather than printed directly onto a page. You’ve probably noticed them yourself, especially on Thanksgiving Day, when the masses line up to get a peak at Black Friday sales circulars. These newspaper inserts may seem like a simple tactic, but they offer a vast range of benefits to your business and its advertising strategy.


The Benefits of FSIs

If debating the advantages and costs associated with FSIs vs ROP, please consider the following:

  • Targeting: FSIs can often be zoned by zip, radius from a physical address, cluster or county allowing reach and cost efficiencies.
  • Space: FSIs provide additional space to include specific details and conditions.
  • Linking digital and print: With the increased presence of QR codes, inserts are an excellent way to combine print and digital. Include a QR code on your FSI that links to your website or a promotional page to appeal to both the print and digital markets.
  • Multifunction marketing: Inserts can work as sales sheets or promotional pages, and you can print out extra to hand out at your business’s location. Plus, they’re more likely to get attention in the newspaper than they would as a solo piece of mail.
  • Sundays: While people are relaxing and doing the crossword puzzle on Sundays, they’re also on the prowl for sales and coupons. This Sunday paper crowd is sure to notice your inserts.
  • Response driver: cited as a top source for advertising sale information, FSIs also drive response by including a perforated response card or promotional product that can be sometimes attached to the insert.
  • Saving money: Digital printing has never been easier, which means it’s also never been cheaper. You can print a colored insert for a low cost, and the distribution through the paper will cost less than standard postage.
