Advertising
Although a niche publication, Descent is uniquely placed to reach outdoor enthusiasts that other magazines may not; cavers can be single-minded and Descent is perfect to inform them of your latest product, an outdoor shop selling caving kit or even sources of more general things that cavers use such as tents and walking boots. Then there are places to stay and places to eat and drink ...
Descent carries both colour and black and white advertisements based on areas of an eighth, quarter, half and full page. Full specifications are provided on request to those who wish to supply a ready-made advertisement, but if those facilities are not available Descent offers a free design service for adverts appearing in its pages. We can also carry inserts if you have ready-printed material (or arrange for it to be printed for you), and that means anything from an A5 sheet of paper to a brochure or mouse mat.
In addition, the classified page (aptly, better known as Calcified Ads) is open to all. Prices here are based on the number of words for text entries, or by area for boxed ads. This has always proved a popular page for small adverts for clubs – and the best part is that there is no charge for lost and found entries, nor for clubs advertising accommodation or meeting places to attract new members (commercial adverts bear a nominal charge). Space is limited, so we may edit your entry to keep more clubs on the page; with this in mind, please keep your requested entry short.
So make contact with Wild Places Publishing if you would like to place an advert or to check what is required; there are discounts for series adverts as well. Advertisers supporting Descent appear on our links page.
