What is ChitChat

A premium local publication readers love — and advertisers trust.

More modern, more colourful, more community-focused than the publications you remember.

Full-Colour Publication

Magazine-quality print readers actually pick up, hold, and keep.

Monthly Distribution

5,000 – 10,000 copies dropped at 300+ local high-traffic spots.

Print + Online Exposure

Every advertiser gets a dedicated profile page and online listing.

Hyper-Local Focus

Designed around your community — not a faceless national chain.

Why Local Print + Online Advertising Still Works

Local Advertising That People Actually See

ChitChat combines the trust and visibility of a full-colour local publication with the added value of online business profiles, coupons, and local SEO exposure.

Canadians still engage with newspaper & community content

Canadian research shows that newspaper and community-style content still reaches a large audience every week. ChitChat gives local businesses affordable exposure in a trusted local format.

Print advertising is trusted

Print advertising continues to be one of the more trusted advertising environments compared with many digital-only channels. ChitChat places your business in a local, community-focused setting instead of a crowded social media feed.

Physical publications create repeated exposure

Unlike a digital ad that disappears in seconds, ChitChat is distributed to coffee shops, restaurants, waiting rooms, salons, clinics, and community locations where people can pick it up, read it, and see your ad repeatedly throughout the month.

Coupons drive action

ChitChat includes a local coupon section so advertisers can give readers a clear reason to visit, call, scan, save, or buy.

Print + online creates stronger value

Every ChitChat advertiser receives print exposure plus an online business listing, dedicated business profile page, and coupon listing opportunity.
