Serving the Northern Nevada Building and Construction Industry Since 1957

Advertising Information

The Reno Builders Exchange was founded in 1957. It’s members include general contractors, sub contractors, architects, engineers, suppliers and manufacturers throughout northern Nevada, and the adjoining states. The Reno Builders Exchange operates an extensive planroom for construction projects located throughout Nevada, Northern California projects located in Placer, El Dorado, Yuba, Sutter, Plumas and Butte Counties, and Idaho road projects.

The Reno Builder is the official publication of the Reno Builders Exchange, and has the distinction of being the only full-sized newspaper in Northern Nevada dedicated to the building and construction industry. Advertisers in The Reno Builder reach key decision makers in the industry -- something no other newspaper can offer! Other papers may have a larger circulation, but if you want to get the most bang for your bucks, then you need to get your ads in front of the key decision makers in the industry -- and that means running in The Reno Builder. Published every Thursday, 52 times a year. Advertising deadline is 5:00 pm Tuesday for any Thursday edition. Online at www.RenoBuilderOnline.com.

With a weekly press run of 1,000, and an estimated readership of 3.2 times the press run, you can get your message directly to 3,200 readers who are active in the building and construction trades and affiliated industries. Our readers have purchasing authority, and are looking for new services, products, vendors, and subcontractors.

The Reno Builder is also published online at www.RenoBuilderOnline.com and advertisers who sign a 13-times or more advertising contract automatically get a free banner ad with a link back to their web site.

Three main types of advertising is accepted: display ads, classified ads, and legal ads.

The rates for display ads are shown below. The Builder is a full-sized newspaper (broadsheet) and runs in a three-column format. Ads can be provided camera-ready, or can be produced to your specifications by the publisher, C&S Publishing. Graphic design for ads is provided without charge when a 13-times or longer advertising contract is signed. Short-run advertisers who desire graphic design & layout services will be quoted a price for that work.

Classified ads run in a special section at a basic rate of $65 for up to 65 words, with the ad being run in 4 issues of the newspaper. Classified ads are for firms seeking to hire employees, applicants seeking work, or buying or selling equipment.

Legal ads are for businesses seeking sub bids from DVBE/DBE/MBE/WBE or SBE firms. Legal ads are priced on the length of the ad. In general, most ads will fit into our standard ad shell which is one-column by up to 2 1/2" tall. The price for a standard sized legal ad is $50. Ads will be typeset and a proof & price given the advertiser before the ad is run. Ads are run in the Reno Builder and online at www.RenoBuilderOnline.com for the one low price of $50. Ads run once in the printed edition of the newspaper; ads run 24/7 until the bid date in the online edition. Proof of Publication Statements with tearsheets are provided by first class mail after the ad has run.
