The Adscene is the most read English print newspaper on the North Coast
- The Adscene is the Number One publication covering the North Coast of the Dominican Republic
- An 1/8 page (approx 3½ inches by 2½ inches) ad costs just 350 pesos, around US$10. For US$10, your ad will get seen by at least 1750 people. That means it will only cost you around half a cent for each person who sees your ad – cheaper than photocopying
- There is no other method of reaching 1750 people each week that compares in price
- In most cases, gaining just one extra customer will more than pay for the cost of your ad

"A good ad which is not run never produces sales."
Leo Burnett
"there is more money wasted in advertising by underspending than by overspending. Years ago someone said that underspending in advertising is like buying a ticket halfway to Europe. You've spent your money but you never get there."
Morris Hite
"Mass demand has been created almost entirely through the development of advertising. "
Calvin Coolidge
"Many a small thing has been made large by the right kind of advertising."
- Mark Twain
"The advertisements in a newspaper are more full knowledge in respect to what is going on in a state or community than the editorial columns are."
- Henry Ward Beecher, quoted in Rhodas Thomas Tripp, The International Thesaurus of Quotations, 1970, New York, NY: Thomas Y. Crowell Company, p. 18
"No company that markets products or services to the consumer can remain a leader in its field without a deep-seated commitment to advertising."
- Edwin L. Artzt, CEO of Proctor & Gamble, "Grooming the Next Generation of Management," A.N.A./The Advertiser, Spring 1992, p. 69.
"To advertise when trade is dull
Is useless, don't you see?
I advertise each day, and trade
Is never dull with me."
- Printers' Ink, (January 9, 1895), vol. 12, p. 44.
"The codfish lays ten thousand eggs,
The homely hen lays one.
The codfish never cackles
To tell you when she's done.
And so we scorn the codfish,
While the humble hen we prize.
Which only goes to show you
That it pays to advertise."
- Author unknown, quoted in Bruce Bohle, The Home Book of American Quotations, 1967, New York, NY: Dodd, Mead & Company, p. 5.
"he who has a product to sell
and goes and whispers in a well
is not so apt to get the dollars
as one who climbs up a tree and hollers"
- Author unknown
